Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics have equipped some of their flagship smartphones with flexible panels, but the display has yet to enter the mainstream due to short supply. Samsung Display dominates the small and medium OLED panel industry with a market share of more than 90 percent, while rival LG Display focuses on large OLED panels as its next growth area.Īccording to market researcher IHS Markit, the global flexible OLED industry is expected to post 150 percent sales growth this year, compared with a year ago, driven mainly by more high-end smartphones adopting flexible panels. Samsung is the only firm holding high-end technologies to mass-produce small OLED panels, used mainly for smart portable devices such as smartphones. Samsung has in recent years promoted OLED displays as the future design standard in the smartphone industry, thanks largely to their excellent color reproduction and low power consumption. While Samsung has equipped its smartphones with OLED panels, Apple has stuck with LCDs for its iPhone and iPad tablet lineups.īut as the OLED panels offer many design options for device manufacturers, observers say Apple may have no choice but to jump on the OLED bandwagon. There have been rumors the iPhone will be equipped with OLED screens, which can also be foldable.Ĭhances are some of the 70 million handsets will not be delivered to customers this year and shipped next year, depending on demand, the Japanese media quoted IHS senior director David Hsieh as saying. "We cannot reveal any information about ongoing contracts with our clients," a Samsung official said. Samsung declined to comment, citing contract terms. The Seoul-based smartphone and parts maker is preparing to supply up to 95 million panels because demand for the new iPhone may outstrip Apple's expectations, according to the report. Apple claim that in its cinema mode you could have a 100ft screen sitting in front of you to watch films on.Apple has ordered 70 million bendable organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels from Samsung Electronics for the next iPhone, overseas media said Tuesday.Īccording to the Nikkei Asian Review, the OLED panels will be used in Apple's new flagship smartphone, tentatively named the iPhone 8, which will come out on the 10th anniversary of the Apple handset line in the latter half of this year. The Apple Vision Pro supports wide colour and high dynamic range. This adds up to 23 million pixels packed into two displays, each one the size of a postage stamp. The backplane uses Apple Silicon with an RGB (Red Green Blue) arrangement, with Apple Technology Development Group VP Mike Rockwell saying that for every pixel on an iPhone there are 64 more on the Apple Vision Pro. What does that mean for the Apple Vision Pro? That’s a big increase in resolution, sharpness and detail. Therefore a 0.5-inch display with Micro OLED can reach up to 4000 pixels per inch (ppi) compared to 580 ppi on a smartphone with a 5-inch display. The more OLEDs there are, the higher the pixel density can be. The Organic Light Emitting Diodes (or OLED) sit on top, and thousands of these can be added. Micro OLED, or micro-OLED as it’s also referred to, is a silicon-based display that uses monocrystalline silicon wafers as the backplane (essentially a circuit board). Other manufacturers like Moto have follow suit with the brighter more colorful displays, and Google has pretty much demanded AMOLED displays on their Nexus lineup as well. So what is Micro OLED and why has Apple chosen the tech for its first foray into VR headsets? What is Micro OLED? Samsung has been one of the leaders in AMOLED displays on their Galaxy lineup of phones for years. ![]() The worst kept secret in Silicon Valley was revealed at Apple’s WWDC 2023 conference when the Vision Pro headset was revealed.Īpple’s alternate reality/virtual reality headset has ambitions of offering an unrivalled experience compared to the competition, and one way it aims to achieve this target is through the two Micro OLED screens that it uses for its display. ![]()
