LG Display is aiming to upgrade its production facilities for flexible, Gen-6 OLED panels for smaller displays at its E6 lines in Paju of Gyeonggi Province. For this, the firm will be adding new equipment by early 2020 to produce touch-integrated panels, while switching to the LTPO backplane technology.
As the E6 lines are known to be Apple-exclusive, the touch-integrated screens are to be supplied to the new iPhones to be launched [in 2020], according to industry sources on Dec. 17.
LTPO is a low-energy OLED display technology that Apple first commercialized for the Apple Watch Series 4 in 2018. The LTPO OLED panels for the watches were mass produced at LGD’s E2 plant in Paju. These will now be produced from the Gen-6 OLED lines.
MacDailyNews Take: As we wrote last year in anticipation:
Imagine an iPhone with an Always-On Retina LTPO display! — <MacDailyNews, September 12, 2019
Don’t be surprised if only the iPhone 12 Pro series has this display.
Thanks for ruining the surprise 🙁
i was actually surprised by S. Mulji saying don’t be suprised!
Surprise! I’m not S. Muljilted.
I’m kind of surprised that the Apple-man that loved skinny now gone, there’s a surprising pitch for “thinner” in the next iPhone.
I also surprised with all of the above surprises too.
An Italian, a Scotsman, and a Chinese guy are hired at a construction site.
The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian, “You’re in charge of sweeping.”
To the Scotsman he says, “You’re in charge of shovelling.”
And to the Chinese man he says, “You’re in charge of supplies.”
So the foreman goes away for a couple of hours and when he returns, the pile of sand is untouched.
He asks the Italian, “Why didn’t you sweep any of it?”
He replies “I no hava no broom, you saida to the Chinese guy that he wasa ina charge of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no coulda finda him nowhere.”
The foreman turns to the Scotsman and says, “And you, I thought I told you to shovel this pile.”
He replied, “Aye, ye did lad, bit ah couldnae git masel’ a shuvl! Ye left thon wee Chinese mannie in chairge of supplies, bit ah couldnae fin’ him onywhar.”
The foreman is really pissed off now and storms off towards the pile of sand to look for the Chinese guy.
As he approaches the mound, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind the sand and yells…
“SUPPLIES!”
