Will the next iPhone have an OLED screen? This Japanese company is the key
|
Next year, the iPhone will be 10 years old, and Apple will release at least one iPhone with an OLED screen, perhaps with a curved screen like Samsung's. But whether this news will come true depends on a Japanese company. Bloomberg reported on the 21st that Apple's "journey to find the best OLED screen" ended successfully when it met Tokki. Tokki is a small company under the Japanese imaging giant Canon. The name means "best equipment" in Japanese. Over the past 20 years, this small company with only 343 employees has always been committed to having machine suppliers such as Samsung, LG and Sharp manufacture OLED screens, and almost all OLED manufacturing equipment is provided by Tokki.The report also mentioned that even if Tokki doubled its production in 2016, the total output would be less than 10 units. Due to its slow production time, customers who ordered Tokki products often had to wait for two years . Canon Tokki's latest OLED production equipment is the $8.5 million ELVESS OLED, which is actually an independent vacuum production line that is 100 meters long and can deposit red, blue and green pixels on the glass surface using vapor deposition technology. The reason for the huge demand for ELVESS is Canon Tokki's unique production process. Tokki has a patented camera that tracks production, which allows its products to have extremely small errors, which can be said to effectively increase production. With its monopoly on OLED production equipment, Canon Tokki has become the key to whether the next generation of iPhones can use OLED screens. It is worth noting that after Foxconn acquired display manufacturer Sharp in March, Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou told employees that he personally visited Canon Tokki's headquarters in Niigata to obtain orders. But whether this trip got him what he wanted remains a mystery. As it stands, it is difficult for OLED suppliers to meet existing demand for Samsung Galaxy series, Google Pixel and others. Considering Apple's normal sales, if Apple really launches an iPhone with an OLED screen, the demand for OLED will rise again. There are also rumors that Apple will launch two upgraded iPhones at the same time, perhaps the "iPhone 7s" and "iPhone 7s Plus", but these rumors conflict with the rumors that Apple will adopt an OLED screen.
