Description

Technical Field

[0001] Screen protectors for electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, TV screens, and any device having a visual display are well known in the electronics industry.

Background Art

[0002] Typically, screen protectors provide scratch resistance to glass or glass-like screens and may have a gloss, matte, or textured finish. Further, screen protectors are known for making it difficult to view information "over the shoulder" of a user of a smart device by a third party, such as restricting the view from the front of the electronic device.

Summary of the Invention

[0003] This specification will be more fully understood when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of various examples of personalization of smart device screens. This specification is not intended to limit the personalization and variables of smart device screens to specific examples. Rather, the specific examples shown and described are provided to explain and understand the personalization and variables of smart device screens. Throughout this specification, the drawings may be referred to as drawings, figures, and / or FIGS.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0005] The smart device screen personalization disclosed herein will be better understood by examining the embodiments for carrying out the invention below in conjunction with the drawings. The embodiments and drawings merely provide examples of various embodiments of smart device screen personalization. Many variations are contemplated for different applications and design considerations. However, for the sake of brevity and clarity, not all contemplated variations in the embodiments for carrying out the invention below may be described individually. Those skilled in the art will understand how the disclosed embodiments may be changed, modified, and altered without substantially departing from the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0006] Conventional screen protectors can be made from thin films commonly prepared from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Furthermore, screen protectors can be made from more rigid materials such as tempered glass or hard plastic. Generally, screen protectors are applied to the visual display screens of electronic devices to protect glass or glass-like displays from scratching, shattering, and / or breakage. Screen protectors can also be applied to reduce glare and / or reduce the angle from which a bystander can view information on the display screen.

[0007] Screen protectors lack the ability to personalize the display area of ​​an electronic device when the device is turned off or powered down. Numerous products and methods exist for decorating the back (the side opposite the display screen) of smartphones, tablets, and similar devices. Furthermore, many people utilize smartphone cases (and tablet cases) that can provide personalization to the back of their devices. These devices do not provide personalization to the screen of the electronic device, as they obscure the visual display when the device is lit.

[0008] The implementation of devices, methods, and systems for personalizing screen protectors or the surface of electronic screens can address some or all of the aforementioned problems.

[0009] Examples of screen protector personalization may include devices, methods, and systems that apply images, designs, logos, colors, or other screen features to the screen protector or display screen of an electronic device using screen printing and / or physical vapor deposition.

[0010] An embodiment of screen printing may be configured to apply screen features to a screen protector or display screen at a limited dot per square inch (DPI), allowing the user to see the screen features when the electronic device is turned off, but preventing the screen features from being visible when the electronic device is turned off. The brightness of an electronic display, generally a liquid crystal display (LCD), makes low-DPI screen features invisible when the electronic display is lit.

[0011] Examples of physical vapor deposition (PVD) can be configured to apply a nanometer-thin layer to a screen protector or display screen, which allows the user to view screen features when the electronic device is turned off, but makes the screen features invisible when the LCD (or other display system) is turned on.

[0012] Figure 1 shows a powered-off (or powered-down or unlit) smart device 100 having a screen feature 110 according to one embodiment. The smart device 100 shown in Figure 1 is a smartphone having a display screen 120 that encompasses most of the display side 130 of the smart device 100. Modern smartphones have display screens that encompass more than 90%, often more than 95%, of the display side 130 of the smart device 100. The screen feature 110 shown in Figure 1 is a stylized logo using the letters "LC" inside a circle. The screen feature 110 may be any logo, word, shape, image, design, or feature chosen by the user to personalize the display screen 120 of the smart device 100.

[0013] The embodiment includes a smart device having an electronic display screen, the smart device further comprising a screen protector configured to be applied to the electronic display screen. The screen protector is configured to receive a screen feature. The screen feature is selected by the user and is selected from a group including words, images, shapes, patterns, colors, designs, or logos. Furthermore, the screen feature is visible when the electronic display is powered off and invisible when the electronic display is powered on. More specifically, the screen feature is visible when the electronic display is powered off via reflection and / or absorption of ambient light from the screen feature that enables the user to see the screen feature, and the screen feature is invisible when the electronic display is powered on via the brightness of light emitted from the display screen that obscures the screen feature from the user's vision. The screen feature is visible when the electronic display is powered off or in sleep mode via reflection of ambient light from the screen feature that enables the screen feature to be visible to the user, and the screen feature is invisible when the electronic display is powered on via the brightness of light emitted from the display screen that obscures the screen feature from the user's vision.

