Japan Display could be providing a hint of iPhone attractions to come.
The
company announced on Thursday that it has developed a 5.5-inch-wide
Quad HD, aka, WQHD, display with a resolution of 1,440x 2,560 pixels as a
display format for "leading-edge smartphones."
JDI (Japan Display, Inc.) -- a major supplier of iPhone displays -- said it will begin shipping the 5.5-inch LCD in April.
Maybe not coincidentally, Tokyo-based business publication Nikkei reported on Friday
that Japan Display will be one of the suppliers for Apple's next-gen
iPhone. The report cited both 4.7- and 5.5-inch displays (though it
didn't specify which supplier was making which display).
And the
Nikkei report cited two other data points that could coincide with Japan
Display's announcement. One: mass production of displays could begin in
the April quarter. And, two: the display resolution will be
"significantly" higher than that of the iPhone 5S' 1,136x640-pixel
resolution.
Paul Semenza, a senior vice president at NPD
DisplaySearch, said there's a chance that the Japan Display screen
described above could be used in the iPhone 6.
But he offered a few caveats.
"Typically,
Apple wants 'first dibs' on the new part, so it's a little surprising
that JDI is announcing this now...We don't expect to see the iPhone 6
until 2H 14," he said in response to an email query.
He continued.
"There is also a possibility of another spec -- a 4.7" 1,600x900
[display]. As always, Apple runs parallel development programs, to test
out which is the best approach or just to try to confuse the rest of
the world," he said.
Semenza is referring to the smaller of two rumored iPhone 6 versions.
Last year, DisplaySearch suggested some other resolutions
for 4.7- and 5.5-inch-class (the latter it listed as 5.7-inch at the
time) displays. Both had lower resolutions than the JDI display cited
above.
And it's also not clear if the specifications for the
specific display that JDI announced would match up with Apple's
display-resolution scheme.
Separately, Digitimes reported Friday that the 5.5-inch JDI display could be going to "China-based handset vendors."
