Apple has been rumored to be working on new iPad and MacBook models featuring an OLED display, but it hasn’t materialized so far. But now, it seems that the Cupertino-based tech giant is finally inching closer to launching devices having OLED panels.
According to the latest report coming from ETNews, Samsung and LG, which supply display panels to Apple, have started preparing their factories for the mass production of the first iPads with OLED displays.
The report further adds that the screen will be a hybrid one as it uses a combination of flexible and rigid OLED technologies. Earlier, it was reported that iPad Pro models would have “two-stack” OLED displays with two red, green, and blue emission layers for increased brightness.
The screen is also expected to come with support for ProMotion for up to a 120Hz refresh rate. OLED panels have self-emitting pixels and do not require backlighting, allowing for a higher contrast ratio, greater color accuracy, and lower power consumption.
Currently, Apple is using OLED displays for the Apple Watch and the iPhone models, but the company is yet to adopt them for larger screen devices like tablets and laptops.
Some time back, Ross Young revealed that Apple is planning to launch 13-inch MacBook Air, 11.1-inch iPad Pro, and 13-inch iPad Pro with OLED panels in 2024. Meanwhile, there are rumors of the Apple iPhone Ultra featuring a microLED display when it goes official next year.
