Apple aims to adopt tandem OLEDs in its next iPad Pro tablets

What They Say

The Elec reports that Apple would like to adopt OLED for its iPad Pro tablets next year, but has asked LG Display and Samsung Display to develop tandem OLEDs, with a additional emissive layer, to improve the life time of the materials. This was not seen as needed for smartphones, but the tablets have longer periods of use.

An alternative is for Apple to adopt miniLED backlights, although this would potentially increase the thickness of the display.

What We Think

OLED vs miniLED is clearly the big question for 2021. (BR)
