In the absence of Huawei, stopped by Ban USA after a race through which he had managed to reach the level of competition in a few years to the sound of innovations, to push together with several others on the innovation pedal is Oppo, a Chinese giant of which it isAs soon as a patent emerged for the creation of an all -screen smartphone.
Of Android smartphones whose front surface is all (or almost) occupied by the screen today the market is full, but the manufacturers want to hit fans with even more pushed solutions.The goal, which also transpires from Oppo's patent, is to design a smartphone in which the screen really occupies all the space available, therefore both the front and the rear part, with the exception of few areas intended for indispensable components such ascameras.Oppo's solution follows the others, similar, of Huawei or Samsung, who in the past have deposited similar patents.Oppo dates back to May 4, 2021, when the World Intellectual Property Office (Wipo) announced that he had recorded the documentation.
Oppo's patent for the smartphone all display
The all -screen smartphone of Oppo has the front, the rear part and also the left side occupied by the screen, while the right side remains available to the user together with a small portion of the rear surface to support the smartphone and to host the cameras group, in the patent made up of four elements in addition to the LED flash.
The drawing attached to the Oppo patent, as is normal on occasions like this, is rather schematic.So, given the charm of such a bold solution, the Dutch graphic designer Jermaine Smit used the base to give the oppos project of realistic appearance.
That of the images is and remains an "autonomous" elaboration, that is, deriving from the imagination of the designer and in no way attributable to OPPO or to credible rumors. The project is fascinating, but for the current state of technological development it seems, in Spanne,also difficult to realize in terms of assembly and resistance over time.
Oppo, however, showed through the patent approved by the Wipo that he had concrete ideas for his realization.In fact, in the document the company explains how to glue the screen to the central frame and how qualified staff could eventually remove it to replace it following damage.
A very thin steel plate positioned between the screen and the frame is used.In this way, the flexible display is optimally supported and a fairly contained thick screen can be used.
Not just display, also cameras in Gogo
Despite the documentation mainly concerns the assembly of the smartphone all screen, the Oppo patent speaks in depth also of the cameras, on which the company seems to be concentrated widely despite the peculiarity of the device, of course, on the screen.
The prototype cameras group consists of several objectives: the images show four in the classic vertical arrangement.The documentation also shows the possibility of adding further cameras.Who knows if and when we can admire bold smartphones like Oppo's.
