Wall Street Journal: the LCD industry is declining. Apple will abandon it next year. According to foreign media "Wall Street Journal", Apple plans to stop using LCD materials as screens from next year, which means that the iPhone XR launched in 2019 will be the last iPhone to use this material. At the same time, the LCD industry is also declining.
LCD material was once one of the key components of the iPhone's fame. Since the iPhone 4 mobile phone, Apple has made the most amazing mobile phone screen in the world through in-depth research on LCD, and with this, my mobile phone is sold for sale. Even if the screen resolution of the iPhone is exceeded by other mobile phones, there are still other manufacturers comparing the iPhone screen as an industry standard.
However, OLED organic LED materials have developed rapidly in recent years. This kind of screen material that can self-illuminate and bend has more advantages than LCD screens under Samsung's adjustment, and the color is no longer as saturated as a few years ago.
Apple finally accepted the OLED material last year and created the iPhone X. The Chin part of this mobile phone can be so narrow and thanks to OLED. Only in this way can it be realized.
So the outside world said OLED will make "mobile phone design more flexible 」. Today's Wall Street Journal news can also be said to be further confirmed that the LCD material will eventually be abandoned by Apple. If from an industry perspective, as leaders in the LCD industry move away from LCD screens, they are also trying to find new sources of income. The Wall Street Journal's report describes Japan Display Inc .) How is it in trouble because it relies too much on Apple's LCD orders, the future downturn and the lower demand for iPhone XR are seriously hurting the company.
In addition to the existing OLED, Apple has also been exploring the Micro LED material, which is a new generation of display technology, with higher brightness, better luminous efficiency and lower power consumption than the existing OLED.
In May 2017, Apple has started the development of a new generation of display technology. On February 2018, Samsung launched Micro led TV on CES 2018, but there is no precedent for Micro LED to be used in mobile phone products in the industry.
