The blogger @i冰宇宙 revealed that the next-generation screen technology that Samsung recently demonstrated—the all around full screen with zero borders—will become the trend of the mobile phone industry in the future.
Manufacturers have never stopped pursuing the full screen of mobile phones, starting from water drop screens and notch screens, transitioning to the stage of mechanical lifting lenses, digging screens, and then to the technology of under-screen lenses. Now Samsung will launch the zero-frame full-screen technology and further enhance the UPC technology (under-screen lens). Starting from the screen frame and front lens, the full-screen technology will reach a new peak.
Previously, Korean media Thelec stated that Samsung and LG are developing iPhone OLED screens without front borders, with the goal of setting the border width to zero.
There are reports that Apple wants to achieve an edge-to-edge screen while maintaining the iPhone’s flat screen and angular design of the middle frame. This is the main reason why the iPhone has not adopted a curved screen.
In addition, because the curved part of the curved film will produce a “magnifying glass effect” optically, which will affect the look and feel. Compared with straight screens, curved screens may have weaker drop resistance. Both of these points are taboo for Apple.
Samsung, as the king of the Android lineup, is a competitor with Apple in the field of mobile phones. But because Samsung has a supply chain for screens and processors, the two sides still maintain a long-term cooperative relationship. If Samsung successfully develops the “zero-frame full-screen technology”, then the iPhone is expected to be the first to carry it.
