Abstract
An information handling system having rotationally coupled housing portions supports a flexible display disposed across the housing portions with a hinge structure that manages flexible display curve radius in a folded configuration. Cylindrical spools integrated at opposing sides of a housing interface with a flexible display to rotate as the flexible display slides relative to the housing in response to housing rotation. Antenna disposed on the cylindrical spools change orientation as the housing rotates so that selection of different antenna provide desired radio signal characteristics.
