IPhone7 or will adopt flexible OLED screen?

The next generation of Apple's smart mobile phone iPhone 7 will come out nine months, although apple did not disclose any information about its configuration and function, but get in by every opening media or dug out a lot of "tweets", according to the latest news, Apple's next-generation iPhone intelligent mobile phone will use OLED display larger size the.

OLED display

According to the latest news media, Apple's next generation iPhone smartphone will use a larger size OLED display. The source is the MacX.cn website, the website has successfully "guess" generations of iPhone configuration.

MacX.cn said that Apple has made a request to the supply chain manufacturer Foxconn, requiring the company to develop its larger size OLED screen. As we all know, Foxconn is a very important part of Apple's supply chain. As a large East Asian companies, Foxconn has long been Apple's business.

According to MacX.cn, iPhone 7 or will use a larger screen than iPhone 6. In this regard, industry analysts, apple or iPhone 7 will be upgraded to the screen 5 inches 440ppi pixel density level. If speculation is true, Apple's smart phone screen will be a big step forward in image clarity.

In addition, MacX.cn also said that the upcoming Apple Watch smart watches will also use OLED display.

If you want to extract a few key words from Apple's 2014 performance, it must be "bent" the word is essential. IPhone6 Plus was launched after it was exposed crooked door, and later confirmed that this is only part of the product problems. Followed by Apple bending door, Apple's CEO Cook is actually a "bend". For now, Apple seems to be a bend in the end of the rhythm, because it has recently won a flexible electronic device patent.

January 6th evening news, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) awarded the Apple Corp (hereinafter referred to as apple) a new patent, the technology allows the future iPhone arbitrary bending or folding.

The patent is called flexible electronic devices, allowing a portable device, such as iPhone, arbitrary bending, folding, or other forms of deformation, but also will not adversely affect the internal sensitive parts.

Unlike other flexible electronic products patent, Apple's patent also includes ductility of external parts, such as shell or glass screen, and the internal battery, circuit board, display and other parts of flexible integration.

Flexible OLED screen

In view of the current "straight" iPhone, the patent technology of apple, including at least a capacitive touch sensor, substrate and glass cover. In order to achieve bending, iPhone chassis must not use aluminum alloy material, but instead of plastic, thin glass and fiber composite materials, or other materials can withstand constant bending. Of course, the flexible circuit board to retain some "hard" area, so as to protect CPU and other parts.

Samsung plans to launch in 2015 the use of folding display of smart phones, currently on the market, South Korea LG electronics company has produced a flexible phone GFlex (also using OLED screen). But Apple patent shows that the future of the iPhone bending performance, will be far more than LG. LG mobile phone can bend under the external force, but the relevant patent chart shows that Apple's new phone can tolerate severe deformation, and even can be folded in half, still normal use.

Because it is a fully flexible device, Apple may also introduce new ways of operation. For example, by pressing the iPhone to activate the gravity sensor, and thus start a system command, such as open an application, or switch machine.

Although Apple may not be launched in the short term such a flexible iPhone, but the patent highlights the Apple's ambitions in the field of mobile phones. One day, allow your iPhone to be folded up like a wallet.
