Transparent iPhone 6 Could be Real
We should say that we are not that surprised with the news we are about to share with you.
It looks like it’s a sure thing the fact that you’ll be able to enjoy new transparent glass designed smartphones this year.
Now, maybe you’re curious who’s behind this new project so before starting to talk about the new transparent phones you should know that the credits go to the Taiwan company – the Polytron Technologies. As we speak, the Taiwan-based firm is working on the final details of the future glass devices for at least two handset manufacturers. And we are pretty sure, that Apple is one of them.
If you didn’t know, the Polytron Technologies is a giant manufacturer of optical vision glass and electronic which incorporates an American branch company- the Polytronix, Inc. The branch company ensures the Taiwan activity with patented product Polyvision Privacy Glass. Moreover, Polytron has another subsidiary firm – the polytron Technologies (Xiamen) Co which resides in China Xiamen in order to help the Chinese users.
The similarities with the Apple Inc. are pretty obvious considering that Apple is an American giant tech firm that manufactures its products in China and made its research capacities in Taiwan.
Besides Apple, Samsung is another supposed contender in this new glass phone project. The Samsung company, which drew users attention during this year CES with its Youm flexible OLED screen, was spotted in pictures related to the transparent prototype glass smartphone where the logo could be seen in the background.
As far as we know, besides these two tech giants – Samsung Electronics and Apple Inc, there are some other rumoured companies that seem to be interested in the transparent glass technology offered by Polytron. So, we could see the new glass technology on smartphones and different products from Fujitsu and LG as well.
According to Polytron’s General Manager – Sam Yu, the new transparent or half-transparent glass smartphones will be available until the end of this year. And we might say these is an awesome news.
For sure you’ll be asking how these transparent devices will hide the not so pretty components of the smartphone such as the antennas, the batteries, the works and the circuitry. The answer is simple, all of those will still be hidden for the moment. Polytron is planning to use its glass technology only for a part of the phone, the rest of it will remain covered by the smartphone case.
Anyway, the plan is to have some of the opaque insides transparent as well, like for example the circuitry. We all know that nowadays almost invisible wiring can be reached, and according to Polytron its patented technology could be capable of mastering the glass to create a transparent result. This means a see-through smartphone could be possible.
Thinking of this new glass material we realized another great advantage that comes along with – the glass is way more lighter than the material used in the design of nowadays smartphones, so we expect to see a decrease in the shipping costs and a reduced weight. And, even though the interests are different, both handset manufactures and customers are pleased with these future changes.
