The display supports 120Hz refresh rate, which has been attracting attention in the rumors about iPhone for the past few years. Although it has been rumored, this function has not been actually introduced, but it is rumored that the 2021 flagship iPhone 13 (provisional) Pro model will finally be equipped with a 120Hz compatible display. Has been done.
According to The Elec, a media familiar with South Korean supply chain information, Samsung will exclusively supply LTPO OLED display panels for iPhone 13 Pro models. And the panel reports that it supports a 120Hz refresh rate.
LTPO is a type of backplane technology that turns individual pixels on the display on and off. Unlike the LTPS (low temperature polysilicon) used in the current iPhone, the refresh rate can be changed from 1Hz to 120Hz, which has the advantage of reducing power consumption, and has already been put to practical use for constant display of Apple Watch Series 5 and later. I will.
For Android smartphones, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has already been adopted.
In the past, display analyst Ross Young argued that LTPO technology was essential for 120Hz display on the iPhone.While I expected that it would not happen because it could not be procured in the iPhone 12 generation (actually this claim was true), the iPhone 13 Pro model will come to 120Hz with the introduction.Was sayingYou may.
So far the same The ElecRumors reported in December last yearIt is also a reconfirmation of, but it should be noted that “all iPhone models released in the latter half of 2022”, that is, additional rumors that LTPO will be adopted from the entry model to the Pro model of iPhone 14 (provisional) is.
Not only Samsung but also LG Display is currently focusing on building a production line in order to join the supply of LTPO organic EL display (for Apple, the risk of relying on one Samsung company is reduced).
If LTPO is adopted for the iPhone, it should be possible to enjoy scrolling and smooth videos that flow like the ProMotion display of the iPad Pro. On the other hand, with a variable refresh rate of 1 to 120Hz, you can expect constant display like Apple Watch (such as dropping the clock to 1Hz and keeping the clock displayed on the lock screen) and power saving, which generally boosts the popularity of iPhone 14. It looks like it.
