Abstract

An example folding device (100) includes a hinge assembly (106), a first assembly (102), and a second assembly (104). The hinge assembly (106) defines a first axis (108) and a second axis (110). The first assembly (102) includes a first arm (112), formed from a first material and rotatably connected to the hinge assembly about the first axis, a first main housing component (114), and a first divider (116) disposed between the first arm (112) and the first main housing component (114). The first main housing component (114) is formed from a second material that is different than the first material. The second assembly (104) includes a second arm (118), formed from the first material and rotatably connected to the hinge assembly about the second axis, a second main housing component (120), and a second divider (122) disposed between the second arm (118) and the second main housing component (120). The second main housing component (120) is formed from a second material that is different than the first material. Folding device (100) may include housing components formed from different materials with different properties (e.g. strength, weight, thermal conductivity, galvanic isolation, etc.) to address one or more of the disadvantages (e.g. thickness, weight, thermal performance, wireless transmission performance, reliability, complexity, cost, etc.) while achieving a continuous color appearance.
