At a time when you are calling into question the success of the Apple Watch, we receive new data and images that make us see how exquisite they have been in Cupertino when manufacturing this new concept of smart watch. It is not the first time that the screen of the Apple Watch has been talked about. We have already said that a panel has been assembled that perfectly recreates even blacks making the edge of the screen almost imperceptible with the panel itself.
Now they have put under the lenses of a microscope the screen that the Apple Watch mount and have compared it with the results obtained with that of an iPhone 6. You will be able to see once again that the screen that these little ones have is very very good.
We present you some images that Bryan Jones has managed to capture with his Retina screen microscope that all three Apple Watch models have. Let us remember that although the panel they mount is the same, the cover glass is different being that of the Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition of sapphire crystal.
IPhone 6 screen
As you can see in the images that we show you, it has managed to enlarge the screen until it can differentiate the individual pixels as well as the sub-pixels. In the case of Apple Watch, the panel used is AMOLED, unlike any other Apple product that up to now used LCD panels. On the iPhone the pixels are much closer together and the red, green and blue are aligned vertically.
On the Apple Watch screen, the blue sub-pixels perfectly separate the red and green ones, which are also longer. The blue sub-pixels are longer because in OLED technology, these are the ones with a shorter useful life, of around 20.000 hours of use, which would cause that in about three years of use they would stop lighting up. To reduce this effect they get bigger.
On the other hand we can see other orange dots, which is nothing other than the sensitive system of the Force Touch on the Apple Watch screen. Apple defines these dots on its website as:
In addition to recognizing the touch, the Apple Watch senses the pressure, adding a new dimension to the user interface. The Force Touch uses small electrodes around the flexible Retina display to distinguish between light touch and pressure.
