What comprehensive screen designs are there at present?
1, Liu Hai Design (Apple)
2, single chin design (millet)
3, curved surface without borders, with forehead and chin (Samsung)
What are the key factors to make a full-screen mobile phone?
A mobile phone manufacturer needs the following points to make a real full-screen mobile phone:
(The following content takes Xiaomi and Apple as examples)
1, full screen body design
Because the front of the full screen is the screen, but there are many other things on the front, such as front camera, sensor, receiver, fingerprints and so on. Mobile phone manufacturers need to find a home for these essential components, otherwise they are not doing full-screen mobile phones, but screens.
Apple: The solution of iphone x is well known. We got a bangs and stuffed all the equipment into them. Fingerprint becomes face recognition.
Xiaomi: mix 2 is solved by micro-opening and chin, and then the fingerprint is placed on the back.
2. Find a suitable full-screen supplier.
After designing the fuselage, you need an adaptive screen. Most mobile phone manufacturers don't produce their own screens. Without a screen that can adapt to the fuselage design, you can't make a full-screen mobile phone.
Apple: iphone x asked Samsung to customize a special-shaped OLED screen, and then cut a bangs on a complete quadrangular ellipse (Apple is crazy about quadrangular ellipses).
Xiaomi: mix 2 found JDI (Japan Display Company) and customized a complete square LCD screen of 18: 9. The ratio of 18: 9 was originally created by Xiaomi and later used by Google.
3. The system adapts to full screen.
After the hardware problem is solved, the system needs to be adapted. This piece has little to do with the problem, so I won't say much.
Who first put forward the concept of full screen?
So who was the first mobile phone manufacturer to produce full-screen mobile phones and put forward the concept of full-screen mobile phones?
The answer is: sharp.
In 20 13, Mr. Masayoshi Miyata, the chief designer of Sharp, designed and developed the world's first full-screen mobile phone-EDGEST 302SH.
Who belongs to the technical patent of full screen?
Back to the problem of this article, there are: invention patent, utility model patent and design patent in China.
Invention patent: Article 2, paragraph 2 of China's Patent Law defines invention as: "Invention refers to a new technical scheme proposed for a product, method or its improvement.
Patent for utility model: The definition of utility model in the third paragraph of Article 2 of China's Patent Law is: "Utility model refers to a new technical scheme suitable for practical use for the shape, structure or combination of products."
Design patent: The definition of design in Article 2, paragraph 4 of China's Patent Law is: "Design refers to a new design that is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industrial application based on the shape, pattern or combination of color, shape and pattern of a product."
The question is about technology patents, so it should be about the first two. Let's take Xiaomi and Apple as examples to answer.
The overall design of Apple's iphone x phone belongs to Apple's patent, and the technical patent for producing that OLED screen belongs to Samsung. The design of cutting off bangs in full screen is Apple's patent.
The overall design of Xiaomi mix2 mobile phone belongs to Xiaomi's patent, while the technical patent for producing that LCD screen belongs to JDI, and the comprehensive screen design of mix with chin belongs to Xiaomi's patent.
Summary: Full screen is a design concept, which does not belong to any manufacturer, so it does not belong to any country. There are different forms of full-screen mobile phones, and whoever designs a new form of patent is that.
