> diamond vapor-phase deposition
I've seen this repeated at a lot of places, but I'm quite sure this should be "diamond-like carbon" and not actual diamond deposition.
Even then, I could not see any source for this, besides one blog comment somewhere saying the screen coating "may even be" DLC. All articles on the topic made no mention of the composition. Where does this information come from?
Not that it matters a whole lot, but I find it annoying when people repeat technical information carelessly. Even to a layman (and I know nothing about chemical deposition), doesn't "diamond vapor-phase deposition" sound fishy?

- ramchip 16y agoI know about CVD and have read this article. The applications listed are mostly related to cutting bits and actual diamond. It says notably: "[some nice properties] would make it a nearly ideal non-stick coating for cookware if large substrate areas could be coated economically." If coating cookware with it is economically infeasible, I imagine coating a screen would be pretty expensive too. Which is why I doubt the iPhone used this and would like to know where that info came from.