[0014] Screen protectors are generally prepared from transparent materials that can be selected from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Furthermore, screen protectors may be prepared from more rigid materials such as tempered glass or rigid plastic. The material used for the screen protector should be rigidly flexible to protect the display screen. Furthermore, the material used should be printable or depositable. The material may be configured to accept printing and / or the material may be configured to accept deposition. Furthermore, the screen protector is prepared and / or treated with an adhesive coating for applying the screen protector to the display screen. Examples include tempered glass or rigid plastic screen protectors with a thickness of 0.06 mm to 1 mm, and plastic film screen protector substrates with a thickness of 0.05 mm to 2 mm.

[0015] Figure 2 shows a powered-on (or illuminated) smart device 200 without visible screen features according to one embodiment. As shown in Figure 2, when the electronic display (typically an LCD display) is illuminated, the brightness of the electronic display makes the screen features invisible, allowing the user to view the display screen 220 without the screen features obstructing the display screen. Low DPI in printing applications using screen printing, digital printing, flexographic printing, gravure printing, or lithographic printing allows the screen features 110 to be visible (as shown in Figure 1) when the electronic display is turned off, but invisible (as shown in Figure 2) when the electronic display is illuminated. In one embodiment, the screen features are applied in such a way that light from the electronic device is uniformly scattered and emitted through the graphics due to metallic particles, ink, or pigment, thereby allowing the viewer to see the image on the screen when the device is powered on and illuminated. When a device is powered off or in sleep mode, screen features remain visible due to the inherently dark background of the electronic device, as the black or dark background of the device allows the human eye to fill in the spaces between ink, pigment, or toner dots.

[0016] Screen protectors and / or screen embodiments may be prepared to provide privacy and / or security to the user. Screen features may be configured to reduce and / or eliminate the ability of a third party or bystander to view the display screen from a non-frontal angle. For example, a bystander attempting to view the display screen from an angle greater than 28, 45, and / or 60 degrees will only be able to view screen features (which may obscure the entire display screen or a portion of it), thereby preventing a bystander from viewing the display screen when the device is powered on, or from seeing only the image or text of the screen features. This can be used for the overall privacy of the user and security for highly confidential materials, or to show specific images, colors, artwork, or text to bystanders. Security is provided as the viewing angle of the display screen increases (0 degrees is the view directly in front of the display screen), as screen printing and / or physical vapor growth have a greater opportunity to block light from the display screen. When the viewing angle exceeds a set range, such as 28 or 30 degrees, the display screen becomes opaque, making only the screen features visible, thereby blocking the viewer from seeing the display.

[0017] In embodiments where the screen feature is applied to a screen protector at 200-600 DPI, the screen feature can provide privacy protection to the user by blocking viewers from non-frontal angles of the display screen. In embodiments where the non-frontal angle exceeds 28 degrees and the DPI is 200-600, the screen feature allows light from the display screen to be visible to a user from the front, making the screen feature invisible to the user and opaque to viewers from non-frontal angles.

[0018] Figure 3 shows a smart device 300 having a screen feature 310 that encompasses the entire display screen 320, according to one embodiment. The screen feature 310 shown in Figure 3 is a color such as gold, silver, red, blue, green, or other selected color that is visible across the entire display screen 320. Filling the entire area of ​​the screen protector with a pure metal, alloy, nitride, oxide, or carbide allows the user to see themselves within the screen protector. By filling the entire area with a color such as silver, red, green, blue, or other colors via a PVD or similar vacuum electroplating process, a mirror finish is achieved, allowing the user to see themselves within the screen protector and electronic device. This mirror effect is beneficial for separate cosmetic use to ensure that an individual's appearance matches their expectations. The smart device 300 shown in Figure 3 has a display screen that extends to the edges of the display screen 320, and therefore the screen feature appears to cover the entire display side 330 of the smart device 300.

