Abstract
A curved display integrates in a portable information handling system housing to present visual images to an end user about an arc for improved viewing angle. The portable information handling system rotates the housing from an open position that exposes the display in a curved configuration to a closed position that brings the display against a main housing portion with the display transitioned from the curved to a planar configuration for a low profile storage position. Display curve is managed with a curved support frame that bends to a planar form, a pair of perpendicular-axis hinges that rotate opposing housings about a horizontal axis and manage display curve about a vertical axis, and a dual axis hinge with a sliding bracket that adjusts for greater housing spacing in the curved configuration.
