A finer OLED screen by LG for the iPhone12?

force to return to the front of the scene, the rumor claiming that Apple intends to supply LG with OLED panels for the iPhone will she finally come to fruition? According to the coren siteThe Elec, this would finally be for this year 2020. LG would be in the midst of converting one of its Paju factories for the production of panels with an LTPO backplane. The production would be insufficient to cover all of the Apple models, which would thus continue to supply most of Samsung, but we could therefore witness this year a beginning of diversification in the origin of the OLED screens of the iPhone.

The backplane is the component that controls the lighting of the pixels: LTPO technology saves 5% to 15% of energy compared to a classic LTPS backplane, and also allows better control of the screen refresh. We already have a concrete example of the use of this technology thanks to the Apple Watch Series5, whose screen designed by LG has the distinction of being able to pass from 60Hz to 1Hz when the watch is not in use; it is this advance that allows Apple to offer its notch always on. On the iPhone, one could for example imagine thanks to this technology the time and the notifications displayed permanently. And this novelty could be part of a more ambitious project: it is indeeddj murmurthat Apple would be eyeing on ProMotion technology and its 120Hz refresh rate for the 2020 range …

The other novelty of this new generation of screens that could be of great interest to Apple lies in the integration of the touch layer directly on the screen, which would save both finesse and cost of production. These are two variables that are obviously crucial for the iPhone.

Recall that according to the indiscrtions we have at the moment, Apple would have no less thanfive iPhone modelsin its boxes for the year 2020: a successor for the iPhone8 which should be available in the spring, and four new models notched next September to take over from the iPhone11 and iPhone11 Pro. Whereas Apple now has a single entry-level model (the 6.1 “iPhone11) and two high-end models (the 5.8” iPhone11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max 6.5 “), the future range would consist of two entry-level models with diagonals of 5.4” and 6.1 “, and two high-end models with sizes of 6 , 1 “and 6.7”. Several observers claim that these four models would have OLED panels (LCD technology would therefore be discontinued); it is easy to imagine that the screens in question could be more popular on Pro models, but the rumors about this are still unclear at this time.
