Apparatus and method of providing an apparatus comprising a bendable portion
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a substrate wherein the substrate is configured to support a flexible display and the substrate comprises at least one bendable portion configured to enable the substrate to be moved between an open configuration and a closed configuration and wherein the at least one bendable portion comprises a plurality of rigid members; and
a bendable cover portion comprising a plurality of fixed portions configured to be fixed to the plurality of rigid members, the plurality of rigid members comprising projections configured to enable the plurality of fixed portions of the bendable cover portion to be fixed to the plurality of rigid members of the substrate, wherein the bendable cover portion is configured to cover at least the at least one bendable portion of the substrate wherein the bendable cover portion comprises a plurality of foldable portions configured to be folded between the plurality of rigid members such that the plurality of foldable portions enable the bendable cover portion to be moved between the open configuration and the closed configuration.
