Microsoft flexible screen

A report recently claimed that Microsoft has demonstrated a new dual-screen device internally to some of its employees.

Yesterday, an independent developer found new tidbits of foldable Windows 10 devices and today we have unearthed a new patent that details a display technology for foldable devices. Unlike other patents for foldable devices, the new patent from Redmond giant focuses on display technology. In patent drawings, Microsoft has detailed flexible displays that could bend or fold. Microsoft says the popularity of flexible displays has grown in recent years. The company adds that flexible displays may be moved to a bent configuration, but such screens could be fragile.

In the patent, a computing device with foldable and flexible display has been detailed. The flexible display includes a thin film transistor matrix having a front surface and a back surface.

Testing conducted by Microsoft in August using preproduction software and preproduction devices.

Testing consisted of full battery discharge with a mixture of active use and modern standby. The active use portion consists of 1 a web browsing test accessing 8 popular websites over multiple open tabs, 2 a productivity test utilizing Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook, and 3 a portion of time with the device in use with idle applications.

All settings were default except screen brightness was set to nits with Auto-Brightness disabled. Wi-Fi was connected to a network. The content value indicates that the flex basis is automatically-determined based on the flex item's content. When creating a flex container, you can specify the orientation of all child elements inside of the container. The flex-direction property sets the direction of the flex container's main axis, or the primary axis along which flex items are laid out.

The flex-direction property allows you to specify if the children are displayed from right-to-left, left-to-right, top-to-bottom, or bottom-to-top. You can also specify how you want the flex items to wrap when the flex container is resized. The flex-wrap property specifies whether child elements wrap onto single or multiple rows or columns. Sometimes it's easier to set both the flex-direction and flex-wrap together by using the flex-flow shorthand property.

These two sub-properties together define the flex container's main and cross axes. When necessary, the order property can visually reorder flex items. By default, flex items in a flex container are displayed in the same order as in the source document unless changed using this property. In the CSS snippet above, the first property sub-value, row , in the flex-flow shorthand sets the flex container's main axis to the same orientation as the inline axis of the current writing mode.

In this example, and by default, the writing mode flows horizontally from left-to-right and from top-to-bottom. The second property sub-value, wrap , in the flex-flow shorthand above specifies that flex items are wrapped and displayed in successive, parallel rows. Here, the flex container expands in height, perpendicular to the axis defined by the writing-mode property, to accommodate the additional rows when the flex container is resized. If the size of the flex container is reduced, the flex items display in separate rows, as specified in the flex-flow property as shown in this image.

The order property is also used, so the flex items aren't displaying in the same order as specified in the source document. The justify-content , align-items , align-self , and align-content properties allow you to adjust this alignment. Using the justify-content property, you can set how flex items are aligned along the main axis of the flex container after any flexible lengths and auto margins are resolved.

The following picture shows the values for justify-content and their effects on a flex container with three flex items. To further adjust the alignment, you can also adjust the cross axis alignment of the flex container using the align-items property.

The cross axis is the axis that is perpendicular to the main axis. The following picture shows the values for align-items and their effects on a flex container with three flex items.
