LG patented yet flipside foldable phone, this time one that stands out of the crowd, considering it’s transparent. The patent mentions ways you can operate the device by doing touch input using its rear side. LG has been experimenting with quite a few foldable device formats.
Usually we see them revolving virtually foldables that are clamshells and wrench in a vertical manner, but this time it’s different. The visitor once unveiled a 77 inch flexible and transparent 4K OLED exhibit at SID 2018. The idea of a double sided transparent smartphone is still pretty fresh. The new patent refers to a “Mobile Terminal” and it was filed 3 years ago, but tried this week.
The documents show a smartphone that’s basically all exhibit and it’s worldly-wise to bend. There’s a exhibit zone at the front and when of the phone. Bezels are narrow and everything is see though. Apparently, transparency can moreover change. If the transparency of the screen info is higher than 20%, the rear touch sensor is activated.
Once you fold the device open, the flexible screen is made of two parts, the left and right one. Each can independently show transparent or opaque content, with the stratum of transparency depending on the wile at which you hold the machine. Once you do a fold, the transparency increases. This sure sounds like something uneaten compared to what Samsung and Huawei have been doing.
There are a lot of moving parts to get through and I imagine such a device would be very slim and have a “stub” with all the main components on the side.
