that become bigger by folding out,
but this one is so, so much better, Chinese
electronics company OPPO has revealed a concept smart phone is called the
X 2021, which expands by rolling out its screen on a miniature conveyor belt,
the OLED screen in the X 2021 simply unfurls like a scroll, growing from 17 centimetres to 18.7 centimetres at the slide of a button,
this is
possible through a trio of technological innovations, centred around the roll-out
mechanism, the flexible OLED screen is laminated onto a steel "warp
track", which resembles a conveyor belt or the tracks of a tank, allowing
it to be rolled out when needed while strengthening it and maintaining its
shape, a "two-in-one plate" makes up the body of the phone, which
essentially consists of comb-like units that are interlaced to form a single
surface behind the screen, when moving into tablet mode, these are cleaved
apart to accommodate the display's expansion, while always leaving a certain
number of "teeth" supporting the centre of the display to prevent it from collapsing inward,
the
tablet-sized screen is designed for gaming and reading ebooks, "Compared
with the fixed screen size of a folding screen, the on-the-go adjustment of the
rollable screen promises endless possibilities and can even enhance office
productivity and entertainment experiences," said OPPO. Although the x
2021 was presented at OPPO's
Inno Day, now the down side, the company has stated that there are no
immediate plans to make it commercially available, but you never know next year
it may well be here!
