Khaberni - Apple is preparing to adopt a new technology from "Samsung" that will make the iPhone Fold's folding screen thinner and brighter.
It is also likely that this advanced technology will be used in the iPhone 18 series and the "Galaxy S26" series, which may eliminate the need for high-density silicon-carbon batteries thanks to improved energy efficiency.
Apple will use a technology called "CoE," meaning "color filter on the encapsulation layer" from "Samsung Display" in the upcoming iPhone Fold, according to a report by the Korean newspaper "The Elec," reviewed by "Al Arabiya Business".
The "CoE" technology marketed by "Samsung Display" - a Samsung affiliate - under the name "On-Cell Film" dispenses with the plastic polarizing layer that is usually placed between the front glass and the "OLED" panel. The function of the polarization layer is to reduce reflections and improve contrast, and without it, the phone screen would look like a mirror.
However, the problem is that this plastic polarization layer blocks about 50% of the light emitted by the "OLED" panel.
This means that more energy must be pumped into the screen to compensate for the loss of brightness, which drains the battery. Instead, the "CoE" technology incorporates the color filter directly onto the thin protective layer of the "OLED" screen.
It is expected that this technology will be used in the iPhone Fold, the iPhone 18 series and specifically in the iPhone Air 2, and in the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This will be the first time a non-folding Samsung phone uses the "CoE" technology.
