Motorola mobile company is working on a feature for its future smartphones which, in all likeliness, will be a game changer in true sense for the industry.
According to a new found patent by Slashgear website, Motorola is working on a display glass that will be able to heal itself.
The self-repairing screen is said to come covered with a polymer material. The patent explains that the 'memory' polymer material will remember its original shape and will restore itself if broken or cracked, in certain conditions. The handset software will recognize the crack in the display and will initiate a healing process.
Once the user approves the process, a set of hardware will then start heating up the screen, due to which the glass will let its molecules wiggle and restore the original shape.
Although the glass won't be healed completely, it will help in reversing some level of deformation.
Motorola is already known for its 'ShatterShield' display, which debuted with Moto X Force and was recently seen in the flagship Mot Z2 Force, which launched in the US. However, with this new technology, the handset maker may completely ditch the 'ShatterShield' technology.
On the note of 'displays', Motorola recently came in the news for the Moto Z2 Force's 'Jelly Like' scrolling effect, similar to what was found with the OnePlus 5 smartphone as well.
Members of XDA Developer website spotted the issue and have also posted a video on YouTube showing it in action on a Moto Z2 Force.
The website says that the 'Jelly Effect' issue started appearing on the Moto Z2 Force within 5 minutes of usage after its unboxing. The problem was spotted while scrolling though the app drawer and settings menu.
It was further mentioned that Moto Z2 Play refreshed the screen from bottom to top, indicating the inclusion of an inverted orientated screen.
Although there is no official word from Lenovo engineers, XDA says the display may have been oriented in the opposite manner to better arrange the phone's internals.
