Does a future iPhone have a flexible display that bends? IPhone parts manufacturers announce new material panels

We announced that a supplier supplying parts for the iPhone has developed a "bending display" that gives flexibility by using a material different from conventional materials. The possibility that a next-generation iPhone to be announced in the future will be equipped with a flexibly touch panel has emerged.

Taiwanese touch panel manufacturerTPKIs supplying iPhone parts to Apple, especially on iPhone 6s etc.3D TouchThe technology is supported. TPK CEO Michael Chung said, "We used fine silver fibersSilver nanowireWe are preparing for product development that adopted technology ". Most of touch panels for smartphones and tablets are hard and unbendable materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO) glass at present, but Mr. Chung said, "In the future mobile terminal displays will be metal thin films or silver We will move to a flexible and flexible flexible touch panel based on nanowire technology. "


TPK has acquired 200 patents on silver nanowires, Chung commented, "Flexible touch panels using silver nanowires will become mainstream within two years." According to Mr. Chung, in the latter half of 2016 it is expected that products with a flexible touch panel using silver nanowire technology will appear.

If TPK supplies a new touch panel to Apple and a touch panel using silver nanowire technology is installed in the new iPhone, it is possible to improve the durability of the terminal by taking advantage of the flexible characteristics of silver nanowire. Furthermore, it has brightness which is easier to see under external light than before, it is expected to increase the flexibility of terminal design because it flexes flexibly. Apple's patented "Turn iPhoneThere are possibilities that unexpectedly unexpectedly designed products such as, like, are expected, and it will be expected to announce new products in the future.
