Apple Reportedly in Talks With PlayNitride Over Thinner and Brighter MicroLED Displays

So rumor commnfirmed.

Somewhere, somehow, they'll make it happen. Jony has a boner for thinness.

Where I live I see massive watches on guys writs.

I agree, big watches are a thing these days. It seems to me that the fetish for huge, thick watches is related to admiration for high-end, mechanical watches, e.g. Rolex, Patek, etc., which can be quite large. Bigger watches = more expensive, prestigious, etc., to some.

Even after a decade of R&D, microLED will continue to be the "Liquid Metal" of displays for years to come:

I.e. just like LM, it sounds cooler than it is, and barring a breakthrough, is as yet impractical to make in high volume.

I don't think anyone's even made a close up resolution RGB microLED display yet. All the watch-sized displays seem to be monochromatic.

That's why so far, everyone is concentrating on using microLEDs in either giant 30 PPI TV screens, or as high resolution single color backlights.

Hopefully one day someone will figure out how to mass produce it in a type suitable for mobile devices, but so far nobody's even close.

MicroLED displays have many of the same advantages as OLED displays have over LCDs, including improved color accuracy.
I thought LCD Display has better color accuracy than OLED, i hate the blue tint in OLED when viewed at some angles.
