[Gearbest News]On July 14, Gearbest noticed that according to the information displayed on the Qichacha APP, a patent for “electronic device with a rollable display” by Apple Research and Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd. has been officially announced.
The patent abstract of Qichacha shows that the electronic device in the patent has a rollable display, a pixel array for producing images and a transparent protective layer, which reveals that the protective layer and the pixel array overlap, and the display can move between an unfolded state in which the display is flat and a rolled state in which the rollable portion of the display is rolled up for storage, and the transparent protective layer may include a glass layer, which may be locally thinned in the rollable portion to facilitate the curling of the display. When the display is bent during the curling operation, the compressive stress in the outward-facing glass surface can prevent damage to the display.
According to industrial and commercial information, Apple Research and Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd. was established on October 13, 2016 with a registered capital of RMB 100 million.
