The display may be rigid LCD, OLED, microLED with a rigid glass cover. Optionally, flexible, bendable display with stretch-rigid circuit backing and flexible cover screen may be used for a foldable or rollable device, comprised of a bending hinge located at or below the mid-section of the display body, wherein the thinner display section is bendable against the thicker section of the front display. Another embodiment of the wedge body is comprised of rollable housing slats and a flexible display in the lower half thinner display section that can be rolled up like a scroll or lie-flat against the thicker part of the device body.
