Japanese electronics manufacturer Sharp’s senior executive has officially confirmed that the next generation of iPhones, the 10th anniversary iPhone 8 family, will come with organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens.
“The iPhone has been evolving and now it is switching from LTPS (low-temperature poly-silicon) to OLED panels,” Sharp President Tai Jeng-wu reportedly told students at Tatung University, his alma mater.
“We don’t know whether Apple’s OLED iPhones will be a hit, but if Apple doesn’t walk down this path and transform itself, there will be no innovation. It is a crisis but it is also an opportunity,” Tai of Sharp, whose parent company is Hon Hai Precision otherwise known as Foxconn, said.
