LG Display has just pulled off something the display industry has been chasing for years. It’s the first company to mass-produce blue phosphorescent OLED panels. That’s a big deal because blue has always been the missing piece in what’s been dubbed the “dream OLED”, a display that uses energy-efficient phosphorescence for red, green, and blue.

LG Display brings blue PHOLED to mass production with 15% lower power draw

The breakthrough follows eight months of development with Universal Display Corporation (UDC), and the new panel will make its public debut at SID Display Week 2025 in San Jose.

Interestingly, many expected Samsung to be the first to crack blue phosphorescence and bring it to market in upcoming foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 or Flip 7. But it’s LG that got there first.

Here’s why this matters. While red and green phosphorescent materials have been around for years and are used in today’s OLED displays for their high efficiency and low power draw, blue has been a persistent problem. Blue light has a shorter wavelength and higher energy, which makes it much harder to manage. Existing OLED panels rely on blue fluorescence, which is more stable but incredibly inefficient, topping out at just 25% light emission efficiency.

LG’s new approach is a hybrid “dual-stack tandem” structure. The bottom layer still uses blue fluorescence for durability, but now it’s paired with a blue phosphorescent layer on top. This design cuts power consumption by about 15 percent without sacrificing stability or lifespan. In a world of battery-hungry smartphones, tablets, and AI-powered gadgets, that’s not just impressive, it’s essential.

This advancement leans heavily on UDC’s PHOLED technology, which is built around organometallic compounds containing heavy metals like iridium. These materials allow the panel to use both singlet and triplet excitons, meaning they extract far more light from the same amount of energy, with near-100 percent efficiency.

The benefits go beyond just lower power usage. These new panels could enable brighter screens, longer-lasting batteries, and potentially thinner devices. LG says the technology is aimed at small and medium displays, which means smartphones and tablets for now, but there’s clear potential for wearables, foldable, AI PCs, and even AR or VR headsets.

Blue phosphorescent OLED has been the hardest challenge in display tech. Now, with LG’s solution, the dream OLED isn’t just a concept anymore. It’s real, and it’s coming soon.

For years, Apple iPads have been praised for their stunning Retina displays. But with the latest iPad Pro lineup, Apple has taken things a step further by introducing a new display technology – the Tandem OLED. Although, this technology isn’t entirely new – the Honor Magic 6 RSR Porsche Design holds the title of the first smartphone with a Tandem OLED display. But Apple, true to form, has rebranded it as their own “Ultra Retina XDR” technology. This article dives into the inner workings of this new display, explores its benefits, and explains why it represents a significant leap forward for the iPad Pro.

Traditional OLED vs. The Tandem Advantage

OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays have become increasingly popular in smartphones and TVs due to their inherent advantages. Unlike traditional LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels that require backlighting, OLED pixels generate their own light. This allows for superior contrast, deeper blacks, and incredible viewing angles. However, conventional OLED displays have a limitation – brightness.

The amount of light an OLED pixel can produce is limited by the materials used. Pushing them too hard for higher brightness can lead to reduced lifespan and potential burn-in issues. This is where Apple’s Tandem OLED technology comes in.

How Tandem OLED Works

The secret behind Tandem OLED lies in its name. Unlike a single layer of OLED pixels in traditional displays, the Tandem design stacks two OLED emitters on top of each other. Each layer can be individually controlled to optimize light output. This allows the display to achieve significantly higher brightness levels without compromising lifespan or introducing burn-in risks.

Think of it like having two light sources working together. When you need a brighter image, both layers fire simultaneously, generating a powerful and uniform light. For darker scenes, one layer can be dimmed or deactivated entirely, preserving deep blacks and maintaining excellent contrast.

Benefits of the Tandem OLED Display

Apple claims the Tandem OLED display in the new iPad Pro offers a multitude of advantages, making it a significant upgrade over previous iPad displays and even rivaling OLED technology in other devices. Here’s a breakdown of the key benefits:

Unmatched Brightness: The biggest advantage is the phenomenal brightness levels. The iPad Pro boasts a staggering 1,000 nits of full-screen brightness for both Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) content. It can even reach peak brightness of 1,600 nits for HDR content.

