Folding screen mobile phones have been born for many years, including Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO have been launched or will soon launch the corresponding products, but have you ever thought that the car central control screen can also be "folded".
Recently, according to media news, LG submitted a patent for folding screens for automobiles, which has passed the application of WIPO for world intellectual property rights.
This patent is a folding screen similar to a mobile phone, unfolding inward, stored inside the car console when not needed, and raised and unfolded by the lifting mechanism when used, acting as a central control large screen.
From the patent diagram, similar to the Huawei Mate X2 folding phone, the folding screen is wedge-shaped, this design helps to improve the stability of the structure, through the electric hinge folding, the size is expected to exceed 20 inches after unfolding.
Lifting central control screen is not uncommon, the old Audi A6L uses a similar design, but it uses only a straight screen, and the size is general, and LG applied for a patent is naturally not a variety.
In the era of large screens, car screens are also more and more played out of flowers, such as Ford EVOS has a 1.1-meter integrated screen, the visual effect is quite shocking, and Lantu FREE's screen is not only very large, but also can be lifted and lowered with the entire center console, full of ritual.
The patent declared by LG this time is likely to be inspired by folding mobile phones, because in addition to this patent, foreign media also said that LG is developing a vehicle scroll screen device (OPPO said it is very familiar), but the device currently has no detailed information.
