A patent for one self-repairing screen, which in fact will folds, allegedly registered by Apple,, according to his post 9to5Mac.
Η company which is rather preparing its own proposal for foldable phone, for a smart phone whose screen folds, tries to solve a common problem through this patent: the damage that occurs when two sensitive screens touch and there are small particles such as grains of sand.
«When operating an electronic device, the screen protector may be deformed. To reduce such effects the screen could include an outer layer of self-repairing material»Is typically mentioned in the patent.
In fact, as explained, the ideal scenario would be for the screen to self-repair with the help of an external stimulus, such as application of heat, light, electricity, etc., and without the user intervening to give the command.
Rumors that the Apple, has been preparing a foldable phone for a long time, with many claiming it is quite late compared to its competitors. However, if it makes its debut in this field with such a special device, it is most likely to cover a lot of lost ground.
However, the registration of the patent does not presuppose its implementation, it simply protects an idea in case it becomes a practice, so the self-repairman could very well remain in the realm of imagination.
