Samsung Display will develop 1000ppi ultra-high resolution OLEDs for smartphones
On May 12, 2021, Samsung Display announced that it will lead the South Korean project to develop oxide thin-film transistor (TFT) technology for 1,000ppi OLED panels, reports TheElec.
Officials of Samsung Display said that their goal is to develop a new type of oxide TFT thin film transistor that will support electron movements ten times faster than existing products. According to the info, this technology is expected to be successfully developed in 2024.
Besides, Samsung Display is also committed to reducing TFT power consumption and manufacturing costs. However, the current display density of OLED screens used in smartphones can reach up to 643ppi, which is 4K screens equipped with Sony Xperia Pro and Xperia 1 III.
If Samsung gets success in its research and development of this technology, then it will make the screen of smart devices more delicate, while greatly improving the display effect of smartwatches, VR head-mounted displays, and other products.
As per the previous reports, Samsung Display and LG Display announced that they will provide flexible OLED panels for the Apple iPhone 13 that will launch later this year, of which Samsung will provide 110 million for Apple.

Apple faces US DOJ lawsuit over alleged iPhone monopoly
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against tech giant Apple, accusing the company of maintaining an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market. The DOJ accuses Apple of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The suit claims Apple has restricted third-party app growth, limited cloud and game-streaming services, forced continued iPhone purchases for messaging, diminished non-Apple smartwatch functionality, and prevented third-party digital wallet use.

In a press conference, US Attorney General Merrick Garland highlighted issues such as the App Store’s fee system, degraded third-party accessory experiences, and relies heavily on Messages. The case, backed by 16 state Attorneys General, could have significant implications for Apple’s business practices and the broader tech industry.
The US DOJ said in a release about the suit:
“Apple exercises its monopoly power to extract more money from consumers, developers, content creators, artists, publishers, small businesses, and merchants, among others.”
Apple also responded by defending its innovation and user-focused approach, warning that the lawsuit could hinder its ability to deliver the seamless technology integration users expect. Check the entire response of Apple below.
“At Apple, we innovate every day to make technology people love — designing products that work seamlessly together, protect people’s privacy and security, and create a magical experience for our users. This lawsuit threatens who we are and the principles that set Apple products apart in fiercely competitive markets.
If successful, it would hinder our ability to create the kind of technology people expect from Apple — where hardware, software, and services intersect. It would also set a dangerous precedent, empowering the government to take a heavy hand in designing people’s technology. We believe this lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the law, and we will vigorously defend against it.”
