It is one of the best most rumored and most anticipated for the next iPhone that will be released in 2017, coinciding with the tenth anniversary of its launch, the introduction of panels OLED. Now the President of Sharp “confirms” this end noting in addition that “If Apple does not advance on this path […] There will be no innovation.
Them rumors about the introduction of panels OLED in them devices iPhone of next generation not is something new, even is speculated its possibility in them current models iPhone 7 and 7 Plus however, it company would have decided wait to 2017 for its implementation, perhaps also motivated by the limited capacity of them suppliers for meet the high demand from Apple.
8 iPhone touchscreen OLED seems increasingly possible
The Japanese Nikkei website has returned to report on the possible characteristics of the next generation iPhone which many already directly called as iPhone 8, and that while the current generation of the device just takes little more than one month on the market.
Three models of iPhone in 2017
Makes only a few days this same half pointed out that Apple is working until in three models of devices iPhone for 2017. The first big difference between these three devices would be determined by the size of your screen and is that Apple, for the first time, would introduce a five inch model. Thus, according to the sources cited by Nikkei, 2017 iPhone 8 come in versions of 4.7 inch, 5 inch and 5.5 inch.
The other great novelty designated by this medium would be the return of the glass as material main, which was abandoned after the iPhone 4 and 4s. The next iPhone would abandon the material aluminium to present a housing rear built entirely in glass. But according to the current line in which a model (the iPhone 7 Plus) is presented as a model “premium” differentiated from the rest by something more than its size (a double lens camera exclusive that gives rise to an also-exclusive portrait mode), 5.5 inch iPhone 8 would also present a special and unique characteristic: a screen OLED.
Screen OLED
Of this form, while the models of 4.7 and 5 inches would continue maintaining the traditional screen LDC, the iPhone 8 Plus would be more “premium” thanks to that screen OLED.
For the moment unknown if there will really be three models of iPhone 8 and if the distribution of screens will be as it points out to Nikkei but what we do know now is that Apple will introduce panels OLED, or at least that’s what has confirmed the President of Sharp.
Tai Jeng-wu, President of Sharp and Hon Hai Executive (recall that Sharp now belongs to Foxconn, main supplier and assembler of Apple), has confirmed the Tatung University students attending his honorary appointment that Apple is working on display OLED for iPhone.
The iPhone has evolved and now is changing [panels] LTPS (low temperature poly-silicon) panels OLED.
Tai Jeng-wu further indicated that this is the way of the innovation that Apple should follow:
Do not know if the iPhone of Apple OLED will be a success, but if Apple does not step on this path and transforms itself, there will be no innovation. Is a crisis, but also is an opportunity to, said Tai.
Displays OLED offer a greater contrast of color compared to LTPS screens iPhone devices have been used in traditional way. Apple, such as Samsung, LG, Motorola and others, competitors already included technology OLED in many of your devices for already quite some time, while Apple and its partners have often pointed out that the technology OLED “oversaturated” mode.
Apple began to use screen OLED the last year with the arrival of the Apple Watch and more recently, has used this technology in the Touch Bar of the MacBook Pro. All points that afternoon or early will end up offering an iPhone OLED however, still will have that wait to confirm it.
