Apple awarded 3rd ‘Light Display’ patent in three months

Apple Online Store“The US Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series of 15 newly granted patents for Apple Inc. today,” Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple.

“The notables within this group include battery assembly and motion sensing management for the iPhone along with patents for Apple’s OS X Dashboard, AppleScript and Universal Dock,” Purcher reports. “Yet the one granted patent that was a standout today by far was one covering Apple’s work on a new ‘Light Display.'”

Purcher reports, “The patent reveals a new contemplated light-reflecting structure that would be built right into the bezel of a device like the iPad to better detect touch from a finger or new light-pen.”
