Apple imagina un iPhone flexible con una capa de «autocuración»
El primer teléfono plegable de Samsung encontró algunas dificultades en manos de quienes tuvieron la oportunidad de probarlo de antemano, principalmente con todo lo relacionado con su pantalla. En este sentido, Apple imagina un dispositivo plegable que tendría la capacidad de deshacerse de rayones y otros daños, al menos esto es lo que revela una solicitud de patente.
Según un informe de Patentemente Apple, la Oficina de Patentes y Marcas de Estados Unidos publicó una solicitud de la firma californiana que describe un equipo flexible que incluye una capa con propiedades autocurativas, que puede iniciarse o acelerarse mediante calor, luz, corriente eléctrica u otro tipo de estímulo externo.
Apple cree que, durante su funcionamiento, la capa de la cubierta de la pantalla podría rayarse o abollar, de ahí la necesidad de incluir una capa de material autocurativo.
El documento también indica que la cubierta de la pantalla tendría una capa de elastómero capaz de recuperar su forma, con el fin de mantener protegido el funcionamiento interno del dispositivo.
La solicitud de patente de Apple se presentó en enero de 2020. El documento no significa que la compañía vaya a lanzar un artilugio, como un móvil o una computadora, con una capa de autocuración.
Las empresas que se han aventurado en el segmento de los teléfonos plegables han prestado especial atención a la resistencia de sus unidades, especialmente en el área que les permite «doblarse».
Del mismo modo, LG ya ha explorado un teléfono con autocuración, con su G Flex 2013, que se «recuperó» de arañazos menores, pero no de arañazos causados por llaves, por ejemplo.
