The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted LG Electronics a patent for what it calls the Mobile Terminal.
The document is about a unique smartphone. He, as planned by the South Korean company, will receive a flexible design and a transparent display.
It is noted that flexible screens will be located both in front and behind. Such an implementation will theoretically allow for a wide variety of use cases.
When folded, the device will resemble a book. Having opened the gadget, the owner will have at his disposal a tablet with the ability to display information in the front and rear parts.
The degree of transparency of the display will vary depending on the mode of use. It can be minimized to work with the gadget in the usual mode.
If the transparency exceeds 20%, the back of the device turns into a touch control panel. The user will be able to see through the smartphone their fingers on the back of the device and thus interact with the content on the screen.
The patent application was filed at the end of 2015, but it has only just been issued. Of course, while LG's flexible transparent smartphone is nothing more than a concept. But the patent gives an idea of ββwhere the Korean company is heading.
