Samsung has an unusual idea to create the perfect smartphone display

[Chris Smith]

• Samsung’s newest display innovation proposes a “sub-display” screen that would move vertically behind the main screen to cover the single-lens or dual-lens camera system at the top of the display.
• The invention would allow Samsung to build a real all-screen display for smartphones without using an under-display camera.
• The technology could be used with any smartphone, from an iPhone with a notch to a Galaxy S with a hole-punch camera.

All smartphones look more or less alike these days. They’re big slabs of glass that cover a large display with tiny bezels. If it’s an iPhone, the screen has a cutout bezel at the top that houses all of the Face ID components. If it’s an Android phone, then there’s no notch, but the screen has a hole at the top that houses one or two cameras. Neither design is perfect, as the ideal smartphone has no notches or holes. The perfect all-screen design is in the making, with several vendors studying under-display camera technology that would allow them to place the selfie cameras under the screen. The problem with this approach is that the photo quality might be impacted. That’s why we haven't seen many devices with under-display cameras yet, although we’ve seen our fair share of concepts.

Samsung is one of the companies expected to deliver phones with under-screen cameras in the future. But the company has developed a concept screen that could “fix” the iPhone notch without placing several layers of screen and glass over the cameras.
