The screen mem concept phone has a curvature of 88 degrees
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – Xiaomi officially introduced smartphone first concept with a quad-curved design. This model has a curved screen on four sides.
In its official blog site, Friday (5/2), Xiaomi said the screen has a curvature of 88 degrees which allows the visual interface “water flows over the surface of the screen.”
Almost all frame smartphone covered by a screen. While the body has no ports or buttons, putting forward a portless design, or what is called unibody, which is futuristic.
“Xiaomi never stops innovating, trying to find the best balance between imagination and reality. Pushing the boundaries of the smartphone form, engineer Xiaomi trying to make the smartphone as simple as possible and take the form of “screen only” a step closer to life, “said Xiaomi.
Xiaomi calls the biggest challenge in producing the industry’s first four-sided “waterfall screen” is not bending the screen. The biggest challenge is in making 88 degree rectangular curved glass panels and 3D processing.
“Polish a piece of glass hyper-curved with an 88 degree curve on four sides requires self-developed glass processing equipment, hot bending under 800 degrees Celsius temperature and pressure, four different polishing tools, and up to more than ten complex polishing procedures, “Xiaomi explains.
In order to attach the 88 degree curved glass part to four sides, the screen arrangement design is adopted through a 3D bonding process. Furthermore, screen shape is a crucial factor in determining shape smartphone future. With its new quad-curved breakthrough, Xoaomi is also here smartphone unibody without a port.
This design ensures that almost all sides of the phone are covered by the screen. To do this, Xiaomi has developed 46 patented technologies, in which the physical port and function keys can be replicated by other alternatives.
In these devices, Xiaomi also develops various technologies, including ultra-thin piezoelectric ceramics, the industry’s first-claimed flexible film display technology, third generation under-screen cameras, wireless charging, eSIM chips and pressure sensitive touch sensors.
