The pop-up display is slightly narrower and looks to sport a smaller panel. It is unclear what the secondary display is capable of doing as it is just in the patent stage. Despite the sliding panel, the front camera and sensors are placed within the narrow top bezel giving users two complete displays with no notches or punch holes.

Unlike a pop-up camera which is really only designed to do one thing, a pop-up screen would seem to offer a much wider range of possibilities. The extra display could be used as playback controls for music or movies, a physical drawer for displaying all your apps, or even a superpower notification tray.

On phones with a screen that extends out to the side, that bonus display could be used to support on-screen controls while gaming so your hands don’t cover up valuable screen real estate in titles like Fortnite or PUBG Mobile.
