According to the latest
rumors about the next generation of iPhone, there would be two OLED models in
5.8 and 6.5 inches, but also, more surprisingly, athird
model with an LCD screenin 6.1 inches which would be the least expensive of
three.
Usually, Apple favors the use of the best
technologies as well as optimizing the price of its devices. However, he

new iPhone offersimprovementscompared to
previous generations.
LG Display has developed a new LCD technology called
MLCDwhich has the particularity of using4
sous-pixelsinstead of 3, as on traditional LCD displays.
There is a red, green, blue, and white subpixel, and this set constitutes a
pixel.
Thanks to thissous-pixel blanc, the pixel in an MLCD screen
requiresless backlighting powerto display
the same image and therefore aenergy gain.
In addition, this allows the screen to offer abrightness again
stronger, which is practical in certain situations such as
viewing the screen in direct sunlight.
Apple may well have negotiated for this type of screen last year when
it was believed to be purchasing OLED screens from LG. Result, the 6.1-inch iPhone
could have avery good quality screen, with a
good autonomyand alower price than iPhone X/X
Plus.

another LCD display technology calledFull
Active LCDfrom Japan Display, which allows very thin borders and a
resolution of 2,160 x 1080 pixels with an aspect ratio of 18:9.

expensive, but without compromise! To be continued.
