Documents recently released by the US Patent and Trademark Office show that Apple has proposedNew under-screen camera designIn addition, it is also expected to launch a screen with privacy protection effectPolarized display function.
There have been many reports that Apple plans to launch a more complete screen design. The under-screen camera design proposed this time also shows that Apple plans to configure the camera in different positions, including the original center block at the top of the screen, or the upper left block, etc., and the under-screen camera design can maintain a more complete display image without blocking specific display blocks.
Many Android phones have started importingUnder-screen camera design, perhaps Apple will also consider adopting an under-screen camera design so that the screen can display content in a more complete form.
However, the current under-screen camera design still has limitations in pixel resolution and imaging quality. In addition, if it is to meet the requirements of Face ID facial recognition unlocking, it may still require further technical improvements to achieve. If Apple moves towards introducing an under-screen camera design, it seems to further indicate that it will completely abandon fingerprint recognition in the future.Touch ID functionalityApplication.
Apple recently obtained another patent that allows for an electronically controllable polarizing layer to be embedded in the screen, ensuring that the screen display can only be seen when viewed directly from the front, preventing others from peeking from the side. Users can even decide whether to enable this feature through settings.
However, as with previous patents, it is not yet possible to confirm whether Apple will use such patents for new product designs.
