It’s no secret that Samsung is using a lot of time and resources in flexible displays. We have already seen in the Galaxy S6 Edge and the Galaxy Note Edge. The truth is that the company plans would go much further. His ambition and thirst for being the best in this area, we have been getting a patent filed in 2013 for flexible smartphone that can be attached to the wrist like a watch. Interestingly, his main rival Apple also posted a similar patent a while before that would have the same function.
Patent Samsung concerned detailing that a flexible OLED panel may be folded in such a way that will allow the user to place the device in the form of bracelet, to be worn on the wrist, or spread it on a flat shape to make it look like any other smartphone. Can you imagine all the possibilities we would have with this device? On the one hand, we could dispense with any smartwatch. Furthermore, the fact that it can become a watch will enable us to carry around without bothering us, saving space. Then only we would have to extend it again to regain the phone forever.
If you look at the picture, the bending device of the patent would be composed of three distinct areas. A correspond to the device body, which would become part of the phone. As we have seen in the Galaxy S6 Edge, these edges allow us to access different features when the device screen is off. Like, for example, knowing the weather, know who calls us and if we have received messages. The second zone would consist of the screen itself. The third form a series of segments, which are those that allow the terminal to be bent thereby.
Sounds good, but we cannot tell when Samsung will work on it if it does. This technology is still very green, although South Korea believes that 2016 will begin to take shape. This is not the first patent records related company flexible displays. In mid-March we reported, he had done the same with one in which a flexible and very durable phone is shown. We can say that the idea would be a device in the Active Galaxy range, but after that screen from getting bent to the extreme. In the picture that was leaked a sturdy device, prepared to withstand drops and other disagreements, water and dust looked. Also integrate other elements that allow that could be used in work environments unsuitable to have on hand mobile phone. It seems that the future is in flexible displays, but we also see a short-term scenario will not allow us to separate our phone a second. Or at work, or at home, even in our leisure hours.