This surpasses the typical brightness limitations of OLED displays and rivals the brightness of mini-LED displays used in previous iPad Pros. With such high brightness, the iPad Pro offers a superior viewing experience, especially in brightly lit environments or when displaying HDR content with vivid highlights.

Enhanced Contrast: Since each pixel in a Tandem OLED display can be completely turned off, the contrast ratio remains exceptional. This translates to deeper blacks, richer colors, and sharper images. This benefit is crucial for tasks like photo and video editing, where accurate color representation and deep blacks are essential.

Improved Response Time: The Tandem OLED display boasts incredibly fast response times, measured in milliseconds. This translates to smoother visuals with minimal ghosting or blurring, especially noticeable in fast-paced content like games or action movies.

Power Efficiency: While OLED displays are generally known for being more power-efficient than traditional LED backlighting, the efficiency of the Tandem OLED display is further optimized. It is expected that the intelligent power management of the M4 chip will complement the display’s efficiency, leading to a long battery life despite the increased brightness capabilities.

True Tone and Wide Color Gamut: The Tandem OLED display retains the True Tone feature from previous iPads, which automatically adjusts the display’s color temperature to match the ambient light. This reduces eye strain and provides a more natural viewing experience. Additionally, the display supports a wide color gamut (P3), ensuring vibrant and accurate colors for photos, videos, and other content.

Potential Drawback

While the Tandem OLED display appears to be a significant leap forward, there is a potential drawback to consider:

Burn-in Risk: A potential concern with OLED displays, including Tandem OLED, is the risk of burn-in. This occurs when static images are displayed on the screen for extended periods, potentially leaving a faint ghost image. We hope Apple has implemented measures to mitigate burn-in, such as pixel shifting, it’s still a factor to keep in mind, especially for heavy users.

The Future of Displays with Tandem OLED

The introduction of the Tandem OLED display in the iPad Pro signifies a significant advancement in display technology. With its exceptional brightness, improved contrast, and faster response times, this display sets a new standard for mobile devices. While potential drawbacks like burn-in risk exist, the benefits seem to outweigh them for most users. As the technology matures and production costs decrease, we can expect to see Tandem OLED displays becoming more prevalent in future Apple devices and potentially even across the broader mobile device industry.

According to reports from Korean media source The Elec, Samsung Display is making significant progress in OLED technology, specifically in the development of blue phosphorescent OLED (PHOLED) components.

Samsung May Shift to Blue PHOLED for Future Foldables

Currently, red and green OLED components in displays utilize phosphorescent materials with a 100% internal luminous efficiency, while blue OLEDs use less efficient fluorescent materials with only 25% efficiency. Samsung’s goal is to replace these less efficient blue fluorescent materials with more effective blue light-emitting materials, which could potentially lead to a reduction in overall OLED power consumption.

Market research firm UBI Research reports that this new material set, expected to be part of Samsung Display’s flexible OLED material set M15, targets a launch in the second half of 2025. Initially, expectations were set for the introduction of blue PHOLED materials in mid-2024. However, the timeline has been pushed to the second half of 2025 due to developmental challenges.

The new blue PHOLED materials are projected to achieve a luminous efficiency of at least 55% and a brightness efficiency of over 65% compared to the materials used in previous sets like M11 and M13.

There is speculation, as reported by Sammobile, that Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 might be the first devices to adopt the new blue PHOLED technology in 2025. However, this information is still unconfirmed, and concerns about durability may impact its use in mainstream devices. The blue PHOLED materials under development have a lifespan that is only 55% of that of blue fluorescent materials.

While the transition to blue PHOLED has the potential to significantly reduce power consumption, the longevity of these materials remains a concern. Despite these challenges, Samsung‘s advancement in blue PHOLED technology is seen as a major achievement in the OLED industry.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 series is attracting a lot of attention, but not necessarily for the reasons the tech giant would prefer. Rumor has it that both the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will stick with a 60Hz display refresh rate, falling behind the 120Hz standard offered by many other flagship smartphones.

Apple is set to disappoint again with non-Pro iPhone 16 displays

This decision by Apple has been a point of discussion since the release of the iPhone 15 series, which also featured the same 60Hz refresh rate. Despite advancements like the Dynamic Island design in recent models, Apple appears hesitant to upgrade the refresh rate in its non-Pro iPhones.

