Key highlights

The Nano Hinges are mechanically simple, minimalistic, ultra-slim, sheet metal machined, sturdy, and thick with very few failure points. They are mechanically actuated by loaded torsion springs calibrated to each individual array, attached via soldering or epoxy to the applied surface, lubricated with solid (powdered) graphene, and coated in corona dope for any non-conductive surface. The mechanical movement range is also hard-in-design specific to the particular hinge by stops incorporated into the geometry of the assembly. Each individual hinge can also, optionally, be configured as conductive to carry current from panel to panel.
