Samsung to release new OLED displays for laptops in February this year

If you think 2020 was the year of laptops and smartphones then think again. The new year has just begun and we are already preparing for CES 2021 where multiple manufactures will showcase their new gadgets.

The biggest anticipation of the event from our side is to wait for Nvidia to announce its GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards. But everything pales in comparison when it comes to AMD showcasing Ryzen 5000 mobile CPU series. Intel is also going to introduce its Tiger Lake-H35 series.

Earlier, we saw that Samsung has announced that it will begin mass production of new OLED screens for laptops starting from February. The news comes after the fact that initially, the South Korean based tech giant announced that it will discontinue the production of OLED displays and focus more on new technologies. But after seeing the increased demand for technology, the company finally decided to continue the production.

According to sources, Samsung will have 10 new displays available to customers ranging from 13.3 to 16.0-inch designs. Samsung will also bring FullHD 15.6-in OLED screens for the first time in February. The company plans to increase the demand for OLED technology in the market and intends to expand its OLED notebook presence by securing more customers this year.

Even though we know that the company plans to release the display screens we still don’t know the refresh rate of the new screens, but Samsung claims that its OLED screens will have 10 times higher response times than conventional LCD screens.

Apple reportedly placed a large order for Millimeter-Wave Antenna for iPhone 13

Apple reportedly placed a large order for Millimeter-Wave Antenna for iPhone 13

As per a new supply chain report, Apple is working with foreign telecom companies and has apparently placed a large order for millimeter-wave 5G antennas for iPhone 13, to speed up the standards proliferation. This might be an indication that the company is planning to expand the availability of mmWave 5G support to more countries later this year, as in 2020, the mmWave 5G support was only available in the U.S. for the iPhone 12 series.

Taiwanese company Qiqi will reportedly provide Apple with mmWave Antennas for the iPhone 13

A report by Patently Apple informs that the large mmWave Antennas order has been received by Taiwanese Netcom company Qiqi. The Wistron group has invested in Qiqi, which is now expected to be added to Apple’s supply chain for mmWave antennas for the very first time, sharing with Japanese electronics giant Murata Manufacturing Co. this year.

Qiqi’s chairman Xie Hongbo, who was once the CEO of Wistron’s NeWeb Corporation,  announced a few days ago that 5G-related shipments would increase significantly in 2021. This would bring out a drastic increase in revenues for Qiqi, as it will allow more iPhone 13 models sold across the world to adopt the truest standard of 5G.

Sub-6GHz 5G vs mmWave 5G

In case you didn’t know, the sub-6GHz 5G is faster than LTE but significantly slower than mmWave 5G though the upside is maintaining connectivity over a longer range, and a majority of regions have adopted it. The infrastructure costs accompanied by this deployment, where there needs to be a mmWave 5G node every few meters to ensure optimum performance, is likely why mmWave 5G adoption isn’t picking up the place globally.

The inferior range of mmWave is so unreliable that where you see download speeds above 1,000Mbps, that bandwidth can take a sudden nosedive if you move a foot sideways or backward, in comparison, sub-6GHz is much more reliable. Additionally, designing a mmWave antenna is complicated. 

However, Qiqi has the resources and talent to design mmWave antennas for Apple on a larger scale. The iPhone 13 lineup and future iPhone models support for the mmWave 5G band in regions other than the U.S. will continue to grow, as shipments would gain some momentum for this particular component.

TSMC to increase its production in 2021

The semiconductor industry has seen unprecedented growth in the second half of 2020. With company’s like Intel and AMD releasing their groundbreaking CPUs, even Apple has joined in on the fun. Chip suppliers like ARM and TSMC have their production houses booked by the silicon giants.

Recent reports indicate that the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has increased its capital expenditure for the new year to $22 billion. If the figures are true then the total expenditure will be 30% more than that of last year.

The company claims that the new increase is due to the high costs of procuring extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines. Rumors claim that TSMC was expected to allocate $20 billion in capital expenditure for 2021, and the bulk of the new estimate is again expected to be targetted towards expanding 5nm production, developing facilities for 3nm, and researching and developing the 2nm process node.

The manufacture of notes using 5nm and lower nodes requires extensive use of EUV machines due to smaller circuits. Currently, TSMC is capable of manufacturing 60,000 5nm chips per month, with TSMC expected to increase this to 100,000 pieces per month in the second half of this year.

TSMC is also on its way to set up and operate a chip manufacturing facility in Arizona, United States, with its board having allocated a $3.5 billion capital investment. TSMC will be aided by the city council of Pheonix. These funds will aim to provide the company with facilities such as wastewater disposal, which is an integral part of chip fabrication due to purity requirements. As to how the company will grow more remains to be seen
