The perfect TV viewing angle from anywhere in your living room is no longer a myth, as according to a newly published patent from Samsung, a TV with a flexible display that viewers could bend by using a remote control, just like changing the channel is on the way.
In addition to adjusting the physical display, the remote control would also alter the images to fit the screen’s new positioning. The television would include a “panel deformation member” that is placed on the display’s rear to control its movements, the patent said.
According to the patent, future Samsung TV owners would be able to bend or rotate a portion of the screen or the entire display depending on your viewing preference. The remote would communicate with the TV via Bluetooth or infrared connection. Ideally, the controller would pull up a menu that would offer various options on how to alter the screen, allowing the viewer to customize the rotating angle, bending direction and precise degree.
