According to reports, Apple will independently design and produce Micro LED display , The secret factory near the California headquarters has been used to produce a few screens for testing. The materials used by MicroLED are different from the current ones. OLED The screen is expected to make future devices more slim, clearer and more energy efficient.
Analysts believe that this move is the latest measure for Apple to realize the autonomy of key components. Facing the weakening of the growth momentum of the mobile phone market, in order to strengthen control and flexibility, Apple began to use all methods to cut costs and try to keep pace with innovation. Intermittently, increasing independent research and development has become its inevitable choice.
In addition, Apple intends to use this to get rid of the long-term reliance on Samsung's supply panel to achieve 'to Samsung', and it is expected to cooperate with Hon Hai Group in the future. It will be pioneered by Hon Hai, and Rongchuang will be the pioneer to help Taiwanese factories to gain access. Apple screen supply chain, forming a new situation in which Apple is united to resist Samsung.
Ding Jinglong, head of the executive vice president and technology development center of Innolux, expressed his confidence that Micro LED will be the next generation monitor In the mainstream of technology, before the technology matured, Innolux pioneered the development of AM miniLED vehicle panels that have won the favor of large manufacturers, and actively develop other small and medium-sized application programs. Before the end of this year will be the first commercialization.
Rongchuang is an important LED-to-investment company of Hon Hai Group. It cooperates with the Group's resource integration and cooperates with Innolux, Sharp and other panel customers. In the second quarter of this year, Mini will be launched in the third quarter at the latest. LED backlight Panels. Rongchuang is also actively developing Micro LED technology, and it is advancing toward volume production.
Such as Apple's move into the Micro LED market, it is expected to drive other brand factories to follow up and promote the opening of Micro LED business opportunities. Among Taiwanese manufacturers, Rong Chuang, Lunda’s resources from Hon Hai and AUO Group, and the market outlook is promising. Relying on its status as a dominant player in the LED industry in the past, Electric is also actively developing Micro LED technology and is expected to steal business opportunities.
According to industry analysis, Apple has never been a technology leader, but as long as new technology is introduced, it can successfully lead the industry's specifications. This is true in past touch, dual-lens and other previous examples.
After the introduction of Micro LED into Apple, the future Micro LED is expected to become the mainstream market.
