We mentioned in a previous article what OLED screens work, whose basics date back to 1987, and we mentioned the difference between them and LCD screens. You can see this. Link. And since the world of technology is constantly evolving, it is impossible to be certain that it will stop at a specific limit or category. And this you see tangible in every area. As we know, this year Apple plans to use OLED screens and LCD screens New iPhone devicesIn the future, however, we may see a major shift from Apple to using MicroLED displays. What is the story of these strongly awaited screens? And why is Apple so interested in it?
These screens were announced at CES 2018 by Samsung when it presented a TV under the name The Wall, or the wall, based on that technology, with a size of 146 inches.
MicroLED screens are similar to OLED screens in the way they work, that is, they do not need backlight, but rather rely on pixel lighting, but they are not organic lighting and are basically made up of a group of LEDs, but they are much smaller than usual. The LED lights are designed on a TFT backplane (Thin-Film-Transistor) or liquid crystal display with a thin transistor, providing the LED with power, lighting, and the time and location of that illumination. Because there is no organic layer like OLED screens, MicroLED screens can have a longer life and have no risk of pixel burn.
Companies tried to provide such screens before in small devices such as phones or even televisions, as they are not born today, but were founded in 2000, but these companies faced obstacles, including the very small size of lamps, whose size does not exceed the radius of a hair. Therefore, it was only used in large screens in sports stadiums and elsewhere.

And with this infinitely small size of a single hand, this precision in aligning it closely next to each other and combining those red, blue and green colors to form a single pixel. So you can imagine screens with high resolution and color, those screens will support 25 million colors and will open the field to 8K screens instead of 4K.
Apple and its efforts to develop this technology
Last week, Apple attended a conference in Taiwan, where it held meetings with at least two companies about MicroLED technology, according to Economic Daily News.
OLED screens are the best screens out there now because of their quality in color and brightness, and the control to make them bent or folded as desired to create different designs. But many companies are now excited about the new MicrOLED type that can provide great images, talk about it, and which can be adapted and create large and small screens with ease.
In fact, MicroLED technology can provide great opportunities for Apple, at least in the design aspect, as it is considered the thinnest, lightest and longest life, so it can be used in completely new iPhone designs.
But the biggest problem with this type of screen is the high cost and difficulty of producing them at the present time. Although many industry experts see it as an inevitable alternative to OLED screens, it does not seem that soon, as OLED screens are still expensive to produce.
However, according to a Bloomberg report this year, Apple and Samsung are very excited about these screens. And other reports said earlier this year, that Apple is developing a secret facility in California to research and develop those future screens expected to be seen in the iPhone and Apple Watch devices.

The most important thing Apple is walking on Samsung errors
Hi
Dear teacher, can you work because he explained the difference between OLED and OMED screens
Greetings
To be honest, Apple deserves recognition
Thank you 🌹
I hope the brothers in iPhone Islam will tell us in a beautiful analytical article why Apple does not establish factories for it in some cheap countries and manufactures parts of its own devices instead of buying them from other companies and paying the manufacturing cost + profits for those companies. And its complete control instead of needing other companies that may exert pressures or obstacles on them in one way or another?
What are the obstacles preventing Apple from doing this?
If there are no hindrances then Apple's philosophy on this matter, and why would you rather buy than build?
Questions that need to be answered and deciphered the secrets of this topic Thank you 🌹
Brother Majid٬ There is a subject we studied at the university called cost accounting, and it is concerned with studying the company's decisions in the event of a desire to change or increase a product. Does it make it itself or buy it from an external company - in terms of costs - and do not be tempted by the fact that Apple is easier for it to launch a factory to produce its products, but its cooperation may be with Factories are more abundant for them, so think about the weight of the factories. These are more accurate in productivity, meaning the error rate is lower. If Apple decided to operate a new factory as well, the factories may have paid huge sums to study this technology specializing in them and for the transfer of OLED screens, these are all expenses that Apple will pay that may increase the price of its iPhone Or it reduces its profit margin and increases the risks of equipment and errors.
