Apple Opens Secret Laboratory in Taiwan to Develop New Screens
- 8 years ago
Apple Inc. opened a production laboratory in northern Taiwan where engineers are developing new display technologies, according to people with knowledge of the facility.
The Apple building in Longtan has at least 50 engineers and other workers creating new screens for devices including iPhones and iPads, the people said, asking not to be identified because the details aren’t public.
Apple began operating the lab this year as it aims to make products thinner, lighter, brighter and more energy-efficient.
Engineers are developing more-advanced versions of the liquid-crystal displays currently used in iPhones, iPads and Mac personal computers, the people said.
Apple also is keen to move to organic light-emitting diodes, which are even thinner and don’t require a backlight, they said.
