Motorola patents a self-repairing screen


The repair method amazes for its simplicity: the application of heat


  The breakage of the mobile screen is one of the most important headaches of smartphone users and is also one of the most frequent faults in the technical service departments of technology companies.

Motorola has patented a system that allows its screens to be repaired automatically. This new system works with heat and, for the moment, repairs, according to Motorola's plans, the screen partially.

This repair process is based on the operation of a polymer with shape memory, which already exists and was developed by the University of Rochester in the United States.

  The approach of the engineers of Motorola is to apply this material in the construction of protectors to protect the LCD or LED panels that have smartphones and tablets installed in the market.

With the application of heat, the polymer developed by the University of Rochester is able to recover its original shape through the application of thermal cycles. That is, applying sudden and very rapid temperature changes on it.

However, at the moment, they are only plans on paper registered in the United States Patent Office, although the self-repairing material is available to all companies so that it could soon reach the market.

The device with the name of Detector Madrid (DTM) is a new technology that brings prevention and safety to the home, with a simple portable device that hangs over the lintel of the door and, autonomously, detects the smoke of fires. "In France or the United Kingdom, the use of these home security devices is mandatory," says Roberto García, one of the creators of DTM, who also points out that, without a doubt, older people are the most at risk group.    It is a punctual, digital and intelligent system capable of discriminating the smoke of small particles such as that produced while cooking. For less than 70 euros and, in addition, ...
