Passing the Next Generation of Apple Watches to Change Screen Suppliers May Increase Production
[Abstract] Due to manufacturing process and supply considerations, it is expected that Apple Watch Series 3 will be released this fall or on the screen will be changed to GL solution, and the supplier may no longer be Hanhong Technology.
Tencent Digital (Michael) Apple has just released the Apple Watch Series 5 five months ago, and now the Apple Watch Series 3 rumors have arrived.
Recently, the internal news from the previous two generations of Apple Watch screens supplier Chunhong Technology stated that on the Apple Watch Series 3, Apple will use the GL (glass-film) solution to replace the existing TOL (Touch On Lens) solution. However, it should be noted that this does not seem to be based on how advanced the GL scheme itself is (maybe the border is narrower and stronger), and more likely because the production process of the TOL scheme panel is complex and it is difficult to complete the supply of Apple Watch in a quality and quantity manner. Demand for goods. After all, considering the brightness alone, the 1000nit ultra-high brightness of Apple Watch Series 2 is already very good.
However, we must know that in the past year, Zhe Hong Technology, which provides the TOL solution panel for the Apple Watch Series 2, has not made a fortune. In 2017, the company will focus on OELD for smartphones. In the display business, this is obviously a good idea under the tide of OLED.
In addition, following the withdrawal of Hong Technology, Taiwanese company General Interface Solution or Hong Kong manufacturer Biel Crystal Manufactory will serve as an alternative supplier to provide GL solution display for Apple Watch Series 3. Large-scale mass production is expected from the second half of the year. It is not difficult to infer that the third-generation Apple Watch may not be released until this fall.
