Samsung Display “droplet” falling display hinge patent from 2016
A new hinge mechanism allows the foldable display to form a droplet shape inside the hinge body, preventing creases between the sides of the panel. We’ve already seen a similar approach in the Moto Razr and Oppo Find N series. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 handsets still use a U-shaped hinge that creases and doesn’t close perfectly flat. Samsung is expected to maintain his IPX8 water resistance rating on his upcoming Z Fold5.
