Genesis G90 Facelift Hidden Screen Appears in Patent Drawings

Just days after our exclusive spy photos of the Genesis G90 facelift revealed its hidden curved screen, patent drawings have appeared that show the same design. The drawings were found in the database of the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPRIS) and shared by JHS, who describes the system as a "rollable screen" for the G90 facelift.

What The Patent Drawings Show

The drawings show a dashboard with a long, low shape and a screen in the middle that stands up above it:

• A screen that rises from the dashboard: the panel sits in the center of the dash, between two areas with horizontal ribs that run toward each end.

• A dedicated housing: the view from above shows a slot in the top of the dashboard where the screen sits, which suggests it can move down and out of sight.

• A clean dashboard: apart from the screen, the design is very simple, with no other large display in view.

The Same Screen As The Spy Photos

This layout matches what our spy photos showed inside the G90 facelift prototype: a wide screen in the center of the dashboard that appears to rise from the top of the dash. The patent supports what we suggested in our exclusive, that the screen can hide away when it is not in use.

Our photos also showed three round gauges next to the screen, as we reported in earlier G90 interior leaks. Patent drawings often simplify these details, so they should not be taken as a full picture of the final cabin.

Rollable Or Retractable?

JHS calls it a "rollable screen", but the drawings alone do not show how the screen moves. It could roll up from inside the dashboard or simply slide up and down. Genesis has not explained the system yet, so we will have to wait for the official reveal.

Our Take

Spy photos and a patent showing the same design make it very likely that the hidden screen will reach production. The G90 facelift is confirmed for December, so we should see it working very soon. For everything else about the car, read our G90 facelift guide.
