THIS REPORT’S METHODOLOGY
To reveal the main features of the Apple iPhone X’s proximity sensor and flood illuminator, Knowmade has analyzed the patent portfolios
of STMicroelectronics, Lumentum, and Philips. For each player, Knowmade has performed:
• A selection of relevant and related patents
• A global IP analysis in order to understand each player’s IP strategy and position
• A deep analysis of patents related to the Apple iPhone X product
Patent-to-product methodology
Knowmade © 2018
THIS REPORT’S MAIN ASSETS
• Identify the IP players involved in manufacturing the Apple iPhone X’s proximity sensor and flood illuminator
• Understand these players’ strategy and position in the IP landscape
From STMicroelectronics’ patent portfolio to Lumentum’s VCSEL-focused portfolio, more than 500 inventions related to ToF sensors
and VCSEL have been identified. A global IP analysis allows us to understand the position of each player by positioning their patents
within their IP competitive landscape and highlighting their actual IP dynamic regarding patent publication and geographic
coverage.
• Analyzing IP players’ product-related patents
This report provides an understanding of the key features asserted by the patents of STMicroelectronics, Lumentum, and Philips.
Each patent related to the Apple iPhone X’s sensor is detailed. Main characteristics and their impact on the manufacturing process,
device performance, cost, etc. are highlighted too.
