LG Wins Design Patent on Horizontally Rollable TV

What They Say

The Dutch language version of the LetsGoDigital website has reported on a new design patent granted to LG by The Hague International Design System, part of the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO), for a ‘Television with rollable display’. Unlike the current shipping rollable TV, the design uses a horizontally scrolling technique.

What We Think

I’m not so convinced that this design would be as popular to consumers as the vertical concept, which disappears from view completely. However, it does look less difficult to make, I think. A horizontally scrolling display might make some sense in an area of the home where the display could be left on and used as an information point – e.g. in a kitchen. (BR)
