Infinix has been releasing some exciting new technologies lately, the most recent being the GT 10 Pro smartphone. The company’s research and development team is clearly working hard, as they have now revealed a 3D Lighting Leather technology. This new tech, which will be featured on the back of a smartphone, combines colorful LED lights with translucent thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) leather.
As reported by GSMArena, Infinix has unveiled what it calls the industry’s first “highly translucent 3D lighting leather”. It has been crafted using 4 different layers, with an LED Light Guide Film (LFG) as the base. Next comes the lightproof paint topped by the fiberglass material. The layer which you’ll see on the outside consists of Translucent TPU leather.
According to the illustration Infinix provided to the outlet, the translucent nature of the layers allows the LEDs on the bottom layer to shine through the uppermost TPU leather layer. The translucent 3D lighting leather can be used for the same purpose as LED lights on smartphones— to display dynamic notifications and alerts for various apps. Notably, Infinix wants to pair this tech with sound effects, which seems like Nothing new (pun intended).
While details are limited, Infinix might program the LEDs to light up in a certain color when you receive a text message or to flash when you have a new notification. It could also be used to create custom visuals for different apps. This is something Nothing does with its glyph, however, we’ll admit Infinix’s approach is rather unique and futuristic.
The new tech is reported to debut with the Infinix Note 30 VIP Special Edition later this month but we don’t see an announcement on Infinix’s official channels.
