Engadget Logo Engaget Japanese version of Apple, a patent to hide notches by sliding the iPhone screen
Apple has shown a movement to reduce the notch (notch at the top of the screen) for the first time in the 2017 iPhone X, and is rumored to be extinguished in the future.Meanwhile, it was revealed that Apple hid hidden when he was not using the iPhone notch and had a patent to increase the display area of the display.
Apple's newly approved patent "Electronic Devices with Adjustable Display Windows (electronic device with adjustable windows)) moves a part of the display and other optical parts.Explains how to show or hide.
This mechanism explains in the display that "a window area (light can come and go from the outside)" and operate a self -portrait camera or a TRUEDEPTH camera dot projector for Face ID.When these parts are not used, the movable part of the display covers the window area and hides the sensor under it.
In short, "When you do face authentication or selfie, a part of the display opens and becomes a" window ", and exchanges light and infrared rays through it. Close the window and have all the missing parts like a notch.It will be a screen.
The patent describes two mechanical means that moves part of the display to create such "windows".The first is a flexible (folded) display that moves around the hinge, or a separate rigid display (as usual glass substrate), a flap (opened lid).
And the second karakuri device is to use a flexible display to move through an actuator that can be adjusted electrically.This is a mechanism that slides the entire display down to open the window and expose the notch part.These mechanical movements are performed under the glass of the display, so the internal sensors are not exposed to the outside air.
High -tech giants like Apple have applied and acquired patents every week, and those technologies are not necessarily adopted in future products, but at least Apple is aesthetically excellent notch.It can be seen that you are not considered, or if you can hide it if possible.
Apple adopts the "Punch Hall Display Design" (a selfie camera at the bottom of the screen and drills a hole in the display to secure a visibility) in the iPhone 14 Pro (provisional) of 2022.It is rumored that we are considering eliminating notches completely.
There is also a precedent called "front camera that comes out of electric slides" like OPPO Find X on Android smartphones.However, there is also a feeling of flying tools, and it has not been established in the successor model of the OPPO smartphone.I would like to wait for Apple to what kind of secrets will be introduced to erase notches from the world.
