Scroll Phone
When ePaper Meets Modern Design
Designed by Yun Liang, this mobile phone is inspired by ancient Chinese scrolls. Having said that, there is nothing ancient about this phone. It blends ePaper with modern design. Yanko Design describes, "When not in use, the display neatly rolls into the tube. All numeric key functions remain tactile running along the side of the scroll as opposed to touchscreen. This makes it possible to use without having to unroll the screen. You would only do so when accessing media and data."
