Apple Watch is the most personal smart device user wear as it helps the user to show their day to day whereabouts from Health to other stuff. So how could Apple not try to bring more refinement to upcoming Apple Watch. Apple is preparing for the 5th Gen Apple Watch as they recently made an order for newer OLED’s to Japan Display Inc.
Japan Display Inc will begin to supply organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens for the Apple Watch later this year, two sources said, a breakthrough for the cash-strapped company whose late shift to OLED has cost it orders from Apple.
The supply deal would mark Japan Display’s foray into the OLED display market, the two sources familiar with the matter said, declining to be identified because they are not authorized to speak to the media.
Japan Display was providing the display for iPhone XR, which uses LCD. But Apple is planning to drop LCD from their iPhone completely by 2020 in favor of all-OLED. As a result, Japan Display has been seeking investor help that will put it on firmer ground before the switch takes place.
According to reports the company has aimed to raise as much as $990 million in new financing as easily as this week.
Samsung might be the supplier of OLEDs for recent gen Apple iPhone XS and XS Max. It has been reported that LG is also building a facility for the production of OLED display so that Apple may switch from Samsung to LG as the main supplier.
Today’s report offers little clue as to what the switch to Japan Display OLED screens could mean a lot for the next Apple Watch, save for a note that newer OLED technology is generally thinner and allows more flexibility than LCD screens. For the Apple Watch Series 4, Apple upgraded the display panel to a larger LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) OLED Retina Display, which means it is more efficient and consumes less power for better battery life.
Apple will make Apple Watch Series 5 introduction in September Event alongside with 2019 iPhone.
Apple may bring much improvement to upcoming Apple Watch which includes new Materials, Solid State Button which don’t click but feels like it clicks, faster processor, sleep tracking and more.
