One new license da Apple shows how it would be possible eliminate the notch on the iPhone by means of a mobile screen, which would be moved when it was necessary to use the camera or Face ID. In other words, we would have the TrueDepth sensor and the selfie camera of cell phones Apple They can be used without a notch obstructing the device's screen, providing a full screen look without pop-ups and without the camera being hampered by the need to take photos through a display.

how would it work

The idea described by the new patent Apple is that a movable screen would function as a window that can be opened by a mechanism to reveal an optical component, such as sensors or cameras. The window region can be operated in both the open and closed states.

In the closed state, the mobile part of the screen overlaps the window region, acting as an extended screen display, without a notch obstructing this part of the cell phone. Apple. In the open state, the movable part of the screen is moved (or folded) into the window region, so that light for the optical component can pass through this region. In other words, the area would open up for the sensors and the cameras be able to scan faces or capture images. The movable display portion could be a rigid display layer that moves around a hinge. Or (more likely) it could be an integral part of a flexible display, such as a flap, that could be folded open to open the display window. Movable display arrangements and other mechanisms would allow the movable display portion to selectively cover and uncover the window region, driven by an electrically adjustable actuator.

Ultimately, the mobile screen mechanism described here to eliminate the notch is a patent registration, so it is not possible to guarantee that the Apple come to use it effectively. However, the notch has been heavily criticized since the X era (which we see in our featured image) and has already been abandoned by other brands, becoming a kind of particularity of Apple phones.

The iPhone has already been imagined without a notch in some concepts, like this one we posted in may. Despite everything, the impressions that the change may take time to reach cell phones Apple remain. Maybe the notch will disappear for good only there by iPhone 15In 2023.
