This year, iPhone 6 panel orders exceeded 100 million

Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus formally started selling, attracting global buying of fruit powder. Apple announced that it sold more than 10 million units in the first 3 days of listing. NPD DisplaySearch pointed out that iPhone 6 includes advanced panel technology and it is expected that iPhone 6 panel will be released in 2014. The volume will exceed 100 million, and panel makers must accelerate the expansion process.

NPD DisplaySearch analyzes iPhone 6 panel using several new technologies, including: negative-type IPS wide viewing angle LCD technology mode, which can improve contrast, different from ordinary forward-type liquid crystal; color filter is thinner, combined with new green color Resistor, can increase color saturation; Backlight uses ultra-thin light guide plate (LGP), can reduce the thickness; Backlight uses two-in-one LED chip package, can increase brightness; The use of the two films and the diffusion membrane in one new The BEF structure can increase the brightness and reduce the thickness.

DisplaySearch said that the liquid crystal display (LCD) is an important part of the iPhone 6, so that consumers are excited to finally use a large-size screen, iPhone 6 uses a 4.7 inch 1334 × 750 LTPS ((low temperature polycrystalline silicon) TFT LCD (thin film transistor The liquid crystal display screen) is 326 ppi pixels per inch and the panel suppliers are LG Display, Japan Display and Sharp. The iPhone 6 Plus uses a 5.5 inch 1920×1080 LTPS TFT LCD with 400 ppi pixels per inch. The panel supplier is LG Display and Japan Display.

According to Xie Qinyi, vice president of DisplaySearch in Greater China, the use of new technologies and new materials for the iPhone 6 panel has brought panel makers considerable difficulty. Although the iPhone 6 panel began shipping at the end of June, panel makers have been working hard to improve product stability and yield.

Xie Qinyi speculated that Apple had booked more than 100 million iPhone 6 panels for 2014, so panel makers must speed up the expansion process. In addition to the panel, NDisplaySearch expects the total sales of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to be between 70 million and 80 million units in 2014, but it is clear that Apple is very confident about the sales of the iPhone 6 in 2015, so the amount of panel purchases in 2014 is greater than The total sales volume is then ready to prepare more panel inventory.

He said that as Japan Display, LG Display, and Sharp are making full efforts to produce iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus panels, they will obviously consume their production capacity. In the fourth quarter, the supply and demand of smart phone panels will gradually balance, especially in the so-called low temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) technology. With productivity.
