The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has registered a patent for an LG smartphone, issued on October 8, 2024. This is reported by the publication MSPowerUser.
What is known about the smartphone
Description patent talks about a smartphone with a screen that folds into a tube. It will be recalled that earlier LG was already working on the Rollable project, but its screen was deformed during folding. A new patent hints that LG engineers have solved this problem.
A magnetic substrate has been added under the smartphone's flexible display, which smoothes the screen every time it is folded and unfolded. Thus, despite exiting the smartphone market, LG continued to work on the development of sophisticated devices, and it is quite possible that in the near future we will see the result of their work.
