Kyocera unveils the foldable EOS concept with OLED screen and kinetic charging

Kyocera’s EOS concept phone is a wild departure from the form factors we know and love. The EOS is roughly the size of a small wallet when folded up in thirds, allowing you to make “simple” calls. Open the soft polymer shell half way to expose an OLED display and QWERTY keyboard, the keys morphing up and out of their closed state using shape memory. Open it fully, and you have a huge widescreen display ready for media consumption. As you use the EOS, kinetic energy is transformed into electric charge using nano-scale piezoelectric generators.

The concept is still in its early stages, however Kyocera’s design teams in San Diego and Bangalore are looking at different ways to incorporate some of the ideas into products that will be released long before the EOS will.
