Can expand from both directions
According to the newly discovered patent application, Samsung is working on a panel design that can expand horizontally and dynamically resize depending on how it is used. As can be seen in the images, Samsung’s concept allows the screen to extend outward in both directions and takes the size of a standard device when closed.
No further details were shared about the new concept. However, in the patent files “This electronic device may include a flexible display, a first rolling mechanism configured to expand the flexible display in a first direction, a second rolling mechanism configured to expand the flexible display in a second direction opposite the first direction, and at least one processor.” information is available.
It’s interesting that Samsung needs “at least one processor” for the new concept. But this is likely to be for the sensors. Likewise, the device can detect peripherals such as smartphones and expand the screen accordingly.
Today, smart device manufacturers apply for many patents in line with their future plans. However, most of these are shelved before they are implemented. Therefore, there is no absolute guarantee that the new concept will become a consumer product.