[0019] Figure 4 shows a block chart 400 describing the steps for screen printing screen features onto a screen protector according to one embodiment. In step 401, screen features are selected by the user. In step 402, screen features are mapped by a software application that converts screen features into a design to be applied to the screen protector. In step 403, the design is applied to the screen protector (or directly to the display screen) at DPIs of 200-600 DPI, 300-500 DPI, and / or 400-450 DPI. Embodiments may include 420 DPI for screen features. In embodiments, screen features are applied to the screen protector at 420 DPI. Screen features are printed or applied onto the screen protector using techniques commonly used for printing on clear and / or opaque plastic films. Printing materials may be selected from inks, metals (or metal particles), pigments, UV inks, dyes, aqueous solvents, eco-solvents, toners, printing pastes, thermochromic inks, or photochromic inks. In step 404, the screen protector is dried or cured (set) via the prior art, thereby enabling the screen features to be permanently incorporated onto the screen protector. In step 405, the screen protector is applied to the display screen of the electronic device.

[0020] The screen features can be applied to the side of the screen protector that is applied to the display screen, or to the side of the screen protector that is opposite the display screen and facing the user. In this embodiment, the screen features are located on the side of the screen protector that is engaged with the display screen. This avoids deterioration of the screen printing application from general wear and / or touch contact by the user of the smart device.

[0021] The embodiment includes a method and system for applying screen features to a screen protector, the screen protector being configured to be applied to an electronic display screen. The screen features are applied to the screen protector via the steps of: a user selecting the screen features; mapping the screen features via a software application to convert them into a design to be applied to the screen protector; applying the design to the screen protector; drying the applied design to permanently incorporate the screen features onto the screen protector; and applying the screen protector to the electronic display screen of an electronic device. The screen features are visible when the electronic display screen is powered off and are not visible when the electronic display screen is powered on.

[0022] FIG. 5 shows a block chart 500 describing steps for physical vapor growth of screen features onto a screen protector according to an embodiment. In step 501, the screen feature is selected by a user. In step 502, the screen feature is mapped by a software application that converts the screen feature into a design to be applied to the screen protector. In step 503, the screen feature is applied to the screen protector (or directly to the display screen) with a thickness between 0.001 micron and 600 microns, preferably between 0.001 micron and 400 microns, most preferably between 0.001 micron and 200 microns. Embodiments may include a thickness between 0.001 micron and 400 microns for the screen feature. In physical vapor growth, the screen feature is applied to the screen protector using techniques commonly used for physical vapor growth onto transparent and / or opaque plastic films. The physical vapor growth process may also be achieved by electrolysis or sputtering of metal components onto a substrate. The material applied to the screen protector may be selected from pure metals, elements, alloys, or compounds such as oxides or nitrides, pigments. In an embodiment, the screen protector (or substrate) is treated with a chemical or electrically conductive thin film of the pattern / shape / design of the screen feature and can attract a metal material during physical vapor growth (or sputtering / electrolysis / electroplating process). In step 504, the screen protector is dried via conventional techniques, thereby enabling the screen feature to be permanently incorporated onto the screen protector. In step 505, the screen protector is applied to the display screen of an electronic device. Embodiments of physical vapor growth may be performed at a temperature in the range of 70°C to 600°C, preferably 70°C to 400°C, most preferably a temperature of 250°C. Equipment for physical vapor growth includes inline sputtering systems, batch sputtering equipment, roll-to-roll vacuum coating equipment.

[0023] The display screen can be the display screen of a smart device such as a smartphone, smartwatch, smart thermostat, or tablet. Alternatively, the display screen can be a TV or monitor used for display purposes in a retail environment or for home decoration purposes. An example can be applied to a display screen for a digital register at a checkout in a retail environment. The display screen can be any digital screen that can be turned off and has a high brightness such that when lit, it makes the screen features unviewable.

