The new patent comes hot on the heels of another patent application Microsoft filed last week for a multi-layered screen that consists of panels with curved edges which sit below a single upper layer. Many believed it was the design for the rumored Surface Phone. Now, the new patent notes that the normal display would aid in rendering visually dynamic user input controls while the e-paper display would be used to render visually static user input controls. Microsoft’s patent application notes: The patent also indicates that the e-paper display would be touch sensitive and detachable. It is worth pointing out, though, that Microsoft filed the patent in September 2016. That means it remains unclear when and if the software giant plans to make it a reality. Details of the patent are available on WIPO. RELATED STORIES YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT:
