Earlier this week, a patent detailing Samsung‘s double-folding phone ambitions broke cover. Now, it’s Microsoft’s turn. The Redmond-based company was recently awarded a patent for its vision of a double-folding triple-screen device.

Initially spotted by Patently Apple, the patent was filed in June 2020 but was awarded to Microsoft on December 23, 2021. It describes a “multi-panel display device” that utilizes two hinges and three distinct sections, each with its own display portion.
