According to Wei Feng Network reported, now the electronic equipment has been very popular, mobile phone, tablet, personal computer, watches, glasses and headset etc.. The common point of these electronic devices is that each generation update will add more new features, thus increasing the number of devices in the circuit, the available space is less and less.

Some electronic devices use glass or other hard, transparent elements to protect the screen. The main purpose of this kind of cover glass is to protect the screen, but from the point of view of the electronic equipment circuit can maximize the space, the existence of this kind of glass is a waste of space.

And electronic equipment to protect the screen, usually used sapphire or other hard ceramic materials. Because of the hardness of the material, cutting, grinding and polishing caused a lot of difficulties. In order to make further use of these spaces, apple came up with a way to improve the material and embed electronic components inside it. This is the United States Patent and Trademark Office recently announced an apple patent.

Apple says the new screen structure will make the device thinner. For example, after the sapphire embedded electronic components, it can become part of the shell of the device; and because the sapphire is transparent, it is also a screen cover glass.

A similar patent last year, Apple also get the sapphire and the liquid metal fused together, the simple point that makes iPhone such equipment with a sapphire screen, while the body material is liquid metal, the liquid metal and the sapphire screen meet, to create the ultimate iPhone.