Leaks from various sources, including South Korean tech site Naver and Twitter leaker @Tech_Reve, suggest that the iPhone 16 series won’t see an improvement in this aspect. This aligns with predictions from display analyst Ross Young, who suggests that Apple may only introduce high-refresh-rate screens to its base models by 2025.

The rumored screen sizes for the iPhone 16 series include a 6.12-inch display for the standard model and a 6.69-inch display for the Plus variant. In contrast, the Pro models are expected to feature slightly larger screens with 120Hz refresh rates, in line with current flagship smartphone trends.

This decision by Apple is surprising, especially considering that competitors like Samsung and Google have already adopted higher refresh rates in their flagship models, including budget variants like the Pixel 7a. Some Moto phones even offer 144Hz displays in the mid-budget segment. The persistence of a 60Hz refresh rate in premium models like the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus makes them outliers in the current smartphone market. While a 60Hz refresh rate isn’t inherently bad, it is noticeably lower than the standard found in recent flagship devices.

The reluctance to upgrade the refresh rate could be influenced by factors like cost and potential battery life trade-offs. However, it remains a significant point of contention for users who expect a smoother and more responsive experience from new models. As the industry moves toward smoother and more dynamic displays, Apple’s choice to stick with a 60Hz refresh rate in its upcoming models might be seen as lagging behind its competitors.

Samsung Display has received approval for mass production of OLED panels for all four models in Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 series according to a report by The Elec. This is expected to provide a significant advantage to Samsung, as its competitors BOE and LG Display face production disruptions. LG Display received conditional approval for the Pro model, while BOE is encountering struggles with its supply commitments this year.

Samsung Display’s Opportunity Amidst Rivals’ Struggles

BOE is experiencing difficulties with the “Dynamic Island” feature, which requires hole display processing for all iPhone 15 models. Unfortunately, BOE’s panels are suffering from light bleed around the Dynamic Island cutout.

On the other hand, LG Display is facing delays in obtaining mass production approval for the Pro Max model. LG Display’s issues are exacerbated by concurrent production problems with the iPhone’s camera modules from suppliers Sony and LG Innotek, causing a parts backlog. This may influence Apple’s production prioritization towards Pro models, which have constituted a significant portion of iPhone series shipments in recent years.

Following LG Display’s conditional approval, efforts are underway to expedite the Pro Max model’s approval. Despite facing difficulties with bezel and hole display implementation for OLEDs, LG Display aims to increase its iPhone 15 Pro model OLED production. However, ongoing production disruptions for the iPhone 15 Pro Max may result in a larger profit share for Samsung Display, which also benefited last year from LG Display’s production issues.

In addition to these complexities, Samsung Display may increase its material and component orders amid the production intricacies. However, a patent dispute with BOE adds further complications to the market. BOE recently filed for an invalidation trial of one of Samsung Display’s US patents, related to Samsung’s diamond pixel structure, which BOE allegedly used when supplying OLEDs for Apple iPhones since the iPhone 12.

Samsung Display, the world’s largest OLED panel maker, is investing billions of dollars to improve the efficiency of its OLED production in anticipation of increased orders from Apple.

The South Korean company is investing around $3.05 billion to set up new OLED production lines at its Tangjeong factory, which will become the world’s first to start mass-producing 8.6-generation OLED substrates measuring 2,620 x 2,200mm each. These substrates will then be converted into mid-sized OLED panels for laptops and tablets, with Samsung Display planning to manufacture around 10 million OLED panels every year.

Samsung aims to double production efficiency with 8.6-generation OLED substrates

Samsung Display’s move to upgrade from sixth-generation glass substrates to 8.6-generation substrates will double its production efficiency and increase production capacity. However, it is a more complex process that could compel Japanese production equipment firms to improve their technology. LG Display is also investing $2.46 billion to improve its OLED production facilities and is expected to adopt sixth-generation substrates in the future.

Both Samsung Display and LG Display are competing to secure OLED manufacturing contracts from Apple, which is expected to launch its first OLED iPad in 2024 and its first OLED MacBook Pro in 2026. The two South Korean companies are also competing to keep Chinese display manufacturing firms out of the OLED market.

Chinese firms have already captured most of the LCD market and are expanding their OLED production capacity with subsidies from the Chinese government. As a result, it is crucial for LG and Samsung to hold on to their combined 80% market share to survive.

