Kwezi veki zidlulileyo sithethile izihlandlo ezininzi malunga nomdla weenkampani ezininzi ekuthatheni indawo yomenzi wesikrini waseJapan uSharp, othi Uhlangabezana nobunzima bemali kule minyaka idlulileyo. Eyona yatsala ingqalelo yayinguFoxconn, njengomenzi ophambili wezixhobo zenkampani esekwe eCupertino.
Ngokwiphephandaba laseNikkei laseAsia, inkampani yaseJapan iSharp iphele isamkela isithembiso esivela eTaiwan Hon Hai Precision, esaziwa ngcono yiFoxconn, kutshintshiselwano nge-6.200 yezigidigidi zeedola. Isithembiso sokuqala esenziwe yinkampani yayiyi-5.300 yezigidigidi, ekubonakala ukuba kuye kwanyanzeleka ukuba iyonyuse ukuze ikwazi ukuhlala nomvelisi wesikrini waseJapan.
Amarhe okuba iFoxconn ithenge i-Sharp yavela kunyaka ophelileyo yatsho njalo UFoxconn uya kuxhomekeka kuApple ukuba enze utyalomali, kodwa ngekhe abe yinxalenye yalo. Okwangoku akucaci ukuba isithembiso esamkelwe yinkampani yaseJapan iFoxconn yamkelwe ngemali nguApple.
Njengoko sinokufunda kuHlolo lweNikkei lwaseAsia:
USharp kuye kwafuneka akhethe phakathi kwesibonelelo sokufunyanwa yiFoxconn okanye aqhubeke nokusebenza ngenkxaso yeInnovation Networ, Corp yaseJapan, ingxowa mali yotyalo mali exhaswa ngurhulumente waseJapan. Le ngxowa-mali ibonelele ngenaliti ezizigidi ezingama-300 kunye ne-yen yezigidi ezingama-200.
Ukulandela ukuthengwa okubukhali, iFoxconn ikwimeko yokuqala izinto zokwenza i-iPhone, ukuya ngaphaya kwendima yayo ekuphela kwayo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ngaphandle kokudibanisa izixhobo. Isityalo se-Sharp sikaKameyana esingu-1 sizinikezelwe ngokukodwa ekwenzeni imiboniso ye-iPhone, emva kotyalomali luka-Apple lwe-987 yezigidi ukuyiguqulaKuba ngaphambili ibisenza kuphela iiphaneli ze-HDTV. Okwangoku iipaneli ze-LCD ze-iPhone zenziwe ngeSamsung, LG kunye neSharp.
Ukuba injongo ka-Apple kukubandakanya iipaneli ze-OLED kwiminyaka embalwa, andiboni ukuba iApple ikwazile ukusebenzisana nokuthengwa kwale nkampani. Ukuba senza imeko yamahemuhemu esiye sapapasha ngaphambili kwaye sinxulumene neepaneli ze-OLED ezizayo, Zombini i-Samsung kunye ne-LG ziya kuba noxanduva lokuvelisa olu hlobo lwezikrini ngaphakathi kokubini, xa ukumiliselwa kwayo kucwangcisiwe kwaye itekhnoloji ye-OLED iqhubele phambili nangaphezulu ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.
