Frequently Asked Questions About TekkEffects Screen Protectors
What is a TekkEffects Graphic Screen Protector?
A TekkEffects Graphic Screen Protector combines premium tempered glass screen protection with patented hidden graphic technology. The graphic is visible when your phone screen is off and becomes nearly invisible when the display is on, allowing you to personalize your phone without sacrificing normal screen use.
The underlying patented technology covers screen features including images, words, shapes, patterns, colors, designs, and logos that can be visible when an electronic display is powered off and hidden when the display is powered on.
How does the TekkEffects Graphic Screen Protector work?
TekkEffects uses patented passive optical technology to create a graphic that interacts differently with ambient light and the light produced by your phone's display.
When the screen is off, ambient light allows you to see the graphic. When the screen turns on, light from the display visually overpowers the graphic so you can see and use your screen normally.
No battery, electronics, LEDs, or software are required.
Is TekkEffects patented?
Yes. The technology behind TekkEffects Graphic Screen Protectors is protected by U.S. Patent No. 11,947,386, titled Electronic Device Screen Personalization. The patent describes technology for creating screen features that are visible when an electronic display is powered off and invisible when the display is powered on.
Does a TekkEffects screen protector affect screen clarity?
TekkEffects Graphic Screen Protectors are designed so that the graphic becomes nearly invisible when the phone display is illuminated, allowing the user to see the underlying display during normal use.
Does a TekkEffects screen protector affect touchscreen sensitivity?
The patented technology is specifically designed to allow the electronic display to remain usable while the screen is powered on. TekkEffects Graphic Screen Protectors are designed for normal touchscreen operation while adding the hidden graphic effect.
Does TekkEffects require power or drain my phone's battery?
No. TekkEffects' hidden graphic technology is passive. It does not require an app, Bluetooth connection, LEDs, electronics, or power from your phone.
The graphic is physically incorporated into the screen protector and becomes visible when the display is off.
Is TekkEffects an alternative to Always-On Display personalization?
If you primarily use an Always-On Display to give your phone personality while it isn't actively being used, TekkEffects offers a passive alternative. The graphic remains visible when the display is off without requiring the screen itself to remain illuminated.
How do I install a TekkEffects screen protector without bubbles?
Start with a thoroughly cleaned, dust-free phone screen. Hold the TekkEffects screen protector by its edges and align the top edge first. Once you're satisfied with the alignment, allow the protector to contact the screen and gently swipe down the center.
This encourages the adhesive to spread outward and gives trapped air a path toward the edges.
Does TekkEffects use an installation tray?
TekkEffects favors a straightforward installation process rather than relying on an elaborate installation tray. Keeping the process simple reduces unnecessary installation steps and minimizes the amount of time the cleaned phone screen remains exposed to airborne dust before the protector is applied.
Is TekkEffects just a decorative film?
No. TekkEffects is a screen protector with patented graphic functionality—not simply a decorative sticker placed over your phone.
The patented technology specifically contemplates protective screen substrates including tempered glass, along with a screen feature that can be visible when the display is off and hidden when it is on.
What makes TekkEffects different from a regular tempered glass screen protector?
Traditional tempered glass screen protectors are designed primarily to protect the phone's display.
TekkEffects adds another function: personalization.
Instead of covering your expensive smartphone with another completely plain piece of glass, TekkEffects allows the front of your phone to display artwork when the screen is off while maintaining normal display functionality when the screen turns on.
Visible when the screen is OFF. Nearly invisible when the screen is ON.
What TekkEffects designs are available?
TekkEffects currently offers its American Flag Graphic Screen Protector for compatible iPhone models, allowing customers to display a patriotic American flag design when their phone screen is off.
Additional graphic possibilities can include artwork, patterns, logos, colors, branding, and other designs using the patented technology.
