[Abstract] The second-generation Apple Watch uses a TOL screen, and the output of the screen is not enough. Apple's three-generation watch may choose the Glass-Flim panel.
Tencent Digital News (Databoy) reminisce about the year, Apple introduced Apple Watch, watch display sudden changes.
A generation of Apple Watch installed a touch panel consisting of two glasses. By the second generation, Apple switched to the TOL screen. TOL is a touch technology that can reduce the structural layer of a projected capacitive touch panel, making the touch panel lighter and thinner and more cost-effective.
The use of TOL technology caused great trouble to the supplier TPK Holdings. TPK Holdings produces panels, but the yield is too low and the TOL panel's capacity is not enough.
Where are the problems? Because the screen is curved.
Since the TOL yield was too low, TPK suffered a loss. In desperation, TPK decided not to supply Apple with the Apple Watch screen. It had to make money.
It is also reported that three generations of Apple Watch watches are ready to use different panels. In the next generation of Apple Watch, Apple will use the Glass-Flim panel. Suppliers may be General Interface Solutions in Taiwan and Biel Crystal Manufactory in Hong Kong. Apple Watch 3 will also adopt a G/F solution that is cheaper and easier to mass-produce. This is a win-win result for both parties. Apple Watch 3 has a lower cost, an improved shipping rate, and Haohong Technology can also make a profit.
In addition, because there have been rumors that the iPhone 8 will be equipped with OLED screens, and Hao Hong technology has always been the main supplier of the iPhone touch screen, the industry chain's news that Chunhong Technology abandoned the Apple Watch, the more important reason is to escort the iPhone 8. , to ensure that Apple's main product supply will not go wrong.
Since the second half of the year, glass film panels will begin shipping. According to estimates, three generations of Apple Watch may be launched in the fall of 2017.
