Apple applies for a foldable screen patent! Is the foldable iPhone far from us?
[PConline News] The biggest advantage of the mobile phone is its portability, but now the size of the screen is constantly increasing in order to give people a better visual experience. While increasing the screen size, it is certainly its portability sacrificed. The increase in the size of mobile phones has caused many inconveniences in the process of carrying mobile phones.
However, the latest information is displayed. In the evening of November 23, Beijing time, according to a document released today by the US Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), Apple Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Appleâ€) has applied for a foldable screen patent, which means that the foldable iPhone may be separated. We are not far away.
Apple stated in the patent application document: "An electronic device has a flexible part that allows the device to be folded. The device is equipped with a flexible screen that has a bendable area. When the device is folded, the screen is also Can bend with the bending axis."
In fact, it was reported as early as a year ago that Apple is working with LG Display to develop foldable OLED panels. Last month, another report said that Apple and LG have developed a foldable OLED screen for the iPhone. In addition, Apple also considers investing in LG factories.
Both reports pointed out that Apple will develop foldable OLED screens with LG. However, this folding screen patent applied by Apple is applicable to three types of LCD, OLED and microLED screens.
If the news is true, then Apple may have turned to the microLED screen. Compared with OLED screens, microLED screens have almost all the advantages of OLED screens, while at the same time improving brightness and saturation, and also lower energy consumption.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Apple is working with TSMC to promote the research and development of microLED screen technology and is expected to replace the OLED screen in the next few years. Like OLEDs, microLEDs may be the first to be introduced into Apple smart watches.
