Apple develops a new patent: the flexible screen can automatically fold in half when it falls

According to USPTO data, Apple has obtained a new patent. This patent is a new patent for foldable mobile phones. The specific content of the patent is that a mobile phone with a flexible screen can be automatically closed when it detects that it is in a falling state. To greatly reduce screen damage.

The principle of this technology is that the mobile device uses the sensor to detect the change of the vertical acceleration, so as to determine the state change of the mobile phone at this time. If it is detected that it is in the falling stage, the device can automatically fold back to reduce the damage to the screen.
