Following
the appearance of images showing an assembled iPhone 5 recently, Sharp has
reportedly revealed that the screen displays for the next-generation iPhone is
set to be delivered to Apple within the month.
The Japanese
manufacturer made the revelation during a press briefing that was held in Tokyo
recently. The announcement was made by Takashi Okuda, the president of Sharp,
who indicated that the screen displays for the next smartphone offering of
Apple will be delivered within August.
Although the
smartphone was not named, it is presumably the much-awaited iPhone 5. Even as
Okuda made the revelation, he did not give any details on the screen display of
the iPhone 5 including the screen size of the upcoming device.
Earlier
reports had speculated on the possibility that the upcoming iPhone 5 will
feature a four-inch screen display, which will make it bigger compared to the
screen size of the current model of the device. Although the upcoming iPhone 5
will have a bigger screen display, it will reportedly have a similar width as
the current model of the device, which would make it taller compared to the
existing model of the iPhone.
The upcoming
iPhone 5 may use the IGZO technology of Sharp, although it remains uncertain
since no specifications were released by the company. Sharp had earlier
revealed that it was going to make the IGZO technology available for mobile
devices, which has resulted to speculations that Apple will be among the first
companies to use it. The technology will allow the device to use lesser energy
while increasing the pixel transparency.
The
announcement of Sharp of the release of screen displays for an upcoming
smartphone from Apple has given some credence to reports that the iPhone 5 may
be released into the market before the end of the year. Reports had hinted of a
possible launch of the iPhone 5 by September 12 and will become available in
the market by September 21.
No
statements were released by Apple in connection to the possibility that the
iPhone 5 was the smartphone that will be using the screen displays that Sharp
is set to deliver within the month.
