LGE Awarded Another Rollable Smartphone Patent in China
 
Despite indications that they are exiting the market, LGE patented a roll-out display, which includes two displays, not one that rolls out. According to 91mobiles, the Korean OEM filed patents for this device back in 2019 under the Chinese National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), and it was published just recently.
The primary display is the typical rectangular shape with rounded corners. It'll have the tall aspect ratio that everyone has come to love, and a noticeable bezel. The real magic happens when the secondary display expands. It looks like the secondary screen will be more than double the width of the primary. As for the design of the phone's body, it looks really unexciting from the front. Turning the phone reveals that it's actually more oval in nature. There are slight curves to the front and back, which are most likely there to provide room for the screen to roll up inside. The top of the phone has a seemingly random circle. Chances are that it's the cut-out for the pop-up selfie camera. There's no indication of any ports or the overall size of the device itself. It can be expected that the device will be about the height of the average modern smartphone, but much thicker. While the smartphone sounds interesting, for LGE, it is too little and too late.
