Apple's new patent shows that folding the iPhone can repair scratches and dents on the display by itself. What will happen when users use it?

In a new patent, Apple mentioned the "self-repairing function of foldable screen" and exhibited the corresponding model design, including display, hinge and feasibility. It is reported that Apple has applied for a number of patents related to folding screens, but no related projects are being promoted.

This patent mentions a display overlay that may have self-healing properties. This material can cover the entire display cover or only the flexible area of the display cover. Apple said in the patent: "During the operation of electronic equipment, the display cover of electronic equipment may be scratched or dented. In order to improve the aesthetic feeling of electronic equipment, it is best to minimize the existence of scratches and dents. To help reduce the number of dents, scratches or other defects in the display overlay, the display overlay may include a layer of self-repairing material. "

But there is no specific information about this function at present. With this function, users can use the mobile phone with more confidence, without worrying about scratches and dents on the screen of the mobile phone.
