HTC Patents Dual-Screen Slider Smartphone, Stashes it away for the Future

Overall, it is good to see HTC on the up and up, as it gives them the time to come up with patents such as this dual-screen slider smartphone patent. Rather than have a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard, the patent shows a device where a second screen slides out to fit with the existing screen and form one unified display.

While dual-screen slider smartphones are not new, many have failed because two screens resulted in a really thick and heavy device to lug about. So far, HTC seem to be blazing a new trail in design with their HTC One, so while this patent will probably be stashed away for the future, it does lead to brighter expectations for a well-designed dual screen slider from HTC in the not so far future.