In other news, Samsung plans to cut memory chip production by 25% as their Q1 2023 profits fall by 95% due to weak chip demand. The company has also confirmed that their Exynos chipsets may return in Galaxy flagship smartphones, and rumors have been circulating that Samsung may launch the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 earlier than expected.

Smartphone screen size has been increasing and it’s now almost impossible to find a flagship smartphone that is comparatively smaller in size. But now, amid rumors of a foldable smartphone from Google, it appears that the company is on track to launch a smaller phone.

As per the latest leak coming through Ross Young, the upcoming flagship smartphone from the Mountain View-based tech giant, the Google Pixel 8, will have a smaller display panel.

It is said that the Google Pixel 8 will feature a 6.16-inch display, which is smaller compared to the 6.7-inch display on the Pixel 8 Pro. With the 6.16-inch panel, we expect the company to market it and list it as a 6.2-inch panel.

Further, it is revealed that the display for the upcoming Pixel 8 lineup will be sourced from Samsung, which isn’t surprising given that company’s dominance in the market. It is said that the panel production could begin in the month of May, i.e. next month.

Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro flagship smartphones are expected to go official in October, but ahead of the official launch, we expect the company to showcase the devices at the Google I/O if the company continues to do what it did last year.

At the Google I/O, apart from teasing the Pixel 8 lineup, the search engine giant is also set to launch a few hardware products, including the Pixel 7a, the much-anticipated Pixel Fold foldable smartphone, and the Pixel Tablet.

Apple fans may be disappointed to hear that the tech giant has decided to put the brakes on its rumored 27-inch external monitor with ProMotion and mini-LED backlighting. Ross Young previously predicted that the monitor would be released in 2022. However, it appears that Apple has decided to cancel the display, at least for now. Here ae the details…

Rumored Apple 27-Inch Display With ProMotion No Longer Planned

In his tweet shared exclusively with paying subscribers, Young mentioned that Apple had shipped some display panels for the monitor last year. However, the reason for the sudden cancellation remains unknown, leaving consumers and analysts wondering if Apple will ever revive the project or let it fade away. The anticipated display was rumored to support ProMotion technology, enabling refresh rates of up to 120Hz.

Given the 27-inch size, it could have been a next-gen version of the Studio Display or possibly a new model sandwiched between the Studio Display and the high-end Pro Display XDR. Apple’s current Studio Display, released in March 2022 alongside the Mac Studio, starts at $1,599 and boasts a 5K resolution but lacks ProMotion. The monitor has not seen any hardware updates since its launch.

Young has a solid reputation for accurately predicting display-related details about Apple products. In the past, he correctly reported that ProMotion would be featured in the iPhone 13 Pro, 14-inch, and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. He also accurately predicted the sixth-generation iPad mini’s 8.3-inch display upgrade and numerous other details.

As of now, Apple has not commented on the matter, leaving fans and industry watchers in the dark about the fate of the rumored 27-inch ProMotion display. We’ll be sure to keep our readers updated on any developments or official statements regarding this intriguing and potentially game-changing display technology. But as always, if there is a development, you can follow it on Gizmochina.

The post Apple Reportedly Scraps Plans for a 27-inch ProMotion Display – What Happened? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Apple’s iPhone lineup is set to receive a major upgrade in the next few years, as rumors suggest that the company is planning to introduce high refresh rate displays and LTPO technology to its standard iPhone models. The move is expected to make the user experience smoother and more responsive.

According to Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, ProMotion technology, which was first introduced on the iPhone 13 Pro models in 2021, will expand to standard iPhone models in two years. This will allow the display to ramp up to a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and video content, as well as ramping down to a more power-efficient refresh rate when necessary. This is expected to be made possible by the introduction of low-power LTPO display technology to standard iPhones in 2025.

While the iPhone 13 Pro models can ramp down to 10Hz, the iPhone 14 Pro models can go as low as 1Hz, allowing for an always-on display that can show the Lock Screen’s clock, widgets, notifications, and wallpaper even when the device is locked. The roadmap provided by Young suggests that the “iPhone 17” and “iPhone 17 Plus” will feature ProMotion and an always-on display too.

