By Amber JonesThis year, Apple Inc. will be stealing the spotlight again with its upcoming iPhone iteration, dubbed as iPhone 8. Marking the 10th anniversary of the iPhone series, Apple is expected to offer new technologies on the said iPhone 8 device, which is suggested to sport an all-glass design, improved dual-camera module and no physical Home Button. Now, a new concept on the iPhone 8 revealed a dual-curved OLED display, according to a display expert.
The tech market is anticipating the next Apple iPhone this year, as several speculations are already released on the iPhone 8's hardware, design and features. According to some sources, the iPhone 8 will be marketed as the iPhone X. The "X" is said to be appropriate since this year marks the 10th year of Apple's smartphone.
One of the highlights that will be revealed on the 2017 iPhone will be its new OLED display, MNA reported. The next flagship iPhone will shift from LCD display to OLED technology because of its numerous benefits. Founder of DisplayMate Technologies Raymond Soneira shed some light on how will iPhone 8's OLED display will function.
According to the Display expert's report, people might see the new 2017 iPhone sporting the OLED technology because of its thin design, lighter framework, and smaller bezel that promises a near rimless edge-to-edge display.
The iPhone 8 OLED hardware display specs, which will be similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 display, will deliver an aspect ratio of 2.0 from the current 1.78, maintaining the same overall outer geometric form factor as the iPhone 7. This could push the device's resolution to 2,160 x 1080 or 2880 x 1440.
In terms of pixel resolution, Apple Inc. will retain its 326 PPI (pixel per inch) Retina Display introduced in iPhone 4. Soneira sees the new iPhone 8 display incorporating the OLED technology's high peak brightness of greater than 1,000 nits, which will improve HDR High Dynamic Range content and display performance in ambient lighting.
The curved iPhone display can escalate the tech market for Apple, which brands its high-end displays on their iPhones, coupled with its patent for curved screen displays.
