Tai, CEO Sharp, at a ceremony at Tatung University told students that – “The iPhone has been evolving and now it is switching from LTPS (low-temperature poly-silicon) to OLED panels,We don’t know whether Apple’s OLED iPhones will be a hit, but if Apple doesn’t walk down this path and transform itself, there will be no innovation. It is a crisis but it is also an opportunity,”

OLED displays are said to be sharper, more vibrant and pleasing to the human eye and a lot of handset manufacturers such as HTC, LG and especially Samsung have been introducing OLED displays in their smartphones. Samsung is known to include displays on almost all of its mid-range to flagship devices. Apple too introduced OLED displays in its Apple Watch last year.
