IT House December 12 news, according to foreign media 91mobiles reported that LG a patent for automotive folding screens passed the world intellectual property organization WIPO application. The patent shows a phone-like folding screen design that unfolds inward. The folding screen is stored in the interior of the car when not in use, and is raised and unfolded by the lifting mechanism when used, presenting a large screen in the central control position.
As can be seen from the patent diagram, the folding screen is located above the center control, and the size is expected to exceed 20 inches after unfolding. The product is lifted and lowered by a slot, and the hinged section is expected to support electric folding.
As can be seen from the schematic diagram, the side of the folding screen adopts a wedge-shaped design, narrow on the top and wide on the bottom, similar to the Huawei Mate X2 folding screen mobile phone. This approach helps to improve the stability of the structure.
