Specific messages
Recently,a new patent of Apple entitled "Electronic Devices with Flexible Display Overlay" was exposed, which shows that the folding iPhone can repair scratches and dents on the display by itself.
It is understood that the new patent content shows that an electronic device can have a hinge that allows the device to bend around a bending axis, and a display screen can span the bending axis. In order to help reduce the number of dents, scratches or defects in the display screen coating, the display screen is covered with a layer of "self-healing" material. Specifically, theflexible layer itself can include a layer of elastomer, which can be stretched and restored to its original shape, and can also be regarded as a "self-healing element", which can delay the service life of the folding machine to a certain extent.
It is worth mentioning that on September 8, Apple held a new product launch, and the high-profile iPhone 14 series was officially released. There are four models in this series, namely iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
From the information we have heard so far, Apple's new patent application is very useful for folding machines that need to bend the screen frequently. After all, folding machines are not cheap, and it must be a good thing to make them have a longer service life. No matter how specific the information is, we will have to wait for the subsequent exposure.
