According to a list published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) last Thursday, Samsung recently obtained a new design patent, which reveals a new possibility for the future development of smartphones.
According to the public announcement, the design patent mainly includes perspective views of two devices (as shown in Figures 1 and 2). Figure 1 shows the overall appearance of the device, while Figure 2 shows the device in its unfolded state. This innovative design has caused widespread speculation in the industry about the form of Samsung's future smartphones.
It is understood that Samsung emphasized the simplicity of the new structure in this patent to prevent the rebound effect of the metal layer at the end of the sliding display device, thereby reducing the display Risk of cracks in panels when compressed into curved shapes. In addition, the structure is highly impact-resistant, which is expected to increase the durability of the device.
Samsung’s patent focuses on the structure of the display itself and does not detail the marketing or end uses of the rollable display device. However, since Samsung has extensive research and development experience in the field of rollable/foldable smartphone devices, analysts generally believe that this patent may be an important breakthrough for Samsung in the mechanical structure of micro-sliding display smartphones.
The above is the detailed content of Samsung smartphone once again obtained a new design patent published by WIPO, and its mechanical structure innovation once again attracted attention. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
