Xiaomi’s new patent uses electrostatic adsorption to reduce creases in foldable phones
The Chinese brand Xiaomi is one of the market leaders in smartphones. The company has a few new technologies that have not yet been commercialized. However, he is still working on more. A recent patent filing by Xiaomi shows that it is still trying to improve the foldable phone. According to Chinese Patent Publication Announcement of National Intellectual Property Office (No.: CN217880704U), the patent for “Folding Screen Components and Folding Electronic Devices” applied by Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd . has been authorized and published.
Patent Details
The abstract shows that the present patent relates to a collapsible display assembly and a collapsible electronic device. It includes a flexible screen, an electrostatic adsorption layer and a support structure. However, it has two other support structures. The first and second (dual) support structures all support the flexible screen. Double support structures are not static, they are mobile. These structures are arranged on either side of the first support structure. The dual support structure can also fold and unfold relative to each other. This involves driving the flexible screen to fold or unfold, by electrostatic adsorption.

The layer includes a first electrostatic adsorption layer. This layer is placed on the surface of the first support structure facing the flexible screen. Further, the first layer is used to generate an electrostatic adsorption force. Thus, the flexible screen can be adsorbed on the first electrostatic adsorption layer.
According to the patent specifications, through the above technical solution, the first electrostatic adsorption layer and the flexible screen can separate from each other or connect. The electrostatic adsorption force generated by the first layer can absorb the soft screen. This helps to avoid bending of the flexible screen during the folding process. It also reduces the flexibility of the flexible screen. By doing so, it improves the fold situation in most foldable phones. Indeed, it also improves the life of the components of the screens.
