看了上图,我们会发现一个不同于现在市场上面所能见到的滑盖手机.其实滑盖手机为我们提供了一个折中的方案,在保证可视面积的同时,也能够保留象征着BlackBery的QWERT键盘.相信大家也注意到了,当将屏幕滑上去的时候,屏幕将于键盘成一定的角度,确实很独特,官方称之为”Angled slider”.这种设计类似于一些掌机,也许能够提高浏览的舒适程度,不过具体效果如何估计还只能够等到真机出来才能得到验证.另外,当合上屏幕时,将会通过触摸屏进行操作,关于触摸屏RIM刚获得了一个新的专利,名字叫做”System and method of integrating a touchscreen within an LCD“,根据专利描述看来,RIM的折中触摸屏技术是不同于iPhone的,而是同正在开发的S60的触摸屏技术相类似.

A touchscreen liquid crystal display, method for using a liquid crystal display as a user input, and a mobile electronic device are provided. The touchscreen liquid crystal display comprises: a liquid crystal display having a viewing surface and including a plurality of parallel first electrodes located on one side of a liquid crystal containing area and overlapping with a plurality of parallel second electrodes located on an opposite side of the liquid crystal containing area, the first and second electrodes overlapping to form an array of liquid crystal pixel elements, at least some of the first electrodes being displaceable towards the second electrodes in response to external pressure applied to the viewing surface; a driver circuit coupled to the first and second electrodes for driving the electrodes for selectively controlling a display state of the display pixel elements; and a measurement circuit coupled to the electrodes for measuring display pixel element voltages for at least some of the display pixel elements formed by the first electrode, and for each display pixel element for which a display pixel element voltage is measured, comparing the measured voltages to reference voltages and determining a relative force of the external pressure on the viewing surface based on the measured voltages.
