Top Industry Leaders in the Wearable Display Device Materials Market
Wearable Display Device Materials Market
November 2023- Apple was recently granted two patents that could allow the company to develop technology that would make it difficult for snoopers to keep an eye on your iPhone or Mac. Novel screen technology could help protect information shown on display by limiting the viewing angles of the display — this could replace the multipurpose screen protectors utilized by smartphone users who attempt to achieve the same result. The company has explored two methods of implementing the privacy features in its products. Apple's recently granted patent (via Apple Insider) refers to the use of a 'privacy film' that would be applied on curved displays in order to protect the contents of the screen from people in the vicinity. The document describes the use of a film with a light-blocking layer with opaque and transparent sections that are "interposed between the first and second transparent substrates". As a result, a display equipped with the privacy film would only show the contents of the screen clearly to users sitting in front of the display while offering a distorted or blank view to other users who are trying to look at the screen. However, the contents of the screen will still be visible from certain angles, allowing people sitting behind the user to pry on their activity.
