Apple's All-Seeing Screen

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-leave-this-on-by-accident dept.

Based on a recent patent we may be seeing a new kind of display coming from the Apple store in the near future, one that can capture images as well as display them. From the article: "The clever idea is to insert thousands of microscopic image sensors in-between the liquid crystal display cells in the screen. Each sensor captures its own small image, but software stitches these together to create a single, larger picture."

    Not true.

    The commercial also aired on December 15 at a small TV station in Twin Falls, Idaho. This was so it was eligible for the 1983 advertising awards.
