IT Home understands , The patent gives two direct examples , One of them shows that , The light sensor can display the image of the object touching the screen , This can be used for off screen imaging based on optical imaging system Touch
ID. Another is that you can use electrical signals from photodiodes or solar cells to sense color , Or detect the intensity of light coming into the display stack .
Most of the description of the patent focuses on the ambient light sensor . Even for ambient light sensors only , The system can also be used to narrow the future iPhone Bangs size of the model , At present, the light sensor is embedded in the bangs .
however , Given rumors that apple is seeking to minimize bangs , Or reintroduce it on mobile phones in the future Touch
