apple patent hints at iphone with virtual buttons above the display - infrared touch screen panel
Apple was granted a patent by the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office on Tuesday (USPTO)
Show Design brings more
Touch Display technology beyond the screen.
Like 3D Touch, the technology offers new input options, but measures the presence and pressure in the opposite directioni. e.
Above the display.
"Using one or more proximity sensors in multiple sensors combined with one or more touch sensors
Disclosed touch screens for detecting the presence of fingers, body parts, or other objects and controlling or triggering one or more functions based on the touch "image" provided by the sensor output, "The patent title is" close and multi
Detection and debugging of touch sensors.
This technology will allow the user to "press" the Air virtual button without touching the screen to access the content or activate different functions.
This technology works in conjunction with the infrared proximity sensor to provide a complete "image" of the touch input by providing hover gesture detection ".
The patent also mentions infrared LEDs and photodiodes.
In Apple's design, the photodiodes will capture the resulting LED lights that bounce off the user's fingers and give the output accordingly.
With the help of multiple sensors, the system can also detect the user's fingers when hovering over the display.
Although Apple has obtained the patent, it may take a long time for the final product to reach consumers.
As with all patents, it is not necessary for the patented company to use the technology in the actual production equipment.
So while we may never see Apple bring Virtual more
For future iPhones, we know at least what technology the company is exploring.
Two patents announced last month
Self Healing
Maintenance Technology, as well as dual rear camera settings in future iPhone models.
In today's connected world, digital communication is no longer limited to indoor environments. From retail storefronts and transportation hubs to smart cities and hospitality venues, businesses are increasingly relying on outdoor digital displays to engage audiences, deliver real-time information, and strengthen brand visibility.
However, outdoor environments present unique challenges that conventional displays simply cannot withstand. Rain, dust, humidity, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight can significantly reduce performance and lifespan.
This is where IP66-rated outdoor digital displays make the difference.
Education has undergone a significant transformation over the last decade. Traditional teaching methods that relied solely on blackboards, projectors, and paper materials are rapidly being replaced by interactive, technology-driven learning environments.
Schools, universities, training centers, and educational institutions worldwide are investing in smart classroom solutions that improve engagement, collaboration, and learning outcomes. Among these innovations, the Digital Podium has emerged as one of the most important pieces of classroom technology.
A Digital Podium is no longer simply a lectern for holding notes. It has evolved into a powerful teaching workstation that integrates computing, touch interaction, multimedia control, device management, and classroom collaboration into a single platform.
As hybrid learning, distance education, and smart campus initiatives continue to expand, digital podiums are becoming an essential component of modern educational infrastructure.
In today’s fast-moving business environment, traditional posters and static displays are no longer enough to capture customer attention. Businesses are increasingly turning to indoor digital signage displays to improve communication, promote products, and create more engaging customer experiences.
From retail stores and shopping malls to corporate offices, restaurants, schools, hotels, and healthcare facilities, indoor digital signage has become an essential solution for delivering dynamic content in real time.
At ITATOUCH, we provide high-brightness indoor digital signage displays with customizable hardware and software options, helping partners and businesses create tailored digital communication solutions.
Introduction: Why Traditional Interactive Displays Are No Longer Enough
As smart classrooms and hybrid workplaces continue to evolve, many organizations are facing a common challenge: traditional interactive displays can no longer meet the growing demand for visual clarity, intelligent collaboration, and long-term performance.
In education, teachers need smoother writing experiences, better visibility in bright classrooms, and seamless hybrid teaching tools. In corporate environments, businesses require professional video conferencing, high-quality presentations, and reliable systems for efficient collaboration.
This is where the next generation of premium QLED interactive flat panels makes a significant difference.
With innovations such as QLED Local Dimming technology, 4K UHD display, AI camera systems, optical bonding, and flagship-level processing power, modern interactive flat panels are becoming more than just displays—they are transforming into complete smart collaboration hubs.
In today’s competitive retail environment, attracting customers starts before they even enter your store. A high brightness window display is one of the most effective tools for increasing foot traffic, promoting products, and enhancing brand visibility in shopping malls, retail stores, restaurants, beauty salons, banks, and commercial spaces.
Unlike standard screens that appear dim under strong ambient light, ultra high brightness window displays are specifically designed for storefront applications, delivering vivid visuals and clear advertising content even in direct sunlight.
ITA TOUCH operates a 20,000+ sqm smart manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, equipped with dedicated production lines for interactive displays and digital signage.
We welcome factory visits, online inspections, and OEM audits.
