U-Apple usanda kuthola i- i-patent lapho kukhonjiswa khona ikhibhodi ye-Mac enokhiye abalungisekayo. Kuze kube manje singacabanga ukuthi lokhu sekuvele kwasungulwa, kepha "umusa" walokho okusungulwayo ukuthi ukhiye ngamunye ufana nesikrini esincane lapho ungashintsha khona uhlamvu noma uphawu olukhonjiswa yi-software.
I-priori kubonakala kungumqondo omuhle. Okukodwa ikhibhodi yendawo yonke kuwo wonke amazwe nezilimi, futhi okulungisekayo kumageyimu noma ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ezifana nomculo. Inkinga kuphela engiyibonayo ukuthi uma ikhibhodi elula ye-iMac isivele ikubize ama-99 Euro, angifuni ngisho nokucabanga ukuthi lokho okuchazwe kwilungelo lobunikazi kungabiza malini.
I-Apple iphenya ukusetshenziswa kwamakhibhodi amancane izikrini kufakwe kukhiye ngamunye ongashintsha ngamandla isoftware incwadi noma uphawu olumele, njengoba kutholakele ekufayeleni kwelungelo lobunikazi elisanda kunikezwa inkampani yaseCupertino.
La i-patent ibizwa ngokuthi "Amadivayisi Anokhiye Bokubonisa" futhi yanikezwa Apple yi-United States Patent kanye ne-Trademark Office phakathi kwale nyanga.
Okhiye abanesikrini esincane ngaphakathi
I-patent ichaza ukuthi ukhiye ngamunye uzoba nesikrini esincane ngaphakathi.
Ifaka incazelo yokuthi okhiye bekhibhodi bangaba kanjani ne-'a ukubonisa kushumekwe kukhiye»Kuxhunywe« kumasekethe wokulawula ikhibhodi ». Ukhiye ngamunye uzoba "owenziwe nge-fiber optic plate ebhekene nendawo yokuqala neyesibili."
Izinkinobho zingenziwa ngezinto ezifana nengilazi, i-ceramic, i-metal, noma i-polymer, noma izinto zekristalu ezifana nesafire. Ubuchwepheshe I-OLED noma i-LCD kungasetshenziswa ezikrinini ezinjalo ezincane ngaphakathi kwezinkinobho.
Ukusetshenziswa okungenzeka kwekhibhodi enjalo kungaba amandla lungisa kabusha amakhibhodi ngamandla ukuze afake okokufaka kwezilimi ezahlukahlukene, ukuguqula ikhibhodi ejwayelekile ibe ikhibhodi yokudlala lapho okhiye bahambelana nezenzo ezithile kumdlalo, noma ngenye indlela ushintshe indlela yokuziphatha ehambisana nokucindezela okhiye kukhibhodi, njengamanothi womculo.
Izithombe ezifakwe ku-patent zibonisa ukuthi ikhibhodi eguquguqukayo ingasetshenziswa kanjani zombili kukhibhodi ye iyaphatheka ikhibhodi ehlukile yokusetshenziswa ku- iMacs. Sizobona ukuthi esikhathini esizayo umqondo "uyabamba" bese i-Apple ivula leyo khibhodi, noma ivele ibe ngumqondo onelungelo lobunikazi ngaphandle kokufinyelela ethekwini.
