Buckle up, tech enthusiasts! Samsung owns a patent that hints at the creation of a new smartphone with a breakthrough design – a rollable screen. This thrilling product not only helps us stick to the prevailing trend of foldable screens but also gives us a whole new way to interact with our devices.
If you can imagine a mini-theater type of phone, you can realize that a phone could be barely bigger than a card, yet expand like a full-sized movie screen. Well, the patent outline tells us that the phone will expand itself compactly for movie watching, gaming, and multitasking providing ample screen space. The patent drawings represent a roller cylindrical type, with a rotating display mounted on its inner side.
Simplicity and love towards nature are visible. The image shows the phone in three states: folded state, rolled state with half the paper unfolded, and fully unfolded state. Additionally, other mechanics of the mechanism, particularly how it accounts for the hinge system, are explained in detail with the inclusion of relevant illustrations. The closed hinge will keep the phone secure and not flip, it will perfectly extend and balance the deployment of the screen.
While the specifications of the phone are not known at this point, it can be seen as a spark of Samsung’s future dreams. Rollable displays present new interactive capabilities to users compared to foldable displays, perhaps surpassing all the functions of foldable phones. Such a cutting-edge design will positively surprise us, placing it on the front line of Samsung’s production line. In future scenarios, smartphones may function only by rolling back sequentially.
