Samsung was very busy in 2013 creating new technology and filing patents. This stems not only from competing with other brands for market share but also in its intention to becoming the undisputed leader in the mobile industry. So it comes as no surprise that the Korean tech giant will continue to pull out all the stops this year.

Last November, Samsung’s CEO bared plans over folding displays on some of its devices that are apparently slated for release this year. Toward the end of 2013, patent watchers were the first ones to report about the latest patent filing by the company.

Just a few days ago, the patent for what seems to be a foldable tablet has been granted to Samsung. Details about the device have been raw so far. From the filed sketches, it looks like any other Samsung tablet released in the market, except, of course, that it can be folded down to the size of a mobile phone.

While this news can definitely be a source of excitement, the mere granting of the patent itself does not guarantee that the foldable display already exists. Samsung engineers now have the onus to implement the technology that will revolutionize the smartphone and tablet market.
