</p><p>
	According to the tech giant, the display itself can decide to break away, regardless of how the device folds at the hinge or whether a screen can be removed from a base chassis.</p>
<p>
	The display can detach or fold in a way that protects the screen in place of a possibly fragile hinge.</p>

	&#34;Mobile devices with foldable and rollable displays can use a sensor to detect vertical acceleration (e.g., acceleration with respect to the ground) to determine if the mobile device has been dropped,&#34; the patent application said.</p>
<p>
	&#34;If the sensor detects that the mobile device has been dropped... the foldable device can retract at least partially to afford protection from the fragile display from striking the ground,&#34; it added.</p>
<p>
	This means that there are then two options -- retracting the screen or releasing it.</p>
<p>
	&#34;(For example, the process) can include activating a release mechanism for a hinged connection between a first display and a second display of the electronic device when the vertical acceleration exceeds a predetermined threshold,&#34; Apple said in the application, &#34;wherein the activating reduces an angle between the first display and the second display below a threshold angle.&#34;</p>
