As teased earlier this week, Oppo has taken the wraps off a crazy concept phone with an extendable display. This concept phone is dubbed the Oppo X 2021 and includes a motorized function that helps expand the display to offer more screen real-estate.
The #OPPOX2021 is the latest achievement from OPPO’s constant exploration into mobile phone form factors. It is built with a rollable OLED display measuring 6.7 inches which expands to 7.4 inches. #OPPOINNODAY20 pic.twitter.com/T96DOQ8KZm
The company calls its a rollable concept phone because the flexible display remains folded under the chassis. The powertrain, as explained on stage at the event, includes two motors to help unfurl the display uniformly to avoid any disformity. This method also ensures there are no visible folds or bends in the display – something common in foldable phones. Also, it is common knowledge that flexible OLEDs are not as rigid, so you will find a proprietary 2-in-1 plate (with a comb-like design) to support the display when it expands.
