Folding Screen For Mobile Phones Unveiled

Posted by kdawson on from the real-estate dept.

sumj sends in word out of a Taiwanese research institute of a folding display on a smartphone that allows its screen to double in size to 5 inches (slideshow here). It's a prototype at this point. Don't bother clicking for the article's second page — it's one sentence with an interstitial before.

    I was hopping for something like a roll-up OLED screen with in a bendable plastic base.

    Instead what we get is basically 2 traditional color LCD screens mounted on a swivel.

    Nothing to see here ....
