Motorola’s new patent for folding screen design leaked
Although folding screens can only be regarded as a niche trend in mobile phones, with the continuous entry of major manufacturers in the past two years, Samsung, Huawei, OPPO, Honor, etc. have their own folding screen plans. I believe this field will soon become one of the mainstream in the market.
It is worth mentioning that Motorola’s folding screen product line has not been updated for a long time, but the general manager of Lenovo’s mobile phone business department said on Weibo a while ago, Motorola’s Razr series, as the industry’s first mobile phone with a vertical folding screen, will not stop changing, and are already preparing three generations of products.
As one of the first manufacturers to launch folding screen mobile phones, Motorola should not be ignored by the public. The last time they launched a folding screen product was more than a year ago. At that time, the Razr and subsequent 5G versions were launched. Now, the new products should be fast arriving. According to media reports, Motorola has obtained a patent for a new foldable mobile phone granted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and the related design patent drawings have also been made public.
From the perspective of the patent content, the new Motorola folding design is very unique. It adopts a reverse folding design, which means that the folded screen is outside, and the screen wraps the entire mobile phone, so it also forms a dual-screen shape. However, it also has a protruding image module on the top, which is used to place the lens and can also protect the mobile phone. The hinge design part adopts a new scheme, which is said to minimize creases and fold the phone flush without gaps.
You know, Motorola used a movable screen folding scheme on the previous Razr. When folded, its screen will extend to the chin module. This time the design scheme is completely different. In general, Motorola, which has been at its peak, has performed very well in recent years. In recent years, the competition in the field of folding screens has continued to rise.
