Bezel-less iPhone Display: Apple Urges OLED Suppliers
Apple has reportedly engaged its OLED suppliers, Samsung Display and LG Display, in a quest to develop OLED panels without bezels. This ambitious move consists of two phases: firstly, to reduce bezels on this year’s iPhone 15 Pro models, and eventually, in the coming years, to adopt a fully Bezel-less iPhone Display, eliminating the camera cutout and striving for an exceptionally thin bezel.
The Challenge of Under-Panel Camera (UPC) Technology: The journey towards achieving this goal faces several significant hurdles. One key challenge is the under-panel camera (UPC) technology, where the outer film layer must be thinner to accommodate an under-display camera effectively. Additionally, the thin-film encapsulation (TFE), designed to safeguard the OLED from moisture and oxygen, involves stacking an inorganic film and an organic film. The inorganic film blocks moisture and oxygen, while the organic film seals gaps in the inorganic layer.
Overcoming the Flat Display Dilemma: Another obstacle stems from Apple’s commitment to retaining the iPhone’s flat display, which poses difficulties in bending the screen circuits for the bottom bezel. The company appears unwilling to opt for a curved display due to concerns about the magnifying glass effect at the edges and potential durability issues.
Apple’s Unwavering Dedication: Despite these formidable challenges, Apple’s unwavering dedication to realizing a truly Bezel-less iPhone Display exemplifies its unwavering commitment to cutting-edge technology. However, it’s evident that achieving this visionary goal will take some time, and a completely Bezel-less iPhone Display remains a goal for the future.
