Oppo have recently filed a patent for a borderless screen technology. We could find on board the R7 spring. The effect is rather impressive.
To remove the borders around the screen. This is the challenge that many manufacturers are trying to meet for several years without ever fully achieve. Sharp is probably the most advanced and the result is already very impressive. Take Aquos Crystal. The smartphone disappears almost entirely to leave the user the feeling of holding a screen. Obviously, it is not the only one working on the subject. We could also include LG, but also to believe Oppo patent recovered by our colleagues GSMArena.
Glass that hides the screen borders
From what we can see in the document, the Chinese have found a solution to almost completely remove the borders or at least give the impression that they are not there. The principle is quite simple. The slab is nothing special. It may even have relatively wide borders. It’s actually in the glass that covers the “magic” operates. Wider than the slab, it has rounded ends that cover the borders and “attract” the light of the screen to hide.
Oppo’s solution is more clever than revolutionary. It does not allow reducing the dimensions of the chassis and we wonder still how the display appears through the rounded ends of the glass. Distortion is certainly inevitable. However, it was probably the advantage of being inexpensive. And besides, the result seems to be at the rendezvous.
Demonstration with R7
Some pictures of a supposedly smartphone equipped with this technology have been published on the Mobile-dad gate and the side edges are virtually invisible. The effect is stunning. Damage, however, that the high and low curbs soien t as wide.
He then said that he was equipped with a CPU MT6795 chipset with octa-core 64-bit 2.2 GHz GPU PowerVR G6200 and a 20.7 megapixel camera. The launch was announced later this spring.