In addition to this, Apple is also expected to introduce under-screen Face ID and cameras in future iPhones, according to Young’s roadmap. The analyst has accurately leaked many display-related details about future Apple products, including ProMotion coming to the iPhone 13 Pro and MacBook Pro.

The introduction of high refresh rate displays and LTPO technology is expected to widen the gap between the standard and Pro versions of the iPhone. However, it is believed that Apple will eventually introduce these technologies to all its iPhone models, as it has done in the past with OLED technology and Dynamic Island.

While the standard version may not introduce LTPO technology until 2025, this move is a significant step forward for Apple’s iPhone lineup. The company has been under pressure from users and competitors alike to introduce high refresh rate displays, and this move is expected to be a major selling point for future iPhones.

A recent supply chain report from Korea reveals that Chinese BOE will establish a new display module factory in Vietnam, in response to Apple’s growing demand for small and medium-sized OLED and LCD displays. This news comes after Reuters initially reported on BOE’s plans for a factory in northern Vietnam earlier this year. Here are the details…

Apple Supplier BOE to Open New OLED Display Plant in Northern Vietnam by 2025

The display module factory in Bac Ninh will focus on the production of various small and medium-sized display modules, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and liquid crystal displays (LCDs). These modules will be supplied primarily to Apple, with the factory expected to be fully operational by 2025.

The module process, which involves combining individual parts to create a functional panel, is a key part of the display manufacturing process. Once the module process is completed on a panel half-finished product, a display module that can be combined with the finished product is created.

BOE’s decision to establish a display module factory in Bac Ninh is reportedly at the request of Apple. This move will facilitate Apple’s panel supplier factory audits, as the tech giant will no longer need to visit both Vietnam and China to verify the iPhone OLED post-processing module line. Moreover, suppliers of inspection equipment required for post-processing will be able to respond more quickly if BOE builds its factory in Bac Ninh.

In the short term, BOE will primarily supply OLED displays for the iPhone SE4, which is anticipated to implement OLED technology for the first time next year. The 6.1-inch OLED display for the iPhone SE4 is projected to be offered at a competitive price of around $40, providing BOE with an opportunity to increase panel production.

The establishment of BOE’s new factory in Bac Ninh will not only streamline Apple’s panel supplier factory audits but also strengthen the supply chain for Apple’s small and medium-sized display products. As a result, both companies stand to benefit from this collaboration, which will likely contribute to the growth and advancement of display technology in the years to come.

By expanding its presence in northern Vietnam, BOE will further solidify its position as a key supplier for Apple, while simultaneously boosting the region’s economy and technological capabilities. As the factory is set to begin operations in 2025, it marks a significant milestone in the ongoing partnership between BOE and Apple, as they continue to innovate and develop cutting-edge display technologies for consumers worldwide.

Sharp and E Ink Holdings have announced the launch of a 42-inch Black and White Electronic Paper Digital Poster Display (ePoster) that requires zero power consumption during display. The product uses reflective display technology to reflect ambient light to display images. The brighter the environment, the better the display effect.

The ePaper poster display is just 3 cm thick and weighs about 8 kg, with a thin and light design. The black and white screen requires maximum power consumption of about 40W to drive the ink particles when refreshing. As a comparison, Sharp’s same-sized LCD screen has a power consumption of 115W.

Unlike traditional digital displays, this ePaper poster display can continue to display even if the power is turned off, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional digital billboards.

The estimated selling price of the Sharp 42-inch ePaper poster display is around 550,000 yen (approximately $4,163 USD). The product can be used for in-store signs in retail stores such as clothing stores and can also be used for evacuation guidance at disaster sites.

Sharp plans to use its expertise in the installation and operation of digital billboards, as well as its service network throughout Japan, to replace paper posters in areas where it was difficult to install digital billboards with electronic paper digital posters.

The ePaper poster display is the result of a three-year cooperation between E Ink and Sharp, with the goal of contributing to the era of carbon neutrality through the popularization of electronic paper digital posters. In the future, the two companies plan to not only focus on the development of large-size or color e-paper displays but also expand the global e-paper billboard business. Sharp will launch this 42-inch Black and White Electronic Paper Digital Poster Display (ePoster) in the Japanese market in early April 2023.

Apple has been rumored to be working on OLED panels for the MacBook lineup, which has not materialized yet. However, if the new reports are to be believed, the wait could finally be over.

