Samsung has been experimenting with its foldable and rollable displays on various devices now. Recently, a patent filing suggests that Samsung is working on a Galaxy Watch with a rollable display and inbuilt camera.
On June 2, Samsung Electronics filed a
patent with the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) for an ‘Electronic
device comprising a rollable display and display method therefor’. The 96-page
documentation was released and published on December 9, 2021. According to a
newly released patent, Samsung is working on a Galaxy Watch with two
semicircular display parts, which can be expanded from the centre frame, as you
can see from the diagram.
The default form factor of the watch is
compact, but in a fully extended position, the screen surface is approximately
40% larger. Users can expand and shrink the screen of the Samsung rollable
watch accordingly by pressing the crown on the side of the watch case, says the
patent.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch has an oval display
instead of a circular one. The middle frame also houses a camera for photos and
video recordings. However, when Samsung intends to release a rollable Galaxy
Watch remains unknown for the time being. The patent also discusses in-depth
the various operating options of the Watch.
