Apple's next generation bezel-less iPhone 8 is rumoured to sport a bold
new design and would feature an OLED display full of holes, a media
report said.
"The patent filed by Apple for 'Electronic devices
having displays with openings' describes a method by which various
components can be mounted behind perforations in a device screen that
are so small as to be imperceptible to the human eye. This arrangement
would allow engineers to design a smartphone or tablet with a true
edge-to-edge, or full-face display," appleinsider.com reported on
Wednesday.
The openings may be located in the active portion of the display.
The
display may be mounted in a housing associated with the electronic
device. An electronic component may be mounted in alignment with the one
or more openings in the display.
The electronic component may
be a structure that uses light such as a camera, a light sensor, a
light-based proximity sensor, a status indicator light, a light-based
touch sensor array, or a secondary display that has display pixels that
may be viewed through the openings.
Signals associated with the
electronic component may pass through the openings. The signals may
include acoustic signals, electromagnetic signals such as
radio-frequency electromagnetic signals, and light.
One or more
openings in the display may form a window through which a user of the
device may view an external object. Display pixels in the window region
may be used in forming a heads-up display.
The 2017 version of
Apple's iPhone is also rumoured to come in red and will retain the same
design as the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
Alongside its usual
4.7-inch and 5.5-inch smartphone offerings, the company will also unveil
a third model that will be priced at a higher side than iPhone 7 and
will sport a 5.1-inch or 5.2-inch OLED display with invisible home
button, all-glass housing, wireless charging, according to earlier
reports.
Samsung and LG, joined by Foxconn-owned Sharp by 2018, are said to be Apple's primary OLED suppliers.
