In the process of talking about Sharp's fate after gaining control of the company, Foxconn management hinted that the most likely to support in IGZO technology, which combines materials such as indium, gallium, and zinc oxide. The technology used by Sharp for the production of displays of all diagonals - from small screens to smartphones to tablets, displays for PCs and televisions. Active-matrix substrate IGZO characterized by a high density of transistors that is necessary for high-resolution,
and relatively modest power consumption.
Meanwhile, rumors still talking about Apple's intention to release a smartphone based on OLED-screen and, for the production of such screens, Sharp has been acquired under the wing of Foxconn. According to the publication on Nikkei website, at one of its factory in Japan, Sharp held its first demonstration of a flexible OLED screen that is based on the active-matrix substrate IGZO.
OLED Sharp display has a resolution of 540 × 960 pixels (RGB) and the diagonal of 3.4 inches, which gives us the location of the pixel density 326 dpi. The color display is pretty good coverage - 93% of NTSC scheme. In active mode, the display consumes about 0.4 watts. It weighs 2 grams, and has a thickness of 0.07 mm. All the necessary drivers for the display - power supply and coordination - are located on the same substrate and do not require separate discrete elements.
Allowable panel bending radius is 1 cm. It is argued that it is possible to produce not only curved displays, but also a device to bend or collapse the display.
According to our Japanese colleagues, Foxconn company intends to invest in Sharp OLED production in the next four years about 200 billion yen -. It's about $ 1.84 billion. Related Products :
