Last week, foreign media LetsGoDigital reported a special IBM smart watch. According to the content of the message, this watch can be extended to a tablet computer specification display. At the same time, LetsGoDigital said that it found that OPPO obtained a patent for a foldable smart watch last year.
As early as the middle of 20 18, OPPO submitted a patent application for wearable electronic equipment to the world intellectual property organization (WIPO), which was published in September of 20 18.
The smart watch designed by OPPO has the same style as other smart watches, and is equipped with a regular strap, but the screen is rectangular. One feature of the watch is that the display template can be folded, and the user can have a larger screen display area at any time when needed.
When the screen is folded, it is difficult to find out whether the screen is a double screen or a simple screen. But in fact, according to the description of the patent content, the handle screen adopts a three-fold flexible screen design, which can easily change the screen display area to 200%.
At present, it is not known whether OPPO has a project to develop foldable watches. Earlier this year, OPPO announced that it was developing a foldable smartphone.
Both Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X have been postponed, but in the future, more and more manufacturers will develop electronic devices with foldable displays. Will this trend be the real mainstream in the future?
