The Elec, one of the reliable news sources based in South Korea, shared an important news about the US-based technology giant Apple today. According to the news based on industry sources, Apple is cornering its suppliers in terms of display technologies. The reason Apple does such a thing is to lower the bezel thickness. According to the information obtained, Apple wants Samsung and LG to produce completely frameless OLED displays.
In fact, Apple has made serious refinements in the frames of iPhones in recent years. However, news from South Korea reveals that Apple will not be satisfied with these. Although Apple’s demands are impressive, Samsung and LG do not seem to be able to meet this demand easily. At least, according to industry sources, this is the case.
“Time is still needed for the mass production phase”
Concept design.
According to the information obtained, the screen technology Apple wants is not something LG and Samsung can do alone. According to industry sources, Apple needs to do extensive work on the inside of the iPhone for bezel-less displays and make all the parts inside the case suitable for this new display technology. This includes all the parts you can think of, such as the selfie camera, Face ID sensors and antenna. Industry sources underline that a long time is still needed before such a technology can be put into mass production.
Meanwhile; There is already an actively used technology to eliminate the screen bezel: Curved screens. The curved structure that Samsung uses in its flagship phones allows the frame to move away from the field of view to a large extent. When software support is added to this, the frame problem disappears. However, it is stated that Apple definitely does not want such a thing. What Apple wants is for a completely flat panel to get rid of the bezels. We have no choice but to wait and see when this will be possible.
