APPLE說:因為OLED產能不理想,暫時延遲新的採用OLED螢幕!

消息來源

Apple本來預計在2010年第一季採用9.7"的三星OLED液晶螢幕來做電子產品,!
但是現在OLED使用的產線還不成熟!成本無法降到500美金以下!
所以可能要等到2011年中的時候!才有可能能看到APPLE採用OLED螢幕的系統電腦


After months of reports claiming we'd see the Apple tablet in Q1 of next year, the latest rumor is that the device has been delayed until the second half of 2010. Oh, and Apple is also said to be developing a high end, OLED version that will retail for significantly more.

The latest gossip comes to us direct from Digitimes, which cites sources from component makers who say Apple has decided to switch some components and plans to launch a model using a 9.7-inch OLED panel from LG Display. These sources went on to point out that LG is currently making OLED panels using its 4.5G production line and the company's five-year $500 million contract with Apple includes supply of OLED panels.

Given that the cost of one of the OLED panels rings in at around $500 and panel costs normally account for about 30 percent of the device's total cost, the sources estimated that Apple's OLED tablet will cost between $1,500 and $1,700. This price is expected to drop to around $1,200 by the second half of next year, with the retail price for the device expected to be $2,000.
