Apple's new patent: the strap is made into a display

Curiosity Daily News Apple has prepared a variety of different straps for Apple Watch, and now Apple seems to want these straps to be smarter.

The US Patent and Trademark Office approved a patent for Apple called "woven display" on Thursday. In the patent document, Apple describes a composite fabric woven from light-transmitting fibers, opaque fibers, and illuminating elements. It is desirable to use this fabric to produce a special strap that can be used to display information.

This fabric sounds a bit like the smart fabric Project Jacquard launched at the Google I/O conference. Apple woven the light-transmissive fiber and the opaque fiber in a certain way and direction. For ductility and softness, a third fiber (such as nylon, glass, etc.) may be added.

Two fibers intertwined with two fibers intertwined

The light-transmitting fiber functions as a display screen, and the light- emitting element such as an LED is illuminated. The effect is also different due to the different weaving methods, and the whole fiber may be bright or partially covered by opaque fibers and intermittently. The ground shines.

Apple said in the document that the fabric can be made into a detachable strap that can be used to display information such as time, temperature, etc., and may be a battery reminder. The patent document also mentions a device with timing function that can be magnetically adsorbed. It seems that this patent is for the Apple Watch.

Maybe maybe for Apple Watch, maybe for Apple Watch.

In addition to working hard on the dial, smart watches are another way of thinking for smart watch manufacturers. In addition to embedding the chip on the strap, there is also a modular watch strap, but because there are chips on the strap, the waterproof and sweat-proof performance may be discounted.
