Next iPhone ‘will have thinner screen’: WSJ

	Next iPhone 'will have thinner screen': WSJ The next-generation iPhone will feature a thinner display that incorporates in-cell technology according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. In-cell technology would mean the iPhone's touch sensors and LCD are combined into a single layer, doing away with the need to have a separate touchscreen layer. As well as enabling thinner screens, in-cell panels are also thought to be cheaper to produce than the current two-layer set-up. LCD screen-makers Sharp, LG Display, and Japan Display are mass producing the in-cell panels for the screen, according to the Journal. Apple's use of in-cell technology is seen as part of its efforts to take on Samsung's own push on OLED technology. OLED features in Samsung's current flagship device, the Galaxy S III, which boasts a 4.8-inch screen and a design that shaves a few millimeters off the iPhone's thickness. The thinner screen could come as part of a move by Apple to increase the screen size of the next iPhone: the Journal reported in May that the forthcoming device will sport a 4-inch display. Previous generations of the iPhone, despite several design changes, have retained a 3.5-inch screen since the device's debut in 2007. The next-generation iPhone is expected to launch in time for the Christmas holiday season, in or around October.	From: DownloadSoftwares Views: 0 0 ratings
