Always with the mind fixed on the microLED screens when we talk about the Apple Watch of the future, now it seems that the OLED screens of Apple watches will have a new distributor, Japan Display. Apple follow looking for alternatives to Samung Display and LG for their OLED screens, so much so that important measures are even adopted in R&D with the creation of research and development centers in Taiwan, among other investments.
The truth is that the new generation of these Apple Watch Series 5 that will arrive this year do not seem to have too many changes beyond the component manufacturers and the news in software that they can add from Cupertino. It is true that it is too early to draw conclusions but the only changes that could be added is that these OLEDs from Japan Display are slightly thinner and allow greater flexibility so they could round the corners of the new model a bit more.
OLED is taking over at Apple
And is that Another of the recent leaks talks about the arrival for 2020 of the three iPhone models with OLED screen and now it is important to get as many suppliers as possible for this, that is why Apple is looking among the manufacturers of these panels. Reuters today launched this report in which it speaks precisely of the arrival of Japan Display to the production of screens for Apple.
While this is happening, research continues with the microLED technology that would replace OLED screens. This microLED technology shares with current displays the precision in the accuracy of the colors, the contrast and fast response times, true blacks. But in its favor, MicroLed technology allows much thinner screens than the already thin OLEDs, much brighter in comparison and best of all, they are much more energy efficient.
