Patent reveals Apple working on iPhone display with variable refresh rates
A new
Apple patent released by the US Patent and Trademark Office has revealed that
the company is working on an iPhone display that can update the content at up to 240Hz which is four times
the native refresh rate.
With the
upcoming display, an ?iPhone? with a 60Hz display would be able to increase its
variable refresh rate to 120Hz, 180Hz, or 240Hz automatically, reports Patently
Apple.
This
technology exists on the iPad Pro lineup, but only switches from 60Hz to 120Hz,
depending on the content shown.
"Refresh
rate refers to how many times a display refreshes every second. The higher the
refresh rate, the smoother the content on the display will be. Currently, all
iPhones have a refresh rate of 60Hz," the report said on Tuesday.
The
patent also said that the technology can be extended to other devices such as
the iPad and Apple Watch in the future. Read More
