Apple secret laboratory to develop new screens

Apple opened a new laboratory in Taiwan to develop new screen technology for future devices. 

The lab is in Longtan with reportedly 50 engineers tasked to carry out Apple’s screen development. The engineers were recruited from AU Optronics Corp. and Qualcomm Inc., who used to own the building.

Apple are trying to become self reliant and not use parts from the likes of Samsung, LG and Sharp for their screens. According to Bloomberg Apple are going to use OLED displays, OLED displays offer better colour contrast and the ability to shut off unused pixels, which offers deeper black. Not to mention it’s power efficient. OLED televisions are extremely thin, so we can expect thinner iPhones and of course better displays.
