A recently published patent and Trademark Office「Stylus with Display」Apple is thinking about the shape of the Apple Pencil, and the future Apple Pencil may help art creators "choose colors" more easily, according to the patent.

Patent details pageintroduceApple pencil will add a "flexible OLED display" between the pen tip and the body to indicate the color, so that when the user selects the color on the device, the pen tip area will display the corresponding indication color to remind the user. In addition, the apple pencil can further provide users with a function of manually selecting colors, which can then be displayed on the display screen of the stylus and transferred to an external device for use.

More interesting, the patent also explains the possibility of Apple Pencil adding "scan colors" to the tip of the pen in the future, meaning that Apple Pencil can be treated as a "color picker" and triggered by pressing on the screen.

Since the introduction of iPad pro, apple pencil has become the best partner, while the second generation of Apple pencil has solved some shortcomings of the previous generation of products and become more useful. If Apple really plans to apply this patent to actual products in the future, it is believed that it can help creative workers better complete their creations.
