A Dutch inventor has a design of a mobile phone has been developed, whereby in a single movement of the hand three screens can be folded out. Several large companies such as Nokia and Microsoft would ge lwa interested in the design.
The concept consists of a design that is protected with a patent for a motion open up a device with three screens. In the design of the three screens at various points are interconnected, after which they through a movement with the hand extended. Two of the screens are in landscape position to see, a third is standing next to it.
According to designer Hans te Maarssen from Groenlo, the concept is ideal for various applications. “You can now, for example, one screen as a touch screen keyboard set up with great big letters and on the second screen, the incoming message is visible to keep you on the third screen answers.”
By the positioning of the screens he would as a substitute of the netbook can be used by people who are on the road. “Especially on the Asian market, people will such a design can appreciate, because there they are less inclined to have a netbook to take with you.” The phone with three screens, currently has the dimensions of a Nokia N95, which by its depth of around 20mm is thicker than almost all modern smartphones.
Phones with two screens have been in existence longer. A recent example is the Kyocera Echo, an Android smartphone with two 3.5″screens. The Echo from this spring for sale in the United States. Also, the Nintendo DS series use a dualscreen design.

Maarssen, however, thinks that it is faster to a release may come as it is developed on Android, as that os is easier to port would be for use on the three screens. When there is actually a product to purchase will be designed according to this concept, is unclear. Maarssen previously designed a keyboard that rsi had to avoid.
