Next generation Mobile Phones to look at in patent


Higher specs, but the same mobile phones
There were times when various types of mobile phones such as folder phones and slide phones were released. However, since the introduction of the front-mounted display, the shape of it has remained almost unchanged until the era of the smartphone. In these days when specifications are evenly level up and smartphone sales are declining, the results of research and development on next generation mobile phones of companies are revealed one by one through patent disclosure.


The biggest interests of companies, foldable phones
Recently, the most hot-issued one is ‘foldable phone’. It is a phone that can literally fold a large screen in half, and it has the advantage of being able to easily carry a larger screen. Many companies such as Google, Samsung Electronics, Apple, LG Electronics, Microsoft, Oppo, and Huawei are working on the development of foldable phones, and some companies have already developed technology enough to show prototypes.

Roll-on mobile phone, Rollable phone
LG Electronics is most interested in rollable displays. At the World Electronics Expo 2019 (CES2019) held in a few days ago, LG Electronics unveiled Rollable TV. In the same way, many research and development are underway for the rollable phone. According to a patent filed by LG Electronics, it is a technology that uses a flexible display that can be bent and used as a phone that can be used in the form of a desired size by extending the display when the portable device is normally used like a pen.

Using two displays together at the same time? Dual screen phone
Recently, the interesting patent application of Samsung Electronics was revealed. In the specification of the patent document, it is a phone that can deform two displays freely by attaching/detaching two displays. The display itself is not folded or bent, but two displays can be used as one or stacked by using magnets. Rollable phone or Foldable phone is a technology that makes it easier to carry a larger display, and dual screen phones are seen as a technology that aims to make more use of the two displays.

Expected Next Generation Mobile Phones
The same shape of smartphone has remained for quite some time since the front-display mobile phones. However, as the various types of mobile phones being studied and revealed to the public, the public expectation of new mobile phones is increasing. Experts say that next year's phones will emerge from this year. We’re very excited to see what kind of mobile phone will catch our attention in near future.
