The idea of creating a flexible and curved devices gradually captures the minds of electronics manufacturers. These smartphones have already been presented by Samsung and LG, the latter allegedly already developing a second-generation device, which can be bent at 90 degrees.
Thus, the Bureau of registration of patents and trademarks acknowledged U.S. patent numbered 8,603,574 , describes the technology of sensor surfaces without defects occurring during deformation. In fact, the patent can be used in the production of touch panels with a characteristic curved shape, for example, smartphones or computer mouse.
Apple offers glue conductive thin film and flexible surface in a flat state, and then bend the resulting package at a certain thermal effect. The result should be curved - the technology allows the formation of a few bends on one surface - sensor free from defects characteristic of traditional technology, involving high-temperature annealing.
