Kusuka kokuphakathi okukhethekile Thinta kabili Sithola ulwazi mayelana nelungelo lobunikazi lwakamuva i-Apple elibhalise e-US Patent naseHhovisi Lohwebo nokuthi namuhla kushicilelwe: izibonisi ezintsha eziguquguqukayo eziguqukayo.
Leli patent elisha lembula umsebenzi kusukela lapho I-LuxVue, inkampani etholwe yi-Apple ngoMeyi 2014, iyenziwa kulezi amadivayisi aguquguqukayo lokho kungashintsha inkambo ye- imigqa emisha yokuklama kwemikhiqizo yezobuchwepheshe.
Ngemuva kokuthathwa kwenkampani I-LuxVue nge-Apple, labo baseCupertino banabo amalungelo obunikazi angama-21. Ukuguquguquka kwethulwe ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngemuva kwale nyunyana ngokugunyazwa yi umlingani wezimali uJohn Doerr, umsunguli kaKleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, okhulume ngale divayisi njengo 'intuthuko enkulu kwezobuchwepheshe ezikrinini".
Leli patent liyaqala izikrini eziguquguqukayo lokho kungasetshenziswa kumadivayisi afana namasongo, amasongo ne-Apple Watch, ngisho naku izindwangu zokugqoka ezijwayelekile. Ubuchwepheshe obenza ukuthuthukiswa nokusebenza kokuguquguquka kube ngokuya ngezikrini ze-micro-LED, lokho sekuvele kwaziwa ngohlelo lwazo lokusebenza esikhathini esizayo Amahedisethi e-VR.
Iyaguquguquka: ukusetshenziswa kwezikhangiso ze-micro-LED
Ngokusho kuka-Apple, lezi zikrini zingasetshenziswa ezintweni ezinhlobonhlobo zogesi ezifana izikrini zokugoqa nezikrini eziphathekayo. Ukuguquguquka okuhle kwezikrini eziguqukayo kungenxa ye- ipulasitiki noma ingilazi ezacile isetshenziselwe ukwakhiwa kwayo, okwakha i-substrate eguquguqukayo lapho i- ama-transistors wokushisa okuphansi.
Emfanekisweni 19 welungelo lobunikazi singabona iphakethe le-elekthronikhi kuhlanganiswe nesikibha. Kulokhu, kuyisiqeshana esingathungwa ngendwangu yendwangu engutsheni uqobo, kuyilapho ku-Amanani 20.A no-20B kubonakala kufakwa isongo noma isongo.
Ukuhleleka kungafaka indawo eguquguqukayo evumela okuhlukahlukene izinketho zokwenza ngokwezifiso yalezi zinsiza, ukuguqulwa kweziklamo nezikimu zombala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ingashintshelwa kokunye ukusetshenziswa, okufana ne- ezisongelayo nezinto zokupakisha, ngakho-ke ukusebenziseka kwayo kuzovulelwa inombolo enkulu yezicelo.
