Apple to ditch Japanese display suppliers after iPhone SE switch to OLED




It’s been a while since Apple last updated the iPhone SE, and rumors suggest that a new version of this iPhone is coming next year with significant upgrades – including an OLED panel. If true, this also means that Apple will ditch its Japanese display suppliers, as they specialize in LCD panels.

Apple to complete transition from LCD to OLED on iPhone

The report comes from Nikkei Asia, which corroborates previous rumors about the next-generation iPhone SE getting an OLED panel just like the rest of the lineup. Currently, only the iPhone SE, considered an entry-level model for Apple, still has an LCD panel.

The LCD panels used by Apple in the iPhone SE are supplied by Japan Display (JDI) and Sharp. In the past, both companies accounted for as much as 70% of the supply of iPhone displays. However, as Apple moved from LCD to OLED, the company opted for South Korean and Chinese suppliers specializing in this technology.

  What we know about the Baltimore bridge collapse A massive cargo ship plowed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday, causing the 1.6-mile structure to crumble like a pile of toothpicks – plunging cars and people into the frigid water below. Six people are presumed dead, a Coast Guard official said at a news conference Tuesday evening. Here’s what we know about the catastrophe: Why did the bridge collapse? Shortly before 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, a Singaporean-flagged container vessel called DALI struck one of the  47-year-old bridge’s  pillars, officials said. The local pilot of the ship did “everything that he could have done” to slow the ship and keep it from drifting toward the bridge, Clay Diamond, executive director and general counsel of the American Pilots Association, told CNN. “Just minutes before the bridge, there was a total blackout on the ship, meaning that the ship lost engine power and electrical power, it was a complete blackout,”  Diamond said .
