Samsung is making a significant investment in the tablet market. In order to continue improvements for such devices, the company has recently registered a new patent showing the development of a tablet with an extended screen.

Samsung is working on a tablet with an expandable screen
The company’s patent application to WIP O (World Intellectual Property Organisation) was obtained by 91mobiles. The expandable screen tablet patent has attracted great attention. It is also worth remembering that the brand already has a patent for a laptop with an expandable screen.
The request to register the Korean company’s new patent was made by the Samsung Display Co division responsible for doing business as a display supplier for Samsung and commercial partners.
As with many models, especially Samsung, some images showing the tablet with a standard rectangular appearance have been published. However, unlike other models, it is understood that the screen of the device is much thicker without the sides with expandable space.
It is also rumoured that the tablet’s screen can automatically expand according to the user’s task, which can make it much easier to use. In addition to automatically expanding, the tablet can also return to its original state if there is no need to maintain the expanded size.
This step of Samsung takes its leadership in foldable screens to a new dimension, signalling that the competition will accelerate in this field. Although it is unclear when tablets with expandable screens will become commercially accessible, it seems certain that this technology will shape the future.
So how did you find this patent?
