Kwimarike yangoku ephezulu, zombini iHuawei kunye ne-Samsung ziphehlelele iifowuni eziphezulu ezinezikrini ezisongayo.Nokuba yeyiphi na inkqubo yefowuni esongelayo yesikrini, oku kubonisa amandla okwenza umenzi.Njengomphathi wemveli kwintsimi yeefowuni eziphathwayo eziphezulu, i-Apple ikwabonise umdla omkhulu wokusonga iifowuni zesikrini.
Ngokweengxelo zeendaba zangaphandle, i-Apple esongelayo i-iPhone okanye i-iPad inokuqulatha i-casing eguquguqukayo ekhusela isikrini kunye ne-hardware yezixhobo eziphathwayo, ngelixa iphinda iphendule kwiimfuno ezingqongqo zokuvula nokuvalwa kweefowuni eziphathwayo.
Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, i-Ofisi yePatent yase-US kunye ne-Trademark Office yanika i-Apple ipatent entsha ebizwa ngokuba "Isigqubuthelo esisongekayo kunye nokuboniswa kwesixhobo sombane".Ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza libonisa indlela yokwenza i-smartphone enjalo ngomboniso oguquguqukayo kunye nokugqithisa.
Kuxwebhu lwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza, i-Apple ichaza ukusetyenziswa koqweqwe oluguquguqukayo lwekhava kunye nomgangatho oguqukayo wokubonisa kwisixhobo esinye, zombini zidityaniswe enye kwenye.Xa ifowuni isongiwe okanye ivuliwe, ukucwangciswa kwemigangatho emibini kunokuhamba phakathi kwezakhiwo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo.Umaleko wokugquma ugobe kwinto ebizwa ngokuba yi "foldable area".
Indawo egotywayo yomaleko wekhava inokudalwa kusetyenziswa izinto ezifana neglasi, i-metal oxide ceramics, okanye ezinye iiseramics.Kwezinye iimeko, umaleko we-inshorensi unokuqulatha umaleko wemathiriyeli yeceramic ukunika impembelelo okanye umkrwelo onganyangekiyo, kwaye umaleko wokubonisa unokuqulatha omnye umaleko wemathiriyeli.
Nangona kunjalo, eli ayiloxesha lokuqala uApple efaka isicelo selungelo elilodwa lomenzi wetekhnoloji enxulumene nescreen esongwayo.Ngaphambili, i-Ofisi ye-Patent yase-US kunye ne-Trademark Office ikhuphe umboniso we-Apple patent enesihloko esithi "Izixhobo ze-elektroniki ezineZiboniso eziFlexileyo kunye neeHinges", ezicebise uyilo lwesixhobo esiphathwayo esimele sibandakanye umboniso oguquguqukayo kwindlu esongelayo .
I-Apple iceba ukusika uluhlu lweegrooves ngaphakathi kweglasi, eya kunika iglasi iqondo eliphezulu lokuguquguquka.Le nkqubo ibizwa ngokuba yi-slitting emthini, kwaye ezi grooves zenziwe ngeepolymers ze-elastomeric kunye nesalathisi esifanayo se-refractive njengeglasi.Okanye ulwelo oluzaliswe, kwaye umboniso wonke uya kuba yinto eqhelekileyo.
Umxholo wepatent umi ngolu hlobo lulandelayo:
· Isixhobo sombane sinolwakhiwo olugotywayo oluneehenjisi, oluvumela isixhobo ukuba sisongelwe kwi-axis yaso.Isiboniso sinokudibana ne-axis egobayo.
· Umboniso unokuba nesakhiwo esinye okanye ngaphezulu, njengemijelo okanye iileya ezihambelanayo zokugquma.Umaleko wesigqubuthelo somboniso unokwenziwa ngeglasi okanye ezinye imathiriyeli ezibonakalayo.Igroove inokwenza isahlulo esiguquguqukayo kumaleko wokubonisa, ovumela iglasi okanye enye imathiriyeli ebonakalayo yomaleko wokubonisa ukuba igobe ijikeleze i-axis egoba.
· I-groove inokuzaliswa ngepolymer okanye ezinye izinto.Umaleko wokubonisa unokuba nenvulo ezaliswe ngolwelo, kwaye kuluhlu lokubonisa oluqulunqwe ngeglasi eguquguqukayo okanye isakhiwo se-polymer, i-groove ehambelanayo inokuzaliswa ngezinto ezinesalathisi esibonisa i-refractive ehambelana neglasi okanye isakhiwo se-polymer.
• Izithuba ezahluliweyo eziqinileyo zenqwelomoya zingenza iihenjisi.Umaleko oqinileyo weplani usenokuba ngumaleko weglasi okanye omnye umaleko ocacileyo kumboniso, okanye usenokuba ludonga lwendlu okanye enye inxalenye yesakhiwo sesixhobo sombane.Umaleko oguquguqukayo ogungxulwayo nomphezulu ochaseneyo womaleko oqinileyo weplani unokusetyenziselwa ukunweba umsantsa ukwenza ihenjisi.
Ngokwembono yamalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza, ukusonga ngoomatshini be-Apple ngokusebenzisa izinto ezithambileyo akukho nzima kakhulu, kodwa le ndlela ifuna ukwenziwa okuphezulu.
Imithombo yeendaba yaseTaiwan yathi iApple iza kumisela i-iPhone esongwayo ngokukhawuleza ngo-2021.
