iphone 7 lcd panel manufacturer

South Korea"s LG and the panel-making unit of Samsung will supply organic light emitting diode (OLED) screens for Apple"s iPhones, the Electronic Times reported on Wednesday citing unnamed sources.

Samsung Display, which currently supplies OLED smartphone panels to parent Samsung Electronics and Chinese vendors, is likely getting bigger volumes from Apple than LG Display, the paper said.

LG Display has ceased making LCD iPhone screens, and abandoned hopes of doing so in the future, according to a supply-chain report. Separately, the company has stated that it may cease making its own smartphones.

LG once rivaled Samsung as a key supplier of iPhone screens, and Apple benefited from having two companies able to meet both technical and volume requirements. Two suppliers provided redundancy in Apple’s supply-chain, as well as giving the company negotiating strength when it came to allocating orders to the two companies.

Things changed when Apple began transitioning to OLED with the iPhone X. LG was late to recognize the industry trend from LCD to OLED, and was ill-prepared for Apple’s switch. That left Samsung as the sole supplier for Apple’s flagship phones for some time.

LG Display has halted production of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels for iPhones, TheElec has learned […] LG Display halted iPhone LCD production at its AP3 line at Gumi in the third quarter. The line also stopped making panels for other phones as well in the fourth quarter.

For LG Display, the LCD line for iPhones has been low in profitability. Apple also used organic light emitting diode (OLED) panels instead for its iPhone 12 series. Sales of iPhones with OLED is also expected to exceed that of those with LCD panels this year.

Apple’s LCD model, iPhone SE, which launched last year, will use LCD panels by JDI and Sharp instead. LG Display had previously attempted to supply LCD for the 2019-model iPhone SE but failed.

The factory which made the LCD screens is reportedly being repurposed to make display panels for cars. LG is the current market leader in automobile displays of nine inches or larger.

Every iPhone LCD screen would go through 43 processes tests and elevate out 2nd first-class inspection to assure all the functions well according to our standards before logistics.

Have you ever installed an original refurbished iPhone 7, 7+, 8 or 8+ LCD into your customer’s phone only to find that the touch isn’t working? Or perhaps the touch was okay when you checked it, but your customer still comes back the next day saying it has stopped working? It’s easy to blame this problem on a faulty screen, but it may not be as simple as that.

There are three companies who make LCDs for the iPhone 7 and 7+; LG, Toshiba, and Sharp. Although the LCDs themselves are made to Apple’s strict specification, compatibility between iPhone devices varies greatly. If you look at the 3D touch panel, there is a long serial code which might not look like it means anything but can be decoded to the following. The first three letters identify the maker of the LCD and 3D touch panel and the remaining digits are the serial- unique to that LCD. This information is also contained in the QR code on the back of the LCD and is recorded in Apple’s GSX server against the IMEI and the serial number of the device. This is one of the ways Apple can tell if the iPhone has ever had the LCD changed.

It would be fair to say that if Toshiba manufactured the LCD they would also manufacture the 3D touch panel that is attached to the LCD. This would be the same for LG and Sharp. When the iPhone is made in the factory and the first LCD is installed, Apple uses a special calibration machine to calibrate the iPhone to work with the LCD. We believe a similar machine is used if you ever take an iPhone direct to Apple for a screen replacement. At this point, it doesn’t matter whether the iPhone gets an LG, Toshiba or Sharp LCD as the calibration machine will make sure it is configured correctly. Where the problem occurs is when the screen is replaced by a 3rd party- who certainly won’t have access to the calibration machine.

If the iPhone was calibrated for a Toshiba or Sharp LCD and you cross install between these 2 manufacturers there is roughly a 5% chance of bad touch. If the iPhone was originally calibrated for an LG LCD and you cross install with a Toshiba or Sharp LCD then there is a 50% chance of touch problems because LG’s sensitivity range distribution is very different to these 2 manufacturers. Without having the magic calibration box to tell the iPhone you’ve installed a different manufacturer’s LCD you are going to have trouble unless you install an LG LCD. This probably explains why, if you install an LCD and experience touch problems, then install another LCD and it works, you’d automatically assume a bad LCD. However, it is possible you’ve just switched manufacturer and got lucky. If you used the suspected bad LCD in the next repair it would more than likely work with no issues.

