Love to play computer games On October 24, it was reported that a patent of Apple had recently been exposed. According to the patent documents, Apple intended to drill several holes on the display screen of smart phones (possibly tablet computers) to place various sensors, such as front facing cameras and 3D structured light elements, so that there would be no fringe. This patent would probably be applied to future iPhones.

Apple will use a small drill bit to complete this work. There are four grooves around the drill bit. When it works, the screen will be cushioned and protected by other soft materials. The drill bit can cut a small round screen part on the screen. After taking it away, a hole will be left.

In fact, similar designs have been exposed by netizens before. Judging from the renderings provided by netizens, manufacturers may choose to make holes in the left, middle and right at the top of the mobile phone screen in the future. The author believes that the middle hole is more symmetrical, and of course, one hole can be made on both sides. Of course, no matter how the position of the round hole is arranged, this design is not beautiful. It is reported that this kind of mobile phones will appear next year.

Although this patent of Apple can remove the fringe, it still makes the screen incomplete. Samsung is exploring a better solution, putting a series of sensors such as front camera under the OLED screen panel, and they can work normally. If we can succeed, we will be close to a real full screen mobile phone.
