As MsPoweruser experiences, the corporate has taken out a brand new patent for a cell phone.
However this isn’t simply any cellphone – it’s seemingly a brand new model of the rollable system that LG started teasing in 2020, simply months earlier than it stopped making handsets.
The brand new patent diagrams present a display screen that’s ‘rolled up’ at one finish, permitting you to tug it out to your chosen measurement in response to the state of affairs.
The patent itself is 21 pages in whole. It was filed on 10 October 2023, and has a publication date of 8 October 2024, therefore why it’s public now.
Does that imply the LG Rollable would possibly lastly materialise? And can it mark the beginning of LG’s return to creating telephones?
