Unlike Apple, many manufacturers will carry out patent registration before the revolutionary new product is ready to be released to protect the new machine from high-speed "copying" by competitors. Microsoft is no exception. Several months before the release of Microsoft Surface Studio, patent documents had appeared in the Patent Office.
Recently, a number of mobile phone design patents were disclosed. The patents submitted by Microsoft in October 2014 include several very special folding screen mechanisms:
The hollow but flat surface folding mechanism can be changed between 180 degrees and 0 degrees. When it is turned over, the telescopic mechanism is simultaneously pulled to support and straighten the flexible screen;
The enhanced version of double screen folding above - triple folding, in which there are two reverse folding structures of the same size, and one large and one small inclusive triple folding;
The stretch screen and flexible screen are on the same track as the transmission belt, and the body has a stretch structure similar to the keyboard bracket, which will pull out the screen hidden in the body at the same time.
Turning a mobile phone into a computer, or a computer into a mobile phone, has always been the desire of Microsoft and many mobile phone users. The biggest bottleneck is not only the difference between the mouse and finger interaction themes, but also the conflict between screen display areas. The AMOLED flexible screen can alleviate the problem of the latter, which is short of realizing the cost.
