New Patent Reveals: Folding the Screen to Kill Moto in Halfway

For a long time, once talking about collapsible and flexible screen mobile phones, most people may think of Samsung first. But now in this field, Samsung may have to face a potential opponent. The MSPU of Beijing time reported that an item of Moto is available. The new patent for folded flexible screens was revealed on June 14th. This new patented solution may be able to solve a major problem of folding flexible screens.

One of the essential problems faced by foldable screens is that the user's repeated opening and closing of the screen may be like opening and closing the book, leaving the creases, which Motorola calls a semi-finished product, leaving permanent deformation marks.

In this regard, Moto proposed a new hinge solution in the patent, adding a heating element and sensors to the hinge of the device. These elements can detect whether the screen is in the unfolded state or the folded state. After that, the heating element will heat the screen. To a predetermined temperature, eliminate creases and restore the screen to a flat level.

According to previous reports, Samsung will release a foldable screen mobile phone in 2019. Samsung has filed several patents on foldable mobile phones, one of which is dedicated to achieving folding without damaging any 'internal components'. But with Moto's Incoming, such a battle of innovation is no longer Samsung's participation alone.
