In short supply! Continued shortage of AMOLED chips LCD party will never be slaves?

Recently, the editor learned that Omdia data shows that in the second half of 2021, the supply of large-size display driver chips is expected to ease compared with the first half. However, there is still a risk of tension or shortage in 2022. In addition, the supply of LCD driver chips tends to be balanced or loose. However, as AMOLED screens continue to increase their market share, the supply of AMOLED driver chips will be more challenging.

   At present, the industry that mainly adopts AMOLED screens on the market is the smartphone industry. In 2021, most of the new smartphones will use AMOLED screens. Compared with traditional LCD screens, AMOLED has the following advantages. First of all, AMOLED screens are very light and thin, which allows manufacturers to better control the size of mobile phones and allocate more space inside the mobile phone to other components such as batteries. Secondly, AMOLED is a self-luminous material, which can reduce power consumption when displaying dark screens. At the same time, AMOLED’s response speed is very fast, its response time is only 1/1000 to 1/100 of LCD, so that users will be more smooth when using mobile phones. In addition, the color gamut of AMOLED screens is very wide, which makes AMOLED screens more advantageous when displaying bright images. In addition to the above advantages, AMOLED screens also have flexible characteristics, which allows manufacturers to explore new forms of mobile phones such as folding screens.

   Nowadays, the supply of AMOLED driver chips is restricted, and the supply of LCD driver chips is gradually stabilizing. I wonder if smart phone manufacturers will re-adopt LCD screens? let us wait and see. Shop a wide selection of  Batteries at www.oriccabattery.co.uk Fast Shipping. 30 Day

Apple AirPods 3 will be released soon: old products or will continue to be sold at reduced prices

 According to the news, Apple may launch a new AirPods 3 at this fall conference. Recent analysts predict that the new design will drive more consumers to buy new products, so AirPods 3 shipments will increase by 10%-15%. In addition, analysts also said that AirPods 2 will most likely continue production after AirPods 3 mass production.

   In addition, the analyst also predicted two pricing strategies for AirPods 3 and AirPods 2: The price of AirPods 3 is higher than that of AirPods 2, and the price of AirPods 2 remains unchanged. AirPods 3 prices are the same as AirPods 2, and AirPods 2 are sold at a reduced price.    Of course, no matter what pricing strategy AirPods products will implement, it will further increase the market share of AirPods products.

   According to the current news, AirPods 3 will adopt a new design, supporting spatial audio, Hey Siri and other functions. Its shape is very similar to AirPods Pro, but the charging box is small in size and does not support noise reduction. In terms of price, the product is expected to be the same as or slightly higher than the previous generation. Taking into account that the product line has not been updated for a long time, so after the new product debut, it is likely to drive more users to replace it.

Samsung launched a 13-inch retractable display that can turn 2D images into 3D!

According to Korean media reports, on September 8, Samsung Display delivered a keynote speech at the “Global Tech Korea 2021” conference held by COEX in Seoul, launching a 13-inch stretchable OLED display. As the name implies, a stretchable OLED is a stretchable display. The display screen can be three-dimensionally stretched according to the displayed content. In the operating video released by Samsung Display that same day, the retractable display performed well in terms of three-dimensional effects. When a stretchable OLED is used to represent a flowing lava image, the screen will increase or decrease with the movement of the lava, making the image more realistic.

Samsung Display launched the world’s first stretchable OLED at the International Information Display Association (SID) exhibition held in 2017. The product at the time was 9.1 inches. Now that the company has expanded its stretchable OLED size to 13 inches with advanced technology, it seems that Samsung Display’s scalable technology is developing very fast.

   Stretchable displays are evaluated as the most difficult technology to achieve. There are also evaluations in the industry that stretchability is the end point of flexible display technology. Changhee Lee, vice president of Samsung Display, said: “In the past, the degree of deformation of stretchable OLEDs was about 5%, but it has now been significantly improved. With the emergence of various displays, there will also be innovations in finished products.”
   In addition to Samsung, LG Display is also responding to changes in display dimensions. LG is developing curved, rollable and transparent OLED displays to expand into new markets such as construction, transportation and furniture, rather than staying in the existing TV, information technology (IT) and mobile markets.Apple Batteries – Shop a wide selection of Samsung Batteries at www.oriccabattery.co.uk Fast Shipping. 30 Day

iPhone 13 has not been released, iPhone 14 appearance configuration has been leaked?

Apple has officially announced that it will hold an autumn new product launch at 10 am on September 14th, US time. Not surprisingly, we will see the long-awaited iPhone 13 series by then. But before that, the editor discovered an interesting thing. The iPhone 13 series is still on its way to debut, but the iPhone 14 series has already been exposed, and it is the exposure of the appearance rendering and detailed parameter level. Let’s watch together.

   Judging from the parameter picture released by Twitter blogger @Ross Young, the iPhone 14 series is still divided into four models, but the mini model has been cancelled, which is consistent with the previous revelations. Among them, the screen sizes of iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are the same, both 6.06 inches, while the new Max models are equipped with 6.68 inches large screen like iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, in terms of screen resolution and refresh rate, the two models with the “Pro” suffix are still positioned higher.

   In addition, the four models of the iPhone 14 series will all be equipped with larger batteries and equipped with an A16 bionic chip. The process technology is 4nm, so the performance should be guaranteed. It is worth noting that only the iPhone 14 is dual-camera among the four models, which may indicate that this machine is the one with the lowest positioning.

LG has developed a new foldable display material that can improve creases, launched in 2023

Although no longer a participant in the Android mobile phone market, LG has never stopped the research and development of things that may be useful in the future, including mobile-related things.
   For example, on September 7, LG announced the development of a new foldable display material called “Real Folding Window”. The product uses a specially developed coating material, the surface is as hard as glass, but the folded part has plastic-like flexibility.

   The “Real Folding Window” developed by LG Chem is coated with a new material with a thickness of several tens of microns (μm) on both sides of a thin plastic PET film to improve the heat resistance and mechanical properties of the plastic. Compared with the existing tempered glass, it is thinner and has the same hardness, but there is no crack on the screen. Compared with the existing polyimide film, its price is more competitive, and due to its excellent flexibility, it can fully maintain durability even if it is folded more than 200,000 times. LG Chem has also made significant improvements to the creases that appear in the folding part of the screen.
LG plans to mass-produce the display material in 2022 and start sales in 2023. Chang Do Ki (Vice President of IT Materials Division/Head of Business Division) commented: “Through our newly developed Real Folding Window, we are able to get closer to solving customer pain points. We have received joint project proposals from multiple customers. “He added: “We will strengthen our partnership with leading companies in the smartphone industry, and expand our market starting from mobile phones, and expand to new foldable applications such as laptops and tablets.”
   According to data from global market research company Omdia, the foldable mobile phone market is expected to grow from 3.5 million units in 2020 to 50 million units in 2026.Apple Batteries – Shop a wide selection of  LG Batteries at www.oriccabattery.co.uk Fast Shipping. 30 Day Replacement
