IPhones 2020 may have smaller and more efficient screens

We have new rumors. It took many months for Tim Cook to participate in Apple's new script to introduce the company's new smartphones, but these devices were designed a year earlier.

The provision for contracts for new parts with different vendors has been signed. Some are developing new production plants to meet this demand, and start producing in a short period of time. Although Apple tries not to give clues to its competitors, it is unlikely that there is no leak in the innovative designs of the components that make up the new iPhone. Today the "sneak" is about new screens.

According to Korean website Elec, Several types of iPhones that will be introduced this year will feature integrated connectivity screens provided by LG. Note the article displayed by LG for the purpose of restructuring its production facilities for the convertible OLED Gen-6 panels, to get smaller screens on their E-6 lines at the Paju factory in Gyeonggi province. In this case, the firm will add new equipment in early 2020 to produce integrated touch panels, while transitioning to LTPO rear panel technology.

As these E-6 production lines are exclusively for Apple components, the integrated screen screens will be introduced on new iPhones that will be launched in 2020. This was explained in a recent report from Korean website ETNews, saying that so-called iPhone 12 Pro Models will adopt technologies that allow touchscreen circuits to be modeled directly on the OLED panel without the need for a separate layer, which will result in reduced screen and lower production costs.

It is not yet clear how these tiny screens will result in the most pressing iPhones this year. It should be noted that The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are actually bigger and bigger than the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, respectively, as Apple replaced the larger batteries by its latest iPhones.

Today's Elec report also states that LG is preparing to switch to LTPO backplane technology in the second half of the 2020s. Background backup is responsible for converting individual pixels and locking them on the screen.

LTPO, or low temperature polycrystalline oxide, has a TFT oxide structure that uses up to 15% less energy than EPPS or lower polysicil, the backplate technology currently used by Apple. Of course that will have an impact on the more efficient display and longer battery life on the 2020 iPhones.

The Apple Watch Series 4 and Series 5 models already have LTPO interface. Apple says this technology allows the Series 5 models to have the same battery life of up to 18 hours as the Series 4 models, even though they have a mirror all the time.

It is still unclear if LG is ready to produce LTPO screens during Apple's 2020 smartphones. This is expected to be a good year for the iPhone, with rumors pointing to new sizes and showing technology, a redesigned frame such as the iPhone 4, 5G network, up to 6 GB of RAM, etc. We'll see …