An example of this is that you have a coffee shop and are thinking about hiring a chef specializing in sweets. You will need a skilled person, ovens, pastries, and various devices and a high cost. The best is to supply baked goods and sweets from a specialized company for higher quality and reduce the cost for you ...
I hope my answer will help you
Excellent from the giant Apple company always in the foreground
Soon, we will see the Korean giant enter the field of this kind of screen ...
We also do not forget the Chinese companies that will also enter the field.
As for Apple, it does not manufacture anything, as everything is imported.
It is true that Apple does not manufacture, but it designs a product for whoever wants it, and other companies make for it, and most companies profit from the parts that Apple wants more than its profit for its products
I hope that the mobile screen will evolve beyond that and I expect in the coming days it will make a big leap
I hope that the micro led screen will be developed, but you know what the problem is. The human eye deals with photons of light. As for the screens suffer from pixels, since we have not come up with an alternative, problems will remain, and as graphic professionals know when designing something, you will find the colors come out differently from one screen to another even though they are working With color grades, the secret of Apple's interest in micro-oled technology is that Apple adopts its own color standards, and you can try that. Edit a video with the MacBook Pro and adjust the colors and contrast. If the video appears wonderful, you will see it in all screens wonderful and through my experience it was shown to me that Apple, Sony and HP have them. Wonderful standards in contrast and colors. I grind devices and settle on the aforementioned companies. Apple screens have the advantage of white color, so I can distinguish this matter, and what I am surprised about is as if the Apple screen relies on backlight like sunlight. The eye never gets tired. As for Samsung screens with wonderful colors, the eyes tire quickly. And if HP puts the full screen light on, it does not tire the eye, I don’t know what is the secret of the Apple, HP and Sony cameras that give great depth as if the 3D video
I am surprised by the fact that Apple is one of the largest technology companies in the world, if it is not the largest and one of the most financially powerful companies, if not the strongest, but it does not manufacture anything, not even a single nail in its devices, and it does not own any factory and all parts of its devices are manufactured by other companies, unlike other companies such as the giant Samsung, for example, and this leads to Apple remaining under pressure and control by those companies that manufacture its hardware parts ?!
Would it not be more appropriate for Apple to have its own factories to manufacture all parts of its equipment and not be under the control of any other company, as it would be less costly on it in financial terms, since all of these manufacturers would not earn from it huge sums of money above the basic cost of manufacturing? .
I do not know the truth, Apple's philosophy in this matter, especially as it has sufficient liquidity and more to establish and equip the largest factories in the world, and it does not lack anything at all to do so. Thank you for the useful article 🌹
Why does Apple manufacture its needs and there are companies donating what it wants now to open factories near the best materials to facilitate and reduce the cost of production.
My dear brother
It is true that Apple does not manufacture anything
But it designs its products on its own, for example the iPhone X screen designed by Apple and made by Samsung in its factories, meaning that Apple benefits from cheap labor in South Korea, because the labor force in the United States is expensive and taxes are high, and the price of the iPhone will rise a lot.
So product design is important
Here is another example
Apple A12 processor designed and engineered by Apple which is superior to all processors will be manufactured by tsmc
But it belongs to Apple and is exclusive to Apple devices
The main reason is labor
A Chinese worker is paid roughly less than 200 dollars
The worker in the United States is $ 1200
This is known, my brother Ramzi, but my question is why the design and manufacturing are not all done by Apple in its factories in a cheap country and under its supervision instead of being bought by other companies and paying the manufacturing cost + profits for those companies
No, my brother, Staff, Apple can set up factories in cheap countries with cheap labor, and the factory is owned and under its direct supervision instead of buying parts from other companies and paying the cost of manufacturing + profits to those companies
Who removes Apple from Trump? And the writer officially declares that the mico LED screen will be on the next iPhone, hahaha, how is that, when rumors say that one device with an OLED screen and two LCD devices !!!
The battery, then the battery, then the battery
Haha, except Apple, as it reduces the size of the battery every year
Wait another five years ahead before Apple uses it
😄👍🏻
