Apple's new patent leak: iPhone screen or add sapphire coating

Corelle, the famous glass screen maker, recently showed off their fifth generation gorilla glass, which may mean that we no longer need a iPhone with sapphire glass. However, Apple seems to find another solution. The United States Patent and Trademark Office recently released a new Apple patent filed, the patent and the sapphire material, but we are not familiar with the glass screen, but coating.

The new Apple patent, which is called the "Sapphire coating solution for electronic devices," describes a new technology for joining sapphire coatings on electronic devices. Specifically, the patent is the object of service is equipped with OLED screen electronic equipment. In a sense, the patent documents also confirmed the rumors that Apple will launch OLED iPhone. And we can also understand that the future of the patent map, Mac will be equipped with OLED screen.

Add sapphire coating on the screen, you can further increase the scratch resistance of iPhone and other equipment. If the patent becomes a reality, means that Apple needs a lot of sapphire material reserves, because of the huge shipments of iPhone on the global scale will make any vendor feel pressure. Now the biggest problem is that after the sapphire supplier GTAdvanced has gone bankrupt, which manufacturers will stand up for the supply of a large number of sapphire it?
