Yesterday I told you that Samsung Galaxy S5 it has the best screen ever implemented in a smartphone, the statement being made by a group of experts specialized in testing the screens of electronic products. Even if for Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), this will matter too little now, the company is still working on completing a purchase which could bring him a team of experts in the development of chips for smartphone screens. More precisely, it is about the company Renesas Electronics, it providing the current chips used in the screens iPhonefixes may.
Renesas SP is the world's leading producer of drivers and controllers for small and midsize LCDs, with a market share of around one-third. These chips determine a display's quality and performance as well as a phone's overall energy efficiency – they are said to account for around 10% of battery usage.
Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), I do not intend to acquire the entire company, but only the acquisition that develops the chips and drivers based on which the screens work, it being one of the most important companies in this field. Apple would be willing to pay almost 500 million dollars to acquire half of the Renesas company, Sharp being willing to sell its entire share package to the Americans, the rest to be bought from the rest of the shareholders.
Renesas has a team of 240 employees who would be integrated into one of Apple's divisions, the American company intending to initial the acquisition by the summer.
