Recently seems to usher in a wave of folding screen mobile phone boom, the end of last year to the beginning of this year, a number of domestic folding screen mobile phones appeared, directly benchmarking Samsung's folding screen products. But have you ever wondered what it would be like if you designed your laptop to be folded as well? Will it become one of the notebook forms of the future? And Samsung is chasing that answer.
According to media reports, letsgodigital said that Samsung has applied to the World Intellectual Property Office organization for a patent on the folding shape of the notebook, which can bring two folds to the notebook. The patent shows that the first folding is the conventional closing of the computer screen, after which it can be folded again to form a double folding design.
As can be seen from the patent diagram, the display part and keyboard part of the notebook are built-in hinges, which is convenient for users to fold twice, and the final shape is that the original D side of the notebook becomes the front and back sides after folding. And you can also see that this notebook also offers 2 batteries, one on the left and one on the right.
Such a design does bring convenience in terms of portability, but its cost is bound to be not low. Whether it will eventually be mass-produced and sold remains to be examined, after all, this patent has just been approved. Then again, Samsung's folding screen research and development spirit is still worth learning.
