Previously TCL has made us acquainted with the sliding screen technology by first revealing a device that has a sliding screen tech. Now the Chinese giant Huawei has also recently filed a patent for two sliding screen devices. Both the patents have a different mechanism of sliding screen.
Incase you haven’t seen the mechanism of sliding screen here is a video that will give you an idea how does the mechanism looks like.
LETSGO DIGITAL has shared bot the patent designs named Model A and Model B, both look quite similar but the mechanism is slightly different in both the devices.
Model A shows some kind of roller mechanism, similar to the TCL’s sliding screen smartphone, where the flexible screen gets rolled inside and when pulled it comes out thus we get a larger screen.
Model B shows some kind of sliding plate where the screen is stuck and when pulled the screen slides and expands.
There is no official news from the company so we still don’t know what to expect from this, but we have to see which one makes it finally to the market.
