Xiaomi's scroll screen technology has been approved: the best solution for future mobile phones

Do you remember the roll-up screen phone that LG showed off two years ago? This solution allows the flexible screen to be rolled up like a scroll, hidden inside the body, and the screen size can be switched with one click through a motor.

More importantly, this method can perfectly solve the current folding screen crease problem and can also protect the fragile screen to the greatest extent.

But it should be noted that LG, which proposed this plan, has now withdrawn from the mobile phone market, and the concept phone displayed at that time will never be released again.

However, Xiaomi recently announced that a similar patent has been approved, which may reproduce the "scroll screen" design.

It is reported that Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. recently obtained a patent authorization for "folding mechanism, curling screen structure and electronic device".

The patent abstract shows that the folding mechanism includes a first movable plate, a second movable plate and a connecting rod mechanism. The patent setting can switch the object to be rolled up between a folded state and an unfolded state. The object to be rolled up can be a screen, so as to realize the function of the screen and the whole machine rolling up to achieve the purpose of the screen zooming function in the complete state and reduce the appearance of the whole machine.

In this way, the biggest pain point of current foldable screen mobile phones will be easily solved. More importantly, this solution does not require the two sides of the body to fold and overlap. The thickness of the body will be greatly reduced compared to the folding solution. It is one of the best solutions that can truly turn variable screen size devices into a usable state.
