Apple patent filing describes phone concept with wrap-around AMOLED display

Behold, the iPhone 6. Nah, we’re only joking — what you see above is a diagram lifted from an Apple patent application that popped up at the USPTO today, which describes a “consumer electronic product” that’s nothing but screen. The patent involves building a device from an open-ended transparent body (of glass, for example) that becomes a full wrap-around display when a flexible AMOLED screen is unfurled within it. It doesn’t imagine all that real-estate will necessarily be used at once, though, and includes details of a “detection mechanism,” such as a camera and facial recognition software, which would determine how much of the screen you can see, so that power is only sent to the parts that are in view. It’s important to note that, apart from mentioning some real-world applications, the concept and method of constructing a wrap-around display are all the application covers. In other words, this patent does not describe anything close to a complete device. Apologies if we’ve killed your buzz, but we’re just managing expectations before we move onto some interesting spitballing from Apple about what other design features such a device could carry — read on after the break for more.
