Unfold like a picture scroll, Apple's new flexible screen iPhone patent exposure

CTOnews.com, May 26 (Xinhua)-- according to a list published by the US Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple has obtained a patent called "Electronic device with flexible display structure", which can be unfolded like a picture scroll.

CTOnews.com here translates some of Apple's patent descriptions as follows:

Mainstream screens usually use rigid structures such as glass substrates, which makes it very challenging to make compact electronic devices. Through the flexible screen, it can be wound on one or more rollers.

At the location of the storage screen, the flexible screen can be collected around the roller. When the screen is pulled out of the housing, use the auxiliary settings to expand the wheel to expand the screen.

Apple has previously obtained a similar patent for a "sliding expandable display", which can be shortened by half of the screen and rolled into the inside of the device, just like the current iPhone, without using it.
