iPhone 12 Specs
  • The iPhone 12 specs list will not include a 120Hz display, which is a staple feature for high-end Android flagships this year.
  • Several leaks hinted that Apple had tested prototypes with 120Hz displays, but ultimately choose not to enable the feature to save battery life.
  • A high refresh rate would be a great upgrade, but it’s not a must-have feature for the iPhone.

The iPhone 12 launch event is just over a day away, but we already know many things about this year’s iPhone series. The new handsets will deliver major upgrades over last year’s phones, and that’s a statement that applies to any new iPhone. But the iPhone 12 phones will bring over several “firsts” for the iPhone. The iPhone 12 series will be the first iPhone series to come in four models, and all of them will pack OLED displays. All

OPPO Patents Smartphone With Waterfall Display & Under-Display Camera

Posted on by [email protected]_84

After patenting several foldable smartphone designs over the last few months, OPPO is back with an innovative design for traditional candy bar-style smartphones. The latest OPPO patent approved by CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Administration) reveals the smartphone with a waterfall display and an under-display selfie camera.

While the company filed for the patent in November last year, it only got approved earlier today. The documentation includes a total of four design iterations with a few minor changes.

Latest OPPO patent showcases smartphone with waterfall display

These days, curved edge displays are common to find on flagship smartphones. OPPO’s patented design takes the display curvature to an extreme level. That said, it already showcased a similar-looking smartphone in July last year.

Brian Shen, OPPO’s VP, shared images of the prototype device featuring a waterfall display with 88-degree curved edges. The company never again talked about that device. With this newly

High-speed low-power printed transistors could lead to new display technologies — ScienceDaily

Posted on by [email protected]_84

The chances are you are reading these words on a smartphone or computer screen. For around the last 10 years, these types of screens have been based on a display technology composed of so-called thin film transistors. These are inorganic transistors which require very little power, and they have proven themselves very capable given their widespread adoption. But they have some limits which researchers have been busy trying to overcome.

“We explore new ways to improve upon thin film transistors, such as new designs or new methods of manufacture,” said Gyo Kitahara, a Ph.D. student from the Department of Applied Physics. “Organic thin film transistors, for example, have a bright future in LCD screen devices. Compared to the inorganic kind currently used, we expect the organic kind to be useful in low-cost, large-area, lightweight and wearable electronic products, especially by using printing-based production technologies.”

The idea of organic thin film

Universal Display Corporation Congratulates Dr. Mark Thompson for Induction into the National Academy of Engineering

Posted on by [email protected]_84

Universal Display Corporation (Nasdaq: OLED), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, congratulates Dr. Mark Thompson, Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and Scientific Advisory Board member of Universal Display Corporation (UDC), on his induction into the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). Professor Thompson became a member of the NAE on October 4, 2020 at the Academy’s virtual annual meeting.

The National Academy of Engineering cited Professor Thompson for his “development of highly efficient electrophosphorescent materials for organic light emitting devices used in displays and lighting worldwide.” Professor Thompson was one of 86 new members and 18 international members named to the Academy, one of the highest professional honors in the engineering profession. According to the NAE, Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to “engineering research, practice, or education, including,

LTA studying use of smartphone screens to display information from new ERP unit: Amy Khor

Posted on by [email protected]_84

SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is studying whether data from the new on-board unit (OBU) in vehicles can be pushed to smartphones, allowing them to be used as an alternative display screen for electronic road pricing (ERP) information.

This is a “possible future upgrade” for the OBU, said Senior Minister of State for Transport Amy Khor in Parliament on Monday (Oct 5). 

It was announced last month that installation of the OBU – replacing the current in-vehicle units (IU) – will start in the second half of 2021. These will be used when Singapore switches to the satellite-based next-generation ERP system in mid-2023.

Dr Khor said authorities are consulting workshops and authorised motor vehicle agents on how best to install the OBUs. 

“For example, the OBU display unit can be installed in cars such that the blockage of the windscreen is very minimal, and can be folded

New 5G iPhone SE with dual-lens camera in 2022, ProMotion in ‘iPhone 13’ display analyst says

Posted on by [email protected]_84

A new rumor chimes in on ProMotion arriving with the “iPhone 13” and Apple may not release new iPhone SE until 2022, but it will arrive with 5G support, a dual-camera setup, and a larger display when it does.

According to display expert Ross Young, Apple won’t release a new iPhone SE model in the spring of 2021. Instead, a successor to the low-cost iPhone arrives in the spring of 2022.

Those waiting for the update may be rewarded with several new technologies. Young says the new iPhone SE model will sport 5G support, a 6.06-inch display, and a dual-lens camera setup. It will reportedly retain a Touch ID sensor, though there aren’t any details on fingerprint sensor location or bezel size.

As far as predictions for 2021, Young says that the “iPhone 13” models will sport 120Hz ProMotion displays with variable refresh rates, made possible through adoption of

Apple’s Future iPhones Could Feature Self-Healing Display

Posted on by [email protected]_84

KEY POINTS

  • Apple is working on a slew of new technologies for upcoming devices
  • One such technology is a “self-healing” display
  • The technology might be used for future iPhones

A new patent application shows that Apple is hard at work in creating functional and durable flexible displays that will be used for its future devices, such as a foldable iPhone. The technology described in the new filing reveals that the company is working on a display that’s capable of “healing” itself from the damages it might sustain during normal use.

The new patent application, titled “Electronic Devices With Flexible Display Cover Layers,” was recently published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In it, inventors talked about one of the ways that Apple could make a foldable iPhone.

The inventors described a device that has a flexible display comprised of several parts, including two rigid display cover layers that are

Future folding iPhones may repair scratches or dents in the display by themselves

Posted on by [email protected]_84

In researching types of displays that can be folded or bent, Apple is now also proposing that the iPhone displays themselves could “heal” the inevitable wear and tear on them.

Apple has been working on a foldable iPhone for at least five years, and it’s also investigated ones where the screen can be rolled up. In each case, the issue is of making these screens work — and not be damaged by the folding or rolling.

Now a newly-revealed patent application suggests a way of both minimizing damage, and of doing something about it when it happens. “Electronic Devices With Flexible Display Cover Layers,” proposes mixing rigid and flexible areas for a display, and then also utilizing what Apple calls “self-healing.”

It’s perhaps this self-healing part that is the most interesting part of the patent application. Unfortunately, while there are 147 references to it in the application’s more than 11,000
