Samsung Invents an Extendable Display
January 10, 2020
Samsung was awarded a patent to enlarge the display area of the phone for a wider viewing area that also supports a scrolling flexible display design. With this new design, Samsung could technically deliver one smartphone that offers multiple display sizes for one price or offer two smartphones with a wider variety of display sizes. The USPTO published the application in December, although it was filed in June 2019.
