iPhone upgrade
Okay, so it will be a few more years before we can use it. But it’s almost certain that Apple is working on it. That’s good news. The patents have been noticed by Patently Apple, and they report that Apple is working on something called “Under-Display Fingerprint Sensing based on Off-Axis Angular Light.”
It states in the patent as follows: “A touch sensing device comprises a light-emitting layer covered with a transparent layer and configured to illuminate a surface that touches the transparent layer and to allow transmission of reflected light rays from the surface to underlying layers. to make. The underlying layers comprise an optical coupling layer, a collimator layer and a pixelated image sensor. The optical coupling layer bends the reflected light rays to create oblique light rays. The collimator layer includes a plurality of apertures to collimate the received light rays. The pixelated image sensor detects the collimated oblique rays of light.”
Touch ID
Life just got a whole lot easier with Touch ID. You can then, for example, unlock your iPhone with your fingerprint. And Apple knows this. There were previous patents that addressed this, but the fact that new ones are emerging tells us that this remains a key focus for the company.
