Samsung is probably building an OLED display for the iPad and Macs 2022

Following recent rumors of the use of an organic LED display on the iPad Air 5  , and according to a new report, Samsung Display has begun production of this type of display in other major companies, and the tech giant has the capacity to produce it for future MacBook and iPad models. Has booked.

Digitimes recently reported that Apple is set to unveil a 16- to 17-inch MacBook Pro with an OLED display next year. It is also said that Apple plans to equip the 10.9-inch and 12.9-inch iPads with the mentioned screens in the same year.

The report comes as Apple recently introduced the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with a mini-LED display, and evidence suggests that the next 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro will also be equipped with this type of display. It is also said that the next generation MacBook Air will use a mini-LED display next year to immerse users in visual content; So it is not clear why Apple intends to change the display technology of its products in a very short time.

One of the reasons for Apple to use the OLED display may be the problem of LCD light staining based on mini-LED backlight. Evidence shows that the Mini-LED display has a light spot problem in some scenarios. This phenomenon occurs when the brightness of the content is such that the sensor pixels are saturated. This saturation usually appears as white areas on the image that correspond to the intensity of the light source. The data is transferred from light-sensitive pixels on the image sensor to the registry shift records and then turned on for processing. In areas where a large amount of light (photons) is received per pixel, the light reaches the adjacent pixels and registers, which transmit it outward, creating visible lines in the image.

OLED displays do not have the problem of light spots due to their self-emitting pixels; So they could be a better option, and this is probably one of the reasons why Apple only intends to change the display technology of the iPad after a short time. The Cupertinos now use OLED displays in products such as the iPhone, Apple Watch, and the Pro MacBook Pro adaptive display called the Touch Bar. Of course, it seems that in the coming years, Apple will equip most of its products with this type of display.

According to previous reports, the first models (iPad Air) will use flexible OLED and thin film encapsulation (TFE) and the more advanced models (iPad and MacBook Pro) will use the flexible OLED display similar to the iPhone. Earlier, Bloomberg’s Mark German reported that Apple is likely to develop a high-profile iPad Pro with a 16-inch display that could reduce the distance between the iPad and the Mac. This product also seems to have a high chance of using the advanced OLED panel.
