According to Korean media, the G Pad will feature a x LCD display with a film-based touch panel technology dubbed GF2, that is similar to the touch panel that Apple deployed on the iPad mini and is likely to use on the upcoming iPad 5.
What is GF2 and why is it important? To understand, you need to know that most touchscreen displays are composed of several layers, including a touch panel, which detects when the user touches the screen and translates it into a signal that the processor can work with. Although GF2 has a mature supply chain for film substrates, sensor patterning, and touch-module bonding, its thickness and display transmittance means Apple will not adopt it for the long term.
This is because OLED panel manufacturers need not be concerned with touch issues, freeing them to focus their efforts on areas including the quality of the display and raising production yields. However, once Apple manages to acquire additional sources for AMOLED displays to safeguard supply, customization of its touch sensor structure will almost become inevitable and a foregone conclusion.
For reference purposes, we are providing the specifications and other particulars for the display and touch structure of Apple's new iPhone X series in Display Week.
Remember Me. Damir Lokas. Although GF2 has a mature supply chain, including film substrate, sensor patterning and touch module bonding, its thickness and display transmittance means Apple will not adopt it in the long term, Hsieh said. Once Apple has more AMOLED display sources, the customisation of the company's proprietary touch sensor structure will be almost inevitable.
