Apple grants new patent for a ‘self-healing’, crack-resistant foldable display

Apple's most recent patent reveals a new foldable display that is crack-resistant. According to Gizmochina, the new patent number US-20230011092-A1 was granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office and bears. the patent. This could help with the fragility of foldable devices, which is a major issue.

The new technology's display has several layers, including a flexible substrate, a thin-film transistor layer, and a protective layer. The protective layer is designed to prevent forming cracks in the flexible substrate, which is the most vulnerable part of the display.

In addition, Apple has been granted a patent for a self-healing display. This technology is expected to allow the display to recover from minor scratches, a common issue with foldable devices. Despite the fact that many experts believe a folding iPhone is unlikely, there have been rumours about a possible foldable iPad. This would allow the tech giant to test and improve the technology before possibly introducing a foldable iPhone.