As per the reports, the new Apple MacBook Air could be the first MacBook device to feature an OLED display panel, and the launch of this new model could take place in early 2024.

The upcoming MacBook Air will reportedly use an OLED technology called “tandem stack,” which is a type of cutting-edge OLED technology that improves the display’s longevity, improves power efficiency, and increases brightness.

While the MacBook Air will be switched to using OLED panels, the MacBook Pro will continue to have mini-LED displays for some more time, and there’s no information available about when the Pro models will switch to OLEDs.

Meanwhile, the Cupertino-based technology giant is also working on new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air powered by the yet unannounced Apple M3 chipset. Although the company has not revealed anything about this, the new laptops are expected to get launched sometime in June this year during WWDC 2024.

Huawei is all set to launch its upcoming foldable flagship Mate X3 alongside P60 series on March 23 in China. Now according to the popular tipster “Digital Chitchat Station,” the device will feature a large 7.8-inch 2K display with a high refresh rate of 120Hz and will be protected by Kunlun glass. The device will also have an IPX8 waterproof rating.

Huawei will use Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) technology for the displays which is expected to offer better durability and scratch resistance compared to the plastic-based foldable displays that are currently used in many foldable smartphones out there. The display is reported to be produced by China’s BOE.

The Mate X3 will also have a powerful camera setup, featuring a 50-megapixel IMX766 primary sensor, an IMX688 ultra-wide lens, and an IMX351 periscope telephoto lens for long-range zooming. The camera setup is expected to produce stunning photographs, which will be further enhanced by the device’s advanced camera software. Out of the box, the device will run on HarmonyOS 3 software.

According to previous leaks, the Mate X3 will be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with a clock speed of up to 3.2GHz. The device will have a 4800mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging.

The Mate X3 will also feature satellite communication technology, which Huawei is calling “Lingxi Communication.” This feature will allow users to stay connected even in remote areas where traditional cellular networks are not available. Huawei has been barred from using 5G technology so the device will feature only the 4G variant of the chipset.

Huawei has also optimized the device’s screen and hinge to reduce its thickness and weight, bringing it closer to that of a traditional smartphone. Additionally, the device will support wireless charging and have multiple-angle hovering capabilities. Overall, the Huawei Mate X3 is shaping up to be an impressive device that delivers top-of-the-line features and cutting-edge technology.

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.

A few years back, Apple launched the Pro Display XDR, a high-end monitor from the brand and the first display from the company after it discontinued Apple Thunderbolt Display.

Earlier this year, the company launched the Apple Studio Display, and now a new report coming from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg claims that the Cupertino-based tech giant is working on new monitors.

The report adds that Apple is currently working on multiple new external monitors, including an upgraded version of the Pro Display XDR that was launched along with the Mac Pro in 2019.

It is further said that the upcoming monitors from the company will come powered by Apple Silicon chips, similar to how the Studio Display is powered by the Apple A13 Bionic chip. However, as of now, not many details are known about the upcoming displays from the brand.

Currently, there’s no timeline available for the launch of new external displays from Apple, but as per the reports, the new Mac Pro is further along in development compared to the updated Pro Display XDR.

Earlier, reports indicated that Apple is planning to launch a new 27-inch Mini-LED display in the first quarter of 2023, but not much is known about the product yet. It is speculated that this monitor could be a new Studio Display with ProMotion, but it has not been confirmed yet.

So far, all the external displays or monitors launched by Apple have been in the high-end category with premium pricing. It remains to be seen if any of the new monitors that the company is working on end up in the affordable segment.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip 4 foldable smartphone earlier this year, which is an improvement over its predecessor not only in terms of specifications but also in design. Now, the company is gearing up to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 smartphone is now expected to come with a few design changes, and one of them includes a larger cover display on the phone’s back panel.

According to display analyst Ross Young (via TomsGuide), the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip lineup will come with a larger 3-inch cover display compared to the 1.9-inch screen on the current-gen Galaxy Z Flip 4.

A larger cover display has been one of the demands of a set of users, and it appears that the South Korean giant has listened to the users. However, it’s just a rumor at this point in time, but we will wait for a couple of more such reports to confirm if it’s true.

