Apple and Yuantai Technology to create a multi-screen iPhone 2022-05-10 09:04:13

The industry has reported that Apple and the electronic paper leader Yuan Tai are equipped with two secondary screens made of electronic paper on the back of the iPhone, with the original front home screen, becoming a multi-screen iPhone, through the advantages of electronic paper eye protection and low power consumption, adding iPhone gas.

The relevant iPhone prototype photos have been circulated in the network exposure, and the industry research and judgment is not far from the road to listing, and the fastest and brightest will be released in the next year. Due to the high practicality, it can not only motivate iPhone shipments, but also because it is equipped with two pieces of electronic paper, the shipment volume of Yuantai is twice that of the iPhone host, and business opportunities have exploded.

For related rumors, Yuan Tai said that it does not comment on customers and single products. Li Zhenghao, chairman of Yuantai, stressed that the application of Yuantai's electronic paper is becoming more and more extensive, no longer limited to Square's e-book readers, electronic tags, etc., but can present mobile phone lids, headphones, etc., and can have electronic paper displays.

Li Zhenghao pointed out that how these innovative applications seeking cooperation should be realized will test the Yuantai team and partners. As for many cooperation cases under negotiation, they cannot be disclosed because they have not yet been implemented and publicly listed.

According to the multi-screen iPhone photos circulating on the network, Apple carries two secondary screens made of electronic paper on the back of the iPhone, with the original front home screen, becoming a multi-screen iPhone, one of which is mainly used to display information such as power, network status, volume, Bluetooth device connection status, etc.; the other is used to display text messages, which greatly reduces the main screen power consumption, blue light and other problems.

Yuantai's recent production capacity has been in short supply, and its performance has been very good, with a net profit after tax of NT$1.461 billion in the first quarter, a quarterly increase of 7% and an annual increase of 30.8%, rewriting a new high in the past 42 seasons. Consolidated revenue for the first four months was NT$8.338 billion, an increase of 42.2% year-on-year.

Since the world's current only Yuantai has the ability to mass-produce electronic paper and import a large number of commercialization, the industry has judged that the iPhone electronic paper screen order is taken by Yuantai alone, because there are two sub-screens, for Yuantai, the shipment will be twice the number of iPhone hosts, and the business opportunities are huge, which will become a huge momentum to assist the performance of Yuantai.

Yuantai already has the energy to create a mobile phone to import electronic paper sub-screen, many years ago, the Russian telecommunications company subsidiary Yota launched the "YotaPhone", on the yuantai to provide electronic paper, detonating the trend of dual-screen mobile phones. Yota was later acquired by mainland investors, and later cooperated with MediaTek to launch a dual-screen mobile phone for mainland manufacturer Siswoo.

In addition, Japanese telecommunications companies DoCoMo and Hisense, pushing the ultra-thin and light mobile phone with E Ink electronic paper as the screen, commonly known as the "card machine", is also selling hot in the market, it mainly attacks the silver-haired and children's market, simple interface and thin and light volume, becoming the dark horse in the feature phone. (Source: Taiwan Economic Daily)
