For owners of Apple Watches, there is some good news. According to supply chain sources, the next Series 10 watch could have a noticeable improvement in battery life because of new display technology, which is something worth considering if you're looking to upgrade.
Korean technology magazine According to The Elec, low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) technology will be used in the Series 10's improved OLED display.
Presently, the Apple Watch relies on less effective technology in other areas of its OLED screen and uses LTPO in just a few of them.
The important lesson is this: Apple Watch Series 10 is expected to use LTPO more extensively. This shift from LTPS to oxide in the driver transistors translates to these display-pixel-connected transistors being made from oxide.
LTPO OLEDs utilize oxides to minimize leakage current, and this new approach signifies a broader application of oxides within the display. Manufacturers specializing in oxide technology are likely to benefit from this change. This translates to a longer battery life, which is a major for most users.
The Series 10 watch's updated features, it should be noted, may outweigh the efficiency improvements brought about by the new display. For those who adore the wearable, however, the prospect of an extended-lasting Apple Watch is welcome news.
Since the Apple Watch is currently the best-selling smartwatch worldwide, it is simple to understand who the company's devoted following consists.
