Like, follow, you don't get lost in the digital realm! Apple recently got its hands on two patents for groundbreaking technologies that will revolutionize the face of displays and surprise us with more. The first is the under-display front-facing camera technology, which Apple achieves a seamless full-screen display by employing a black mask layer on the device to hide the camera lens. This means that we can enjoy a larger display area without being disturbed by the presence of the camera. You'll never have to worry about your camera taking up screen space anymore!
Moreover, Apple's patent also introduces a highly transparent window to ensure that light can be transmitted efficiently, thereby improving the performance of the camera. At the same time, the cleverly designed black mask layer can also reduce diffraction artifacts and create an artifact-free image. Apple has also adopted subpixel distribution technology, which improves the overall display quality by eliminating the nearest neighbor subpixels of the same color to evenly distribute the subpixels. In this way, devices such as our phones and macbooks will have a clearer and better display.
The other patent is for shatterproof folding display technology. Apple wants to apply this technology to iPhones, hybrid tablets, and laptops to enhance the durability of the device. They introduced a chemically textured glass in the fold to make the glass stronger and less prone to breakage. In addition, the inner surface of the display overlay is textured to reduce reflections and provide additional structural integrity. At the same time, the thin part of the display overlay has a variable thickness, transitioning between the thinnest area and the non-thin part, increasing the overall strength and toughness. This means that we don't have to worry about the fragility of the glass when using folding devices, and it is more durable.
The news of Apple's acquisition of these patents once again demonstrates their determination to push the boundaries of display technology. They are always striving to improve the user's visual experience and solve real problems. The application of these innovative technologies will bring us better display effects and more durable devices. As a leader in the consumer electronics industry, Apple continues to lead the trend of technological advancement. We can expect a seamless blend of form and function in future Apple devices, redefining what's possible with modern display technology. Maybe in the near future, we'll see an iPhone that can automatically fix glass cracks, or a MacBook that can deform, so let's wait and see!
