Nowadays, touchscreens are drastically being used by mobile phone manufacturers but among many others, missing of tactility problem is taking place most often. Ku Phone is a revolutionary touchscreen phone concept that can overcome this problematic approach by passing a temperate electric current for different material sizes both linear and three-dimensional ones. This handset is designed to form switches, buttons, wipers, etc over the surface of the mobile for any particular application. Moreover, this phone can demonstrate finger force to a given area and a moderate resistant or a feedback can be produced accordingly. For example, button pressing or wiper movement at the phone can completely imitate the analogous components of traditional systems.
This phone includes a giant, bright, flexible and energy-saving OLED screen which is the only way of interacting and can independently produce required buttons and wipers for operating a program. Aside from that, the ergonomic shape of that phone allows to place the phone comfortably over a palm. There is a foldable stand at the back surface of the phone that can be used to place it as a lucrative alarm clock or can be used as an elegant lamp using the brightness of the OLED screen.

The flexible OLED screen of EOS folding phone concept from Kyocera is able to change its shape from a clamshell to close like a clutch-purse or a wallet. Appealing to our humanistic senses, a semi-rigid and soft polymer skin is used surrounding the flexible OLED display. This flexible screen allows greater adaptability of shape and interaction by maintaining a compact shape for simple use and unfolds to access a large widescreen display. The most incredible thing is the EOS charges through a collection of nano-scale piezoelectric generators that can create energy when a user interacts with this device.
The Kyocera EOS can be used in its folded-up shape for simple phone calls, unfolds to reveal a wide screen, and we were excited to hear that the it derives its energy from human interaction. The more you use the phone, the more kinetic energy is turned into an electric charge through an array of tiny piezoelectric generators. In other words, you’ll never have to worry about leaving the house with a semi-charged cell phone again.