The upcoming Galaxy Z Flip foldable smartphone would become more appealing if the device gets a larger display, allowing users to see more content and be much clear to read. Apart from the cover display, the company is also expected to upgrade the hinge mechanism to make it less noticeable.

As of now, not much is known about the upcoming foldable smartphone from Samsung, but we expect to know more details in the coming months as the device’s launch nears and rumors and leaks start surfacing online, revealing specs, features, and other key details.

Supply problems caused by excessive demand during the Covid-19 period have disappeared. This causes many companies to experience a decrease in their sales and to paint a statistically lousy picture. Unfortunately, technology manufacturers and suppliers are at the forefront of the sectors experiencing problems. However, according to Omdia’s latest report, display demand expected to rebound in 2023.

Omdia research finds display demand expected to rebound in 2023

Omdia’s latest Display long-term demand forecast tracker indicates that demand for displays in 2023 will grow by 6.2% year-on-year. The sector went through a challenging period, especially in 2022, due to increased inflation and interest rates. A decline was expected following the Covid-19 pandemic, but global economic conditions, supply problems and the energy crisis have worsened the situation.

In fact, 2022 will go down in history as the first year when flat panel displays see negative growth in space demand. Yet, according to Ricky Park, Senior Principal Analyst in Omdia’s Display research practice, if there are signs that inflation will decrease and the global economy will give positive signals, this trend will change in 2023 and 2024.

Park said on the subject: “panel prices and retail prices that have fallen for more than a year can stimulate consumer sentiment, especially the recovery speed of demand for ultra-large sized TVs, which have seen a sharp decline in prices. This will lead to a fast recovery in area demand.”

Big screen gets more common as it gets cheaper

Large panel manufacturers produce 75-inch and above displays to cut costs and increase efficiency. For this reason, the 70-inch TV market is expected to grow by more than 15% in 2022 and reach from 18 million to 21 million in 2023. There are also positive developments in OLED. This technology is expected to improve the image quality and increase its market share by reducing the price in the coming years.

Apple recently unveiled the flagship iPhone 14 lineup of smartphones, and now the rumors about the next-generation iPhone SE, which will be the fourth version in the series, have started surfacing online.

In the latest development, Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) has revealed what the upcoming iPhone SE model would feature in terms of display.

According to Ross Young, the Apple iPhone SE 4 will come with a 6.1-inch LCD display and will have a notch on top of the screen. He says that he has revised his expectations from what he previously suggested.

Earlier, he indicated that the next-generation iPhone SE could come with a display between 5.7-inch and 6.1-inch and feature a punch-hole cutout on top of the screen for the front-facing camera sensors.

It is not yet known if the notch of the upcoming iPhone SE will contain TrueDepth camera array for Face ID feature similar to what other models in the lineup offer. There are some reports which indicate that Apple will stick with the Touch ID for SE model and not offer the Face ID feature.

There are also several reports which suggest that Apple is planning to add Touch ID Side button to the next-generation iPhone SE as there will not be much space on the front side of the device for a capacitive Touch ID Home button.

Since Apple has used design of the older iPhone models for the SE series phones, it appears that the iPhone SE 4 will be similar to the iPhone X in terms of design, which was launched around in five years ago.

OnePlus has been gearing up to launch its first smartwatch under the Nord branding, dubbed as OnePlus Nord Watch. The device is yet to make its official debut despite it being leaked several months ago.

Now, in the latest development, the company has officially revealed some of the key details about the smartwatch’s display ahead of the launch in the coming weeks.

The teaser images for the OnePlus Nord Watch shared by the company reveals that the device will come with a rectangular screen. The company has also confirmed that it will feature a 1.78-inch display, which is a bit bigger compared to the 1.39-inch screen on the company’s existing OnePlus Watch.

It has also been confirmed that the display on the upcoming smartwatch will come with support for a screen resolution of 368 x 448 pixels. Although it is lower than what the competition is offering, the company isn’t shying away from tagging it as “high” resolution.

Further, the company adds that the AMOLED display on the OnePlus Nord Watch will offer up to 500nit brightness. The company has not revealed more details about the product, but reports indicate that it could offer a 10-day battery life.

We expect OnePlus to keep sharing more details about the upcoming smartwatch through teasers and posters as the launch date nears. The company has not yet confirmed the launch date, but it should go official in the coming days.
