Microsoft's new Surface foldable phone patent approved
CTOnews.com, October 6, according to the latest patent announced by the Hague Patent and Trademark Office, Microsoft has obtained a patent for the latest technology for Surface foldable mobile phones, demonstrating the use of a flexible screen substrate that can be deformed after the screen is folded.
CTOnews.com attached a patent schematic. Compared with the droplet design used by mobile brands such as Samsung and OPPO, Microsoft's folding scheme is more like an onion, with a flat bottom, shifting the folding pressure to the sides.
In its design description, Microsoft said that the foldable device can be unfolded 180 degrees without a gap in the middle in a closed state, preventing unwanted foreign objects from entering the interior of the device.
