Apple's Face ID patent exposure under the screen: it can achieve a real full screen 1 12 In April, the US Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple a patent, which eliminated the bangs of the iPhone and put the original camera module under the display of the mobile phone. Apple's new patent is authorized, which makes us full of hope for a real full-screen iPhone.
From the published patent drawings, we can see the effect difference between the off-screen Face ID and the present Liu Haiping, and the working principle of this technology. Front camera, Tof, dot matrix projector and other components are hidden under the display screen. Apple pointed out in the patent that all front components are at the bottom of the screen, but the distance between each component and the display screen is not the same.
The screen Face ID of Apple iPhone has always been a function that users can't forget but can't realize. Judging from the current news, the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max released this year only cancelled the ancestral Liu Haiping and replaced it with the "exclamation mark" hole-digging design, which further improved the screen occupancy, but the hole-digging area was not small, and it was said that its diameter reached 5.6 mm, which was much larger than that of Android.
Guo Ming, an analyst at Tianfeng International, said recently that the off-screen Face ID will appear in the iPhone 16 series in 2024, and the release at this time point is more like a marketing purpose than a technical issue. However, for the Face ID on the screen, Guo Ming just guessed that when to mass-produce it depends on Apple's mood.
Recently, the Android camp, which is striding towards a truly full screen, has little news about the types of off-screen cameras except the next version of Motorola edge X30. Xiao Lei believes that it is very likely that the development of off-screen camera technology has encountered a bottleneck, and it is impossible to make further breakthroughs in a short time.
The biggest problem facing the off-screen camera now is that it can't give consideration to high resolution. At present, most models equipped with off-screen cameras are basically 1080P screens. Considering the display effect of the off-screen area, the resolution of 2K is temporarily unavailable.
In addition, with the current technology, the display brightness of the under-screen area is difficult to be equal to that of other parts of the display screen, and the screen window effect still exists. Most users should not like to sacrifice the display quality of the screen to get rid of digging holes. After all, the display screen is the most frequently used part of the mobile phone.
On the other hand, off-screen camera technology is not fully mature, and the production cost is not very low. Manufacturers rarely apply it to high-end flagship or low-cost models. In order to ensure the display effect, the mainstream full-screen form is still digging holes.
For Apple, the priority of display effect is definitely higher than the real full-screen form. Perhaps the real full-screen era is not far away from us, until the Face ID technology under the screen can give consideration to both display and form.
Patent exposure under Apple's Face ID screen: it can achieve a true full screen. At present, off-screen fingerprint unlocking has become the flagship standard for Android phones. Originally, everyone was looking forward to the off-screen fingerprint unlocking of the iPhone, but not long ago, the iPhone added the function of wearing a mask to unlock the face, so the possibility of carrying off-screen fingerprints on the iPhone became lower.
However, although it is unlikely that the iPhone will be unlocked by the off-screen fingerprint, a patent for the off-screen Face ID of the iPhone has appeared on the Internet, and the patent has been officially granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office. According to the patent information, the Face ID of Apple iPhone hides the front camera at the bottom of the screen, which solves the visual field occlusion caused by abnormal bangs and brings a real full-screen visual impression.
Because the next generation iPhone 14 series is suspected of adopting "!" The shape of perforated pill screen, so it is unlikely that iPhone 14 series will adopt an off-screen camera. Guo Ming, an analyst at Tianfeng International, once said that the Face ID of Apple's iPhone is expected to appear in 2024, which is the iPhone 16 series. However, foreign media TheElec reported that the iPhone's Face ID will be adopted on the iPhone 15 series.
Of course, this is only the result of speculation. After all, although there are mobile phones with off-screen cameras on the market, the maturity is still not high, and for Apple, immature technologies will basically not be introduced to the market.
Apple's Face ID patent exposure under the screen: It can achieve a real full screen 3 Since Apple first adopted Liu Haiping on iPhone X, people have different views on this brand-new design.
Generally speaking, the most talked about is the aesthetic problem of Liu Haiping's design.
According to outside news, the iPhone 14 Pro series will cut off the Liu Haiping that has been used for five years for the first time and adopt a brand-new perforated screen design.
Judging from the CAD design drawings exposed by the outside world before, although the perforated screen in the shape of "exclamation mark" did not release the area at the top of the screen, it still significantly increased the proportion of the screen.
As soon as the news came out, many friends also said that after watching it for a long time, Liu Haiping always felt that the new perforated screen was not so pleasing to the eye.
Although everyone's views on the design of the iPhone can only be said to be different, in fact, Apple has already planned the final form of the iPhone, which is a real full-screen iPhone like a piece of glass.
After the iPhone was upgraded to a full screen, Apple cut off the Home button and solved the "chin" of the screen. Now it's time to solve the hole in the iPhone's "forehead".
Recently, the exposure of a latest Apple patent has brought us the latest development of a real full-screen iPhone.
The US Patent and Trademark Office has officially approved an Apple patent, which eliminates the bangs of the iPhone and hides the components supporting Face ID at the bottom of the screen.
From the concept map shown in the patent book, the components of Face ID have been moved to the bottom of the screen.
Not only that, another patented picture also shows the location of the camera.
You can see that the camera will not touch the screen (4 10), but will be closer to the back of the screen (4 18), which is the bottom of the screen.
If the news is true, the overall appearance of Apple's full-screen iPhone will be consistent with what is widely believed, and the Face ID component and camera will be hidden at the bottom of the screen. It is expected that the screen ratio of full-screen iPhone will reach an unprecedented 100%.
In this way, the full-screen iPhone is not far away.
In fact, foreign media reported that Apple will cooperate with Samsung to use a more advanced technology than UPC (Off-screen Camera Technology) to hide the Face ID component under the screen.
According to the report, if the development is successful, Apple will use this technology for the first time on next year's iPhone 15, making the off-screen Face ID possible.
However, according to Apple's consistent style, most of the iPhone 15 series will extend the perforated screen on the iPhone 14 Pro series and extend it to all models.
At the same time, some reliable industry analysts also gave predictions and confirmed the news.
Ross Young, a source, said earlier that the off-screen Face ID will be launched on iPhone 16 first.
Subsequently, Apple broke the news that Guo Ming, the first brother, also agreed with the accuracy of the news.
In addition, the exposed Apple patent shows that this patent was submitted as early as 20 19, which means that Apple has already started to develop a full-screen iPhone.
Perhaps Apple's related technology is close to maturity, just waiting for the day when the results are developed.
If the news is true, iPhone 16 will become the first full-screen iPhone.
Let's wait and see.
