Flexible displays have shown great advancements in recent times. Ever since their inception, the new breed of the display has branched out to fields like, smartphones, TVs and may soon be seen in other areas as well. Now, a recent LG patent reveals a new product that features a unique design with a rollable display.
According to a LetsGoDigital report, the South Korean tech giant filed a patent application for this ‘Electronic device’ with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) back in 2019. This got approved earlier this month arrives with various product sketches as well. Looking at these images, a device with a primary base can be observed which features all of the components as well as the rolled up display. This base has a square rectangular cuboid or triangular design, based on the variations.
Judging by its size, it is meant to be a compact and carryable device that might serve multiple purposes. The display is a rollable OLED panel, which is similar to the one seen in its Signature TV R that featured a rollable display as well. A power button can be found on top of the display device, while additional buttons are also placed next to it that control the display rolling out or rolling in. Although, images show that the user can also manually pull out the display if needed.

At the moment, it is unsure what purpose the device actually serves as the images reveal that it indeed has a camera as well on one end and the display can be used for multimedia entertainment. Another interesting feature is that the device also has a stylus, which may be indicative of the gadget being targetted towards professionals in the creative fields. Furthermore, when pulling out the display, the aspect ratio of the image being displayed is changed according to the amount of display that is rolled out. So, users can choose what length of the display they require.
Unfortunately, the name of this product is currently unknown and its internal specifications are also unclear. However, LG has provided an in depth breakdown of the components that will be housed on the inside of the device’s casing, so we can assume that the company might actually be working on such a device and could possibly showcase it in notable events like CES 2021. Although, that is just speculation so take it with a pinch of salt.
