Samsung secures patent for three-fold, roll-up smartphone screens, suggesting new foldable models
Samsung appears to be developing two novel types of foldable smartphones, judging by their recent patents. The company has just gained a patent for a unique three-fold screen, along with a compact roll-up smartphone screen.
The famous South Korean technology company, Samsung, has reached an important landmark by obtaining patents for its advanced tri-fold and rollable display technologies from the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This accomplishment highlights Samsung's ongoing inventiveness in the field of flexible display technology.
Samsung's three-part folding display technology, highlighted at CES 2022, has received a patent from the USPTO. This differs from typical foldable phones that open like a book, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 5 or OnePlus Open. Samsung's three-fold display proposes a unique method. The patented design includes a screen module with at least one foldable section, enabling the screen to extend across three panels at once. This pioneering setup provides users with a smooth and broad viewing experience, similar to the Flex S technology Samsung has previously shown.
Along with the three-part display, Samsung has also obtained a patent for its retractable screen technology. The patent outlines a device that contains a retractable screen, which can be pulled back into the casing when the device is shut and expanded for usage when open. The casing is depicted as being "flexible" in two stages – shut and open – which helps in the seamless extension and retraction of the display panels via hinges.
These patents demonstrate Samsung's dedication to advancing display technology, however, the firm hasn't revealed any imminent intentions to incorporate these advancements into consumer goods. It's possible that Samsung is concentrating on perfecting these technologies to tackle common issues of performance and durability linked with foldable devices, prior to their market launch.
Samsung's unwavering drive to innovate in the domain of flexible display technology solidifies its standing as a pioneer in the field. As the company keeps pushing the boundaries of these revolutionary technologies, customers can look forward to potential future devices that could offer improved adaptability and usability, thereby transforming the world of consumer electronics.
