That IP will be protected by patents, it won't survive by secrecy the first ifixit teardown or one of the bill of materials calculation sites will remove that veil.

- bildung 2y agoNo need to be snarky, googling "samsung rollable display patent" isn't so hard: https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=US437307413 https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=US43...
- mcny 2y agoI thought the meta or prevailing wisdom was software developers / programmers should NEVER™ read patent documents?
- ggm 2y agoThank you for that. It's almost exactly what I expected with a twist. It's not a roll up. It's a roll around. I apologise for the snark.
- codetrotter 2y agoThat patent shows the kind of screen they use in those phones that you fold in and out. Like for example the Samsung Galaxy Fold Z phones. https://www.samsung.com/en/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold6/ https://www.samsung.com/en/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold6/ I wonder if they use the same kind of folding/rolling screen or not in that laptop they show in the OP article. When I last looked at these kinds of phones in the store I found the screens super underwhelming. Maybe it has improved since.
- cubefox 2y agoThat's probably not what most people here understood with "rollable". It doesn't form a a roll like a roll of paper.
