Seems like the toilet paper? Xiaomi has released a patent about the new type screen

At the OPPO Future Technology Conference held in November last year, OPPO demonstrated an OPPO X 2021 scroll screen concept phone.

Compared with the folding screen mobile phone products currently on sale, it adopts a stretch design, which is a leap forward.

When it is not unfolded, it is like an ordinary 6.7-inch hyperboloid screen mobile phone. When the screen is electrically unfolded, it achieves a 7.3-inch screen size, which is comparable to a tablet computer.

And through the ingenious design of the OPPO R&D team, the 6.8mm pulley reel can achieve the vision of almost zero creases on the screen.

And Xiaomi seems to be making such a stretchable mobile phone with a bolder design.

Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. today published a patent for a winding screen mobile phone, which was filed in March and the publication number is CN306531897S.

The patent abstract shows that this product is a winding screen mobile phone, including the screen in the storage state and the screen unfolded state.

It can be seen from the patent drawings that the winding screen mobile phone adopts a cylindrical design, with a speaker on the top and a camera on the side.

The biggest highlight is that the screen can be pulled out of the cylinder to display, just like pulling toilet paper.

If the screen is soft enough and thin enough, in theory this cylinder can hold a screen tens of centimeters long.

Will Xiaomi make it a reality? We will wait and see.
