Data from Tianyancha reveals that the patent for “Folding Device, Housing Assembly, and Electronic Equipment,” filed by OPPO Guangdong Mobile Communications Co., Ltd., was officially published on March 21, 2025, under the publication number CN119676339A. This patent is specifically designed to tackle common problems associated with foldable - screen phones, such as sagging and loosening due to pressure when the device is unfolded. By employing an innovative design approach, the patent does away with the traditional middle - plate structure. This allows for stable support of the device. Moreover, it increases the space available to accommodate the screen when the phone is in its folded state. As a result, it reduces the stress exerted on the flexible screen, thereby prolonging its service life.
