FLEXIBLE DISPLAY

FLEXIBLE display will be the next frontier for mobile devices. Royole has announced its Cicada Wing, a fully flexible display that allows users to bid adieu to broken screens, when incorporated within the Royole FlexPai device. It brings together the functionalities of a smartphone and a tablet complete with a flexible screen. The FlexPai can be used both folded or unfolded for additional flexibility. Based on Royole’s Flexible+ platform, it can be easily integrated into a range of products and applications across numerous industries. When unfolded, it will feature split-screen mode support and multi-tasking capability, letting you dragand-drop across applications while sharing its features in a manner that a regular computer does. In addition, the screen size will adjust itself automatically so that users enjoy their videos and gaming sessions in comfort. If you need to be on the move, simply fold up the FlexPai and you are good to go.

When folded, it continues to support dual screens with separate, simultaneous operations, with both interfaces on the primary and secondary screens mutually interacting with one other. Powered by the unique Water OS that automatically adapts different viewing modes for different folding angles and user scenarios, the FlexPai uses Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon eight-series flagship chipset and is accompanied by a dual camera set-up (20-megapixel telephoto lens and a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens). It also has a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes, a fingerprint sensor, USB-C charging capability and stereo speakers. There is no available information on the availability of the Royole FlexPai just yet.
