apple reportedly has a new development
facility in Taiwan but the company would
probably prefer you didn't know that
what Bloomberg it was me tried to talk
to the receptionist we talked to the
security guards and they were they kept
mum a nun who and who's who the building
belonged to citing sources familiar with
the matter Bloomberg has determined at
least 50 engineers are working out of
the Taiwan facility the company is
reportedly crafting new displays for its
products in typical apple fashion
redesigned displays would make for
thinner and lighter devices with
improved battery life go figure Apple's
engineers may also be working on organic
light-emitting diode or OLED displays
oled displays are hyped for their near
accurate black levels and energy
efficiency why the better picture well
it's because each pixel can be shut off
when there's no current flowing the
pixel appears completely black and
that's why OLED displays are more energy
efficient as well each pixel in an oled
display can be switched on or off and
the screen doesn't require a backlight
if there's no power running to the
pixels that are supposed to display
blacklist power is being used overall as
far as Apple using OLED displays in
future devices there some precedent here
the Apple watch touts an OLED display it
makes sense battery efficiency is
incredibly important in a wearable
device but hey it wouldn't hurt for all
of apples devices to have a longer
battery life especially if it means not
having to strap a battery case to the
back of your iPhone 4 News II I'm Lea
