News & Reviews:   screen manufacturer

It is worth mentioning that Apple doesn't only source from one manufacturer when it comes to building the iPhone 12 series. The company currently has Samsung and LG Display supplying OLED display panels to them. Other than the two, there's also BOE trying to join the supply chain but has failed. Now, it is reported the Chinese manufacturer couldn't pass Apple's validation the second time for some reasons.

Until now, there is no smartphone in the market that comes with both LCD and in-display fingerprint sensor. However, we know that the technology will be commercially available someday as smartphone manufacturers want to provide the security solution to those budget phones with LCD screens. Now, it looks like this Chinese company has not only sorted it out but also made the sensor to cover the whole LCD screen.

Earlier, it was rumoured that Samsung was considering using screens made by Chinese firm BOE on their new smartphones. The change comes as it's believed that BOE’s OLED panels are cheaper than Samsung’s in-house screens. However, it is reported that the panels supplied by BOE couldn't make it to become the screens of the next Galaxy S series as they have failed in quality tests.
