Designers are asked how they can design products that utilize the technology while remaining meaningful. Yun Liang’s scroll cellphone takes its inspiration from how traditional Chinese paintings are unfurled.
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. Awesome.

I think this is my favorite design I’ve seen yet. VERY cool. Especially the fact that you don’t always have to roll it out to use it. The only thing I might add to it would be a supplemental LCD screen on the outside to display things like caller ID, battery strength, and incoming SMS messages. I’d definitely carry a phone like this.
