Apple's patent for foldable screen phone exposed, improving both durability and user experience

News on September 5th: In the mobile phone market, folding screen mobile phones have become a trend. Major mobile phone manufacturers have launched their own folding screen mobile phones. However, Apple has not joined this trend. However, the latest indications are that Apple may launch its own foldable phone in the near future.

According to information from the Tianyancha App, Apple recently applied for a patent related to folding screen technology. The patent involves an "electronic device with a durable folding display." The core of this patent is that it allows the device to fold slightly around the bending axis when dropped or subjected to shock, which helps prevent the display from hitting a hard surface when fully opened, improving the durability of the device.

Learn more about this patent and you can find that the foldable display is bent around the bending axis, and the display panel has a pixel array that can display the image on the display overlay. The display cover is made of a glass layer with a recessed portion extending along the bending axis. This design allows the glass layer to become thinner when bending, thereby increasing its flexibility.

In order to further improve the impact resistance of the display cover layer, the patent also mentions that the corner parts and other edge parts of the cover layer are thicker. In addition, display hinges and other structures can also help keep the screen flat when the device is unfolded normally, and allow the display to fold slightly around the bending axis when the device is impacted, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of damage and providing users with a better Use experience.

It should be pointed out that although the announcement of this patent has aroused people's expectations for Apple's folding screen mobile phone, it does not mean that Apple's folding screen mobile phone will be launched soon. However, this patent undoubtedly shows Apple’s latest research and development results in the field of folding screen technology. There may be more news about Apple’s folding screen mobile phones in the future, let us wait and see.
