Samsung Files Patent for a Z-Shaped Folding Display
Coming from LetsGoDigital, you can see a smartphone that can be bent in two different places. So this suggests that Samsung files patent for a Z-shaped folding display. And in this z-shaped folding display, you can see that the smartphone actually bends instead of folding.
Now looking at the images, one might think that such a smartphone would be very inconvenient to use and carry, which is very true. Such a smartphone won’t be the most comfortable thing to carry around. But the patent is filed by Samsung Display and not Samsung Electronics. So it is high probability that we won’t see such a smartphone with a z-shaped folding display. But we might see a display that folds from two places and is very flexible.
