Apple launched the iPhone X, and its haiwei screen has driven a new wave of design. This year's mobile phone brands like LG, Huawei, OPPO, etc. have all launched new screens for the bangs. According to the IHS Markit survey, the bangs screen panel is full screen Panels, manufacturing costs 20% ~ 25% more, making the price of mobile phones high. At present, panel makers are optimizing the process, the cost gap can be reduced.
According to the IHS Markit survey, a 5.9-inch OLED panel designed with a bang-bang screen, such as the display panel used by Apple iPhone X, is estimated to cost US$29. Samsung Galaxy S9 uses a 5.8-inch display panel designed by Liu Haiping, which manufactures The cost is 25% higher than that of a full-screen OLED panel. In a TFT-LCD panel, there is a similar cost gap between the presence and absence of a bang-screen. The manufacturing cost of a 6-inch TFT-LCD panel using a bang-screen design is estimated. For $19, it is 20% higher than an equivalent full-size full-screen LCD panel without bangs.
Due to the loss of production, the production cost of the haiwei screen panel is cut. Taking the TFT-LCD panel as an example, the use of a haiwei screen design may push the manufacturing cost up to the level of a rigid full-screen OLED panel. IHS Markit Advanced Materials Chief analyst Jimmy Kim said that the OLED panel, the cost increase caused by the bangs screen design seems to be higher.
So far, Apple's first smartphone with the OLED panel, the iPhone X, has produced less quarterly shipments than previous iPhone models. The main reason is that the use of expensive OLED panels has led to higher sales prices. Jimmy Kim said that Apple is at the In the manufacturing process optimization process, however, the manufacturing cost of the OLED panel of the Liuhai PDP will decline faster than the TFT-LCD panel of the Liuhai Screen. The OLED panel of the iPhone X adopts a plastic substrate, and the plastic substrate does not resemble the TFT-LCD. The glass substrate used in the panel is as fragile, so theoretically it should be easier to cut.
