Apple has opened in Taiwan secret laboratory in which are developing more advanced versions of displays of the company’s devices. This was reported by Bloomberg.
This laboratory, located in the city Longtan to the North of the island, is operational since April of this year, however, officially nothing is known about her. The facility employs about 50 engineers and other employees whose task is to develop technologies to create thinner, brighter and less power-consuming displays for these devices from Apple, as iPhones and iPads.
Apple are developing more advanced versions of LCD displays, which Apple now equips all their devices and explore the possibility of a complete transition of the company’s products on the screens that use OLED technology. The source indicates that by conducting its own design screens, Apple wants to be less dependent on companies like Samsung and Sharp, who are the suppliers of displays for the iPhone maker.
The Agency writes that the building, which houses the new laboratory Apple previously belonged to the American manufacturer of semiconductors and wireless communications Qualcomm. Almost all engineers working on a new site, Apple are former employees of Qualcomm and one of the Taiwanese companies.
It is noted that Apple development is conducted in high secrecy, so the building of the laboratory from virtually no different from the many industrial buildings in the industrial area Longtan where the lab is located.
