There is some good news for Apple Watch users. If you are looking to upgrade your watch, the upcoming Series 10 could see a significant battery life improvement thanks to a new display technology, according to supply chain sources.
The current Apple Watch uses LTPO only for a few parts on the display
Korean tech publication The Elec reports that the Series 10 will use an upgraded OLED display with low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) technology. Currently, the Apple Watch uses LTPO for only a few parts of its OLED screen, relying on less efficient technology elsewhere.
Here’s the key takeaway: Apple Watch Series 10 is expected to use LTPO more extensively. This shift from LTPS to oxide in the driver transistors translates to these display-pixel-connected transistors being made from oxide. LTPO OLEDs utilize oxides to minimize leakage current, and this new approach signifies a broader application of oxides within the display. Manufacturers specializing in oxide technology are likely to benefit from this change. This translates to a longer battery life, which is a major concern for most users.
However, it is noteworthy that newer features in the Series 10 watch might offset the efficiency gains from the new display. Still, the potential for a longer-lasting Apple Watch is exciting news for fans of the wearable. The Apple Watch is the highest selling smartwatch in the world, so it’s easy to see where loyal customers of the company stem from.
