Microsoft has filed a patent for a 360-degree foldable display.
The design uses flexible glass with a backplate to avoid creasing.
The design should be stronger than other flexible glass designs, such as the Galaxy Fold.
Microsoft may be preparing to turn the foldable smartphone market on its head with a new design that would eliminate hinges and address issues with traditional folding methods.
Microsoft has filed a patent application for a revolutionary type of folding mechanism, one that relies on a section of flexible glass to allow 360 degrees of motion. Unlike other designs that use flexible glass and eventually develop creases, Microsoft’s uses a backing plate with slots that are designed to keep the glass in pristine condition.
