Are you tired of people peeking over your shoulder while you use your iPhone? Apple may have a solution. Recent reports from Apple Insider suggest that the tech giant is looking into ways to improve iPhone screen privacy with innovative screen technology. According to the report, Apple has been granted two patents that shed light on their efforts to enhance privacy.
The first patent, “Privacy films for curved displays,” explores the possibility of adding a privacy film layer to the screen. This film acts as a polarizing filter, allowing light to emit in only one direction. Although similar film layers are already available on the market, they are limited in their effectiveness. The second patent, “Displays with adjustable angles of view,” proposes alterations to the viewing angle of the display. This would give users control over the screen polarization, directly integrating privacy features into the display itself.
These patents suggest that Apple is working on enhancing user privacy without compromising display quality. As technology continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these innovations shape the future of smartphone displays.