[0024] Figure 6 shows a screen print at 420 DPI according to an embodiment. When the bright light of a display screen 620 such as an LCD or OLED screen is lit, the human eye cannot visually recognize and / or distinguish printing at that spacing level or approximately that spacing level, so DPI is important for the user's ability to view screen features 610 on the display screen 620. When the screen is powered on, the user's eye focuses on the light emitted from the electronic device, and the light is projected onto the user's retina, thereby providing the user with the ability to view the electronic device screen without hindrance but without the ability to view the screen features. The DPI spacing can be determined using silk screen, printing rollers, printing plates, or computer programming for digital printing to specify the DPI. The human eye can only perceive DPI of 170 DPI or less. Thus, at DPI in the range of 200 DPI to 600 DPI, humans view the image of the screen features as a complete image or graphic rather than an array of dots when the screen is in the powered-off state. In the powered-off state of the device, a black or dark screen allows the screen features to appear more clearly due to the solid and dark background. The DPI range of 200 - 600 DPI allows the brightness of the electronic device screen to penetrate for the visibility of the device image on the screen, but more dots per square inch (DPI) causes the screen features to appear visible while the screen is powered on.

[0025] Figure 7 shows physical vapor deposition on a screen or screen protector according to one embodiment. The shown embodiment shows multilayer coatings (710a and 710b) with a coating thickness of 150 μm (microns). The coating layers can be 0.001 to 600 microns, 0.001 to 200 microns, and can be single, double, triple, or more layers. The substrate 750 may be a screen protector or a display screen. The lamination of particles by physical vapor deposition creates a layer of thickness that allows bright light from a display screen 720 (not shown) to shine through screen features 710a and 710b. Different thickness levels may be used. The greater the thickness of the physical vapor deposition, the less light can penetrate from the display device. At a certain level, ambient light (not light from the device) is reflected and / or absorbed by the particles applied by physical vapor deposition, showing screen features 710a and 710b applied to the display screen 720.

[0026] In one example, a sputtering process may involve the deposition of one or more materials as a dense layer using magnetron sputtering. The sputtering process may involve introducing an inert gas into a vacuum chamber. The sputtering process may involve accelerating the gas using a high voltage applied between the target and the substrate in the presence of a magnetron. This causes the emission of atomic particles from the target, which then collide with gas ions to randomly form a solid thin film on the screen protector substrate. In another example, electron beam deposition and / or other PVD variations may involve a physical process in which the target material is heated to a high vapor pressure by colliding the target material with an electronic device in a high vacuum. The emitted particles are accelerated by creating a plasma with gas molecules inserted into a reactor, thereby depositing a compressed layer on the substrate. For PVD or vacuum electroplating, the particles may be deposited randomly on the screen protector but are evenly spaced and stacked to allow light from the electronic device to pass through.

[0027] The embodiments include a system and method for applying screen features to an electronic display screen, which includes a user selecting a screen feature, mapping the screen feature via a software application to convert it into a design to be applied to the electronic display screen, applying the design to the electronic display screen, and drying the applied design to permanently incorporate the screen feature onto the electronic display screen. The screen feature is visible when the electronic display screen is powered off and invisible when the electronic display screen is powered on.

[0028] Screen features can be in the form of words, logos, shapes, designs, colors, text, symbols, patterns, or other features chosen by the user. Screen features can be highly recognizable logos, such as brands like Chanel, Nike, or Louis Vuitton, or logos of sports teams, such as the New York Yankees logo (combined NY and Y), the Miami Dolphins animal logo (dolphin), or the Tampa Bay Lightning blue lightning bolt. Screen features can be positive images formed by screen printing or physical vapor deposition, or they can be negative spaces framed by screen printing or vapor deposition. Multiple colors may be used in screen features in the embodiments. The difference between screen printing and physical vapor deposition is that screen printing depends on the text, shapes, or graphics and negative space embedded to depict the screen feature, while physical vapor deposition can cover the entire surface of the screen protector (or screen display). Furthermore, the density or depth of the color of the screen feature when physical vapor deposition is used can be improved by increasing the thickness of the deposition. The thickness is limited to approximately 600 microns because a thicker layer of metal would begin to obstruct the visibility of the display when lit, and could cause a disconnection with the touch screen. Variations in color and thickness are anticipated in this invention.

[0029] Examples include screen features, including sports logos and apparel trademarks. Furthermore, screen features can be visible in the positive space applied to the electronic display screen, or in the negative space created by the screen features on the electronic display screen.

[0030] Examples of screen features, specifically those applied via physical vapor deposition, can cover more than 80%, more than 90%, more than 95%, and about 100% of the screen protector or electronic display screen. These examples can be solid colors such as metallic silver or metallic gray, allowing the display screen to act as a mirror when the electronic device is powered off, enabling the user to see their own reflection.
