Microsoft has obtained a new patent to solidify its place in the foldable phone market. The company has developed an innovative technology that will solve the problem of screen creasing commonly encountered in foldable devices. Named ‘Foldable Screen Device with Back Plate Slots,’ this patent showcases Microsoft’s serious intent and technological advancement in this field.

Folding Both Inward and Outward

Innovative Foldable Phone Patent from Microsoft

Microsoft’s new foldable phone attracts attention with its ability to fold both inward and outward. This feature allows the device to transform into various form factors such as a tablet, laptop, or phone, offering users a diverse experience that meets different needs with just one device. Additionally, the glass layer and light-emitting layer used in the phone’s screen structure allow it to bend and fold flexibly without creating creases.

Microsoft plans to use modern techniques such as laser cutting in the production of this technology. Laser cutting holds great potential in minimizing the crease issue in foldable screens. Although Microsoft’s previous dual-screen Surface Duo model did not achieve the expected success, it hopes to make a significant breakthrough in the market with this new foldable phone design.

This new development could just be the beginning of advancements in foldable phone technology. Whether Microsoft will offer more innovations and improvements in this field remains a subject of curiosity. The tech world is keenly watching how it will respond to this new initiative and the market’s reaction to this innovation.
