NTN September 25 news According to Appleinsider report, Apple is studying to expand its nano-textured glass applied on Pro Display XDR to iPhone or iPad.
Apple introduced optional nano-textured glass on Pro Display XDR, and then applied it to the 27-inch iMac. Now, it seems that it plans to deploy it on portable devices including iPhone and iPad.
Judging from the currently exposed patent application titled “Anti-reflective treatment of texture shell components”, Apple hopes to provide better protection for its own devices, so these devices include “mobile phones, notebook computing devices (such as notebooks), Tablet computing devices (such as tablets), portable media players, wearable devices, or other types of portable electronic devices.” However, these drawings focus on iPad-like devices, while the rest of the text avoids specific instructions, but does Several mobile phones were mentioned.
Naija Tech News understands that this “textured area” consists of “the surface of the substrate, a set of protrusions extending outward from the surface of the substrate” . The width of each protrusion is greater than or equal to about 750 nm and less than about 10 microns, and these protrusions are described by Apple as a method of etching on glass. The end result is that a piece of glass with such an etched texture can effectively reduce reflectivity by using nano-texture, thereby preventing light from directly acting on the user.
However, there is a big challenge in doing so: the device may be more prone to scratches. Apple requires the use of a special cleaning cloth to minimize this situation. It is not clear how it will further protect devices like the iPhone, which are usually worn by users in their pockets. Friction with hard objects in the pocket, such as sand, coins, keys and other sundries.
The patent application was completed by three inventors: Joseph Poole, Matthew Rogers and Naoki Matsuki.
