The patent features a display with lasers underneath that acts as microphones able to capture the slightest of sounds. Being a patent technology on the side of Apple clearly indicates its ambition to utilize the technology in the near future.

Apple Flexible Screen Display Features

The most interesting feature of the new Apple screen is the fact that it has tiny placing of actuators underneath it that allows the screen to rise up and bend into physical buttons. This is perfect for activities such as composing emails and dialing numbers. This technology seems to trace back to the older physical keys mobile while maintaining a totally flat and bent screen.

It was the touch screen that disrupted and revolutionized the cellular landscape but now, it seems the highly flexible display is ready to take over. If the OLED flexible display materializes into reality, then it will provide brighter and more vivid colors with lower power consumption as compared to the LCD displays.

Greater durability is another major benefit with this new technology. There’s no actual telling when the technology will be a full reality but when it does it is sure to make the world of Smartphone’s even more exciting and intriguing depending on designs.

This technology could allow for a future iPhone, iPad, iPod that can be fold into a wrist watch. A tactile keyboard is part of the new flexible keyboard that will be able to provide a good resistance to each press of the fingers. The display will also feature a surround sound system to add to its enormous features with each integrated speaker able to work individually.

The new flexible keyboard from apple will have in built mics able to capture the slightest of sounds. The biggest advantage of this flexible technology lies on the fact that devices will be unbreakable thus requiring very few service sessions with every serious fall. The price of a bendable iPhone could significantly increase as compared to the normal Smartphone’s since the materials used to produce them are still quite expensive.

The flexible display screens in Apple will essentially lead to a reduction in the number holes ports and other breaks in the external casing.