To add further problems to the equation, it is not uncommon for refurbishers to replace the 3D touch panel from another LCD. It is very easy to damage the home button flex cable as- specifically on the iPhone 7- Apple has designed it so that it tears easily. If the LCD is working, many refurbishers would salvage a good 3D touch panel from a bad LCD. This is great because they’re using an original Apple part instead of a Chinese copy, but if they have a Toshiba LCD and install an LG 3D touch panel it can cause all sorts of problems.

It is said that if you keep the LCD and 3D touch panels the same you shouldn’t encounter any problems unless you’re working on an LG calibrated iPhone. If you install an LG 3D touch panel into a Toshiba LCD around 10% won’t work. If you install a Toshiba 3D touch panel into an LG LCD then 60% won’t work. Unfortunately, we don’t have any data for mixing Sharp LCDs or 3D touch panels.

So, in summary, it is very easy to assume the LCD is faulty because it has touch problems when it is installed in an iPhone. However, there is the possibility that external factors could be causing the issue. It would be prudent to try and swap the LCD on a like for like basis and match the 3 letter code. If you do experience touch problems with a refurbished LCD then before returning it as faulty, try it in your next repair and it may just work.

With its all-glass front screen, dropping your iPhone 7 Plus could lead to cracks and scratches. If your screen breaks, it doesn’t mean that you need a new phone — an iPhone 7 Plus LCD screen replacement might solve the problem. Since the screen is such a crucial part of the phone, it’s important to know what to look for in a replacement on eBay.

Touch capability: Most of the iPhone 7 Plus functions are controlled by the touchscreen; when you’re shopping for a new screen, make sure that it includes the LCD and the touch assembly as a single unit.

Retina technology: The iPhone 7 Plus LCD screen that came with the original Apple device was made with the brand’s Retina high-definition technology. To ensure the same performance, make sure that your replacement screen is also a 5.5-inch Retina display.

Connectors: The iPhone 7 Plus screen uses a digitizer cable with two separate connectors. Compare the replacement screen’s connectors to your device to make sure you’re getting the correct match. Keep in mind that while the iPhone 6 Plus screen is the same size, it uses different connectors — make sure to get a model that’s 7 Plus-specific.

Home button: Some replacement screens come with a home button; others simply have a hole that fits your iPhone’s original home button. If your device has a cracked or damaged button, it’s important to find a screen that includes a replacement button.

Frame: The edge of the iPhone 7 Plus screen is reinforced by a slim frame that matches the color of the case. As you’re looking for a new one, make sure the frame is the same shade as the back cover of your phone.

Some of the replacement screens you find on eBay are used models; these products can be cheaper than new models, particularly when it comes to Apple-branded parts. Before you buy a used part, ensure that it’s completely free of scratches or cracks, as they can affect the functionality of the touchscreen. Then, ensure that the screen has the correct cables for the iPhone 7 Plus. If it’s working and in pristine condition, you can usually buy a used screen with confidence.

You may have noticed the new additions to our iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus line-up. These are new AA and incell options labeled DTP (LG) and C11 (Toshiba). If you’re new to the iPhone repair industry, you may not have come across these codes yet. However, since 7 and 8 series repairs are more common than they used to be, it’s important to be aware of these codes in order to get the correct part for your repair.

Additionally, issues can be complicated further by some display refurbishers who mix and match touch panels and LCDs during the refurbishment process. Imagine the possible problems if you had a Toshiba touch panel paired with a Sharp LCD and installed onto a LG-calibrated phone!

As for fully-aftermarket screens (such as our HQC and Premium/Premium Plus qualities), they typically do not have this compatibility issue. Touch programming on aftermarket parts is developed from the ground up, and tested on a wide variety of iPhones. As a result, compatibility issues tend to be very low.

We hope you find this article helpful in picking the right part for your repair. To reiterate, this issue mostly just applies to iPhone 7 Plus and 8 Plus devices, and only when using refurbished or “best quality” replacement screens (such as our AA line of screens) or any screens made using recycled original parts.
