The flexible technology of the screen makes the folding screen possible, and the folding screen technology has become the focus of research and development of various manufacturers in recent years, and a "practical" folding screen reflects the important standard of the brand's technical strength. In the research and development of folding screen mobile phones, flexible displays have been relatively mature, such as Samsung, Huaxing Optoelectronics and other suppliers have a stable process, and responsible for folding the "hinge" design, is the place where each family opens the gap.
From the perspective of the current folding screen products, the folding screen is most criticized for its crease and durability, and hinge technology is the key to solving the problem of screen crease, and it is also where the folding screen form terminal can truly withstand the test of reliability.

What is the difficulty of hinge design?
The mainstream folding screen hinge is divided into U-shaped hinges and water drop hinges, Samsung uses mostly U-shaped hinges, and Huawei uses water drop hinges. In terms of the current mass production products, the bending radius of the water droplet hinge is larger, the screen is more natural when folded, and the crease control under the cover material is shallower, and the screen wear is also the lowest.

Recently, Huawei's new hinge mechanism invention patent application was exposed on the Internet, and it is said that this technology will further solve the folding screen crease, which can once again improve the folding screen experience to an unprecedented level.
Judging from the invention patent diagram, Huawei's hinge mechanism route this time is completely different from the previously released products, by optimizing the connection of each component, thereby avoiding the screen being squeezed or stretched during the folding process.
Both invention patents involve the core component of the folding screen , the hinge. The folding screen mobile phones that have been released so far have the phenomenon of screen creases, in addition to affecting the perception, life expectancy is also a concern for consumers. Although the water drop hinge of Huawei Mate X2 has been relatively perfect, how can Huawei, as a company driven by technological innovation, be satisfied with the status quo?
Regarding the folding screen, Huawei's technological innovation has never stopped
Here we may wish to review huawei's development in folding screen technology, Huawei as one of the first batch of enterprises to launch folding screen products, for technological innovation has never stopped. At present, Huawei has launched three forms of folding screen mobile phones, from the Mate X of the first generation of horizontal folding solution, to the Mate X2 of the second generation of horizontal folding solution, and then to the vertical folding huawei P50 Pocket.
It is reported that after five years of technical conquest, Huawei has realized the industry's unique double-spin water drop hinge, and finally formed a water drop-type screen space at the bend, so that the screen can maintain the best flatness after unfolding.
It is not difficult to see from the past generations of products that an excellent and reliable folding screen product is inseparable from years of technical research and development investment, and it is definitely not possible to buy ready-made solutions at suppliers. If the new folding screen patent exposed this time can achieve mass production, I believe that the folding screen experience will be elevated to the level of the industry ceiling. At the same time, with the rich product line of Huawei folding screen, the upstream and downstream of folding screen, the gradual improvement of software and hardware ecology, and the problems of product crease, weight, application and other experiences have been greatly improved, Huawei will continue to improve the technical pain points of folding screens, bringing consumers a beautiful experience such as thinness and no creases.
See you on the evening of April 28th! Huawei officially announced the new folding screen flagship Mate Xs 2
On the morning of April 22, the official blog of Huawei terminals said that "this 'face' is worth seeing", announcing that it will hold a Huawei folding flagship and all-scenario new product launch conference on April 28, and release a new folding flagship Huawei Mate Xs 2.
