New trends in technology: Apple reveals patents for under-screen cameras and corner lighting

Apple has recently been granted 36 new patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, including eye-catching under-screen camera technology and innovative car lighting designs.

Apple’s latest patent shows an under-screen camera technology, which means that future iPhones may adopt a full-screen design without the need for bangs or screen openings. At the same time, this technology will not affect the normal operation of the Face ID facial recognition system. Apple did this by creating tiny sensor openings in the display and hiding them using a special pressure-sensitive adhesive, making them virtually unnoticeable during everyday use. This technology is not only suitable for visible light cameras, but is also compatible with other types of optical sensors, such as infrared cameras and lidar, demonstrating its broad application prospects. This innovation will bring users a more perfect full-screen experience.

In the field of automotive technology, Apple’s new patent shows an advanced car headlight system that belongs to Apple’s mysterious self-driving car project Project Titan. This new headlight system not only provides forward lighting, but also has a cornering auxiliary lighting function, which can provide additional side lighting when the vehicle turns or changes lanes to help the driver better observe the road conditions. Apple cleverly integrates the headlight and the cornering auxiliary light into the same light housing, and achieves joint projection of light through the lens. In addition, to further enhance the lighting effect of the headlight (such as in high-beam mode), the patent also allows the addition of additional light sources within the headlight housing. This patent demonstrates Apple's innovative capabilities in the field of automotive technology and adds more smart features to future self-driving cars.

According to the editor’s understanding, Apple’s latest patent once again demonstrates their strength in technological innovation. Under-screen camera technology and innovative car lighting design will not only bring new product forms to Apple, but will also promote technological progress in related industries.
