Yes. You must have been familiar with the marked and scratch issue for the screen. One simple solution is to apply screen protector. But it is going to be more cost to spend. Sony Ericsson, patented nice idea on how screen can have self-cleaning ability.

It can be described as follows:

Described in one of SE patent applications, the idea is to add a cleaning slider to the display and couple it to the opening/sliding mechanism of the phone itself.

When the phone is open, the slider rests at the top of the screen. Then, during the closing process of your flip-phone, the slider moves to the bottom of the display, wiping it clean. And then wipes it once more when you are opening the phone again.

The same process works beautifully with a slider phone form factors to. When you slide open/closed the keyboard, cleaning slider moves through the display wiping it clean.

Sounds amazing. May it be implemented in their new line up soon.
