According to reports, this patent is mainly used for electronic device screens, especially for mobile terminal screens, which can provide additional screen glass protection times, not just front screens, but also patents for backshell glass.
The principle is not too complicated. The protective layer can be designed as a crossover line with glass fiber, so as to strengthen the strength of the glass and prevent cracking. At the same time, artificial sapphire coating is used to increase the hardness of the shell, but the artificial sapphire is theoretically hard and wearable. , But it's more brittle and it's easy to break. So Apple's technology should be used to improve the wear resistance in the outermost layer.
Boldly speculating that it is possible that Apple intends to introduce artificial sapphire as a screen glass device, and this patent just solves the problem of artificial sapphire glass that is relatively brittle and can make the product more resistant to falls.
However, the cost of artificial sapphire is relatively high. Now we don't see the cost-effectiveness and practicality of Corning gorilla glass. Plus Apple has applied for many patents, but it has not used much. In terms of protective equipment, there are even patents such as air cushions, in fact, It is difficult to apply in the product.
