LG patents show smartphone design with an in-display selfie camera

Despite facing tough times with the smartphone division, LG isn't giving up anytime soon. We have recently seen the company filing patents for square-shaped camera setup on the rear. This time, the company has filed for multiple design patents in South Korea with KIPO (Korean Intellectual Property Office) for a full-screen smartphone with a camera under the display. The design patents show two smartphone models; one with a bezel-less design and rounded corners, another design is edged-curved on the right-hand side, making the device thinner on the right side. The company, in both the cases, is using a flexible display. It contains an oval hole where the selfie-camera is present. The display contains an oval hole for the selfie camera, which is made of a transparent material. This oval hole can be placed at different locations; in the middle, also in the left or right top of the device. However, it isn't clear why the company chose the oval shape, but it is ideal size if it wants to place two selfie-cameras. The patents were published on 24 October and 2nd November 2018. Via
