Countless reports claimed that Apple would apply AMOLED displays on their next iPhone.<\/p>\n

OLED has become a hot topic\u00a0and inevitable trend since the news emerged.<\/p>\n

What is OLED? What are the differences between OLED and LCD?<\/p>\n

Will it affect the supply of China Made iPhone Screens<\/span>?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got all the answers you want to know as below.<\/p>\n

What is OLED?<\/strong><\/p>\n

OLED, which stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode, is made from organic light emitting materials that emit light when current is passed through it, being considered as a thin-film display technology.<\/p>\n

Main types of OLEDs<\/strong><\/p>\n

The two most widely used OLED technologies are AMOLED and PMOLED.<\/p>\n

The market of PMOLED is much smaller and more fragmented than AMOLED\u2019s, as well as the development prospects.<\/p>\n

News from trusted source reveals that Apple is expected to use AMOLED display in the iPhone 8 to save its shipments, which is in a continued decline.<\/p>\n

What are the differences between OLED and LCD?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The biggest difference between these two kinds of technologies is that they have different structures, which really makes sense at the performance and application.<\/p>\n

Since OLED does not require backlight and filters (unlike LCD displays), It is more efficient and much thinner – and in fact, can be made flexible and even rollable.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Below are the major differences between LCD and OLED derived from the disparate structures.<\/p>\n

1. Backlight<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

LCDs require a backlight but OLEDs do not need, they are self-luminous.<\/p>\n

2. Size<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Due to the absence of backlight modules, OLEDs are thinner and lighter than LCDs.<\/p>\n

3. Black level<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Compared with the \u201cblack\u201d screens of LCDs, OLEDs can produce truly black screens.<\/p>\n

For OLED, black pixels are simply pixels that emit no light at all.<\/p>\n

However, for LCD, black pixels are done by covering all the white light with the help of filter.<\/p>\n

Actually, this process turns out to be very difficult —there is always an amount of light being leaked.<\/p>\n

4. Power consumption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In a general way, OLEDs consume less power than LCDs for their self-light-generating. However, this is not always the case.<\/p>\n

When white screens are far more than black screens, LCDs win the battle of power consuming. The advantage of OLEDs comes from black screens.<\/p>\n

5. Viewing angles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The thinner technology and closer pixels enable OLEDs the excellent viewing angles.<\/p>\n

That means you can get qualified pictures no matter which angle you look from, dead center or far aside. Situations are generally worse in LCDs.<\/p>\n

Depending on different display technologies, LCDs vary hugely from each other.<\/p>\n

6. Color<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Colors of OLEDs were not so desirable and it’s hard to keep them realistic in the past. While now, it is much better for the application of new technologies.<\/p>\n

Diversified as LCDs are, their performances are unlike depending on the specific technology used.<\/p>\n

Like IPS and VA, after being\u00a0properly calibrated, they can provide great color accuracy \u2013iPhone 6s LCD<\/span> is a vivid example of a phone\u00a0with top color accuracy.<\/p>\n

7. Prezzo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Affordable price is one of the advantages of LCD.<\/p>\n

However, this supremacy would fade away in the long run as the rapid development of OLED.<\/p>\n

8. Lifespan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, the comparatively long lifespan is another advantage of LCD.<\/p>\n

OLED is a little bit worse at this aspect due to the short lifespan of the blue organic material.<\/p>\n

What will the OLED bring to mobile phone repair industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the next iPhone features OLED screen, what will happen in the mobile phone repair industry?<\/p>\n

Many people have struggled with this problem since the news bubbled.<\/p>\n

Judging from the market demand, Chinese iPhone Screens have dominated half of the shipments from the last quarter of 2015.<\/p>\n

Will the application of OLED affect the supply of China Made Screens?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to say, really. As the mainstream OLED suppliers, Samsung and LG have already acquired a monopoly position.<\/p>\n

Chinese manufacturers, like BOE and Tianma, are trying to catch up with the tendency, but there are still some gaps existed.<\/p>\n

There are likely to be some difficulties to meet the demand of OLED China Made iPhone Screens in the short term if the technology is truly employed.<\/p>\n

Whereas the age of OLED is right around the corner, and China Made Screens will eventually come back with surprise.<\/p>\n
