Apple’s patent registration for the use of micro OLED in the MacBook keyboard with a dynamic design


Apple Recently, he registered a new patent for the MacBook keyboard that dynamically and dynamically changes the appearance, performance and lighting characteristics of the keyboard, so it is said that the A key on the keyboard may suddenly become 9!

The patent was first spotted by Apple’s Patently website and shows a keyboard that has a flexible lighting system that can display any icon on it. Currently, Apple uses fixed letter and number keyboards for its MacBooks, which cannot be changed, however, some keys such as media playback, which have multiple uses, have several labels on them, but the idea is Changing the keyboard mode all at once with the new patent may be inappropriate for some users, at least in the initial experiences.

Displaying languages ​​and different modes on the keyboard dynamically

Essentially, the hardware described in the patent consists of switches with individual matrix keys that can be turned on or off using micro-LED or OLED components as needed. The end result of this patent is a design where the symbols seen on the keyboard can be constantly changed and this includes languages, symbols, letters, numbers, animations and other settings.

So the keyboard can be used for typing, and then switched to provide shortcut controls for video editing. As always, like other patent applications and patents published in the news, this news does not mean quick commercialization and manufacturing of such products in the near future, but this news shows that Apple is thinking and considering an innovative change in the keyboard hardware design. It’s your MacBooks.

As mentioned in the news, if Apple decides to build and implement this plan, it will probably use OLED or LED screens, and in this regard, Apple is probably considering changing the keyboard technology of its MacBooks. In the past days, there were news about the design of a laptop from Apple with a 20-inch folding screen and a keyboard on its sides, and maybe this patent is also related to this final Apple device.
