Under-display cameras haven’t taken off at the rate many had expected. While they give smartphones an all-screen aesthetic that’s desirable to consumers, the technology still has practical limitations for photography. Now, it seems that Samsung has developed a novel way of addressing both concerns while also adding functionality.
In a patent spotted by LetsGoDigital and filed to WIPO in June, Samsung envisions an under-display camera phone with a sliding “sub-display.” As the name suggests, the phone features a large primary screen as you’d expect, but lurking beneath it is a much smaller display. This display covers up the under-display camera when it’s not in use. When users want to unlock their device or shoot a selfie, the screen slides out of the way exposing the camera.
