New Apple patent reveals thinner, brighter touchscreen technology
Another day, another Apple patent… perhaps one even describing technology that could perhaps be nebulously related to the much anticipated Apple Tablet coming later this month.
Today’s? A new Apple touch display patent spotted by the usual gang of scourers over at Patently Apple. The patent describes a thinner and brighter touchscreen display that works by combining both the touch and pixel displaying elements into the same hardware.
It’s possible we’ll see just such technology in the Tablet, although it’s worth noting that this technology could be used in pretty much any touchscreen device. It feels, right now, more conceptual than technology to be thrust into our hands later this month as an integral part of the Apple Tablet, but only time will tell.
