On the evening of January 9, a netizen left a message to Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi Group China and general manager of the Redmi brand: Redmi out of the LCD flagship machine, I immediately changed.
Previously, in 2020, Redmi launched an LCD flagship Redmi K30S, which is a flagship phone built for rice noodles that like LCD. After the Redmi K30S, subsequent models of the Redmi K series used OLED screens.
It can be seen that the LCD screen has almost disappeared on the high-end flagship, and the manufacturers are all USing OLED screens.
One of the reasons is that mobile phone manufacturers have higher and higher requirements for screen ratio, and in the early days of the full screen era, LCD screens can also use the COF packaging process to reduce the chin as much as possible. However, the LCD itself cannot be bent sharply, resulting in the chin of the COF package still not meeting the manufacturer's pursuit.
In contrast, OLED can be packaged with COP due to its own characteristics, which can further reduce the width of the chin, which is particularly important for the flagship machine that talks about the value of the face.
The second reason is the fingerprint under the screen. Flagship phones with side fingerprints or rear fingerprints will appear very cheap. High-end flagship machines naturally use screen fingerprints to unlock, and the current LCD screen fingerprints have no energy production, OLED has become the only choice for flagship machines.
