Future iPad Pro and MacBook Pro Models Rumored to Feature Ultra-Bright Double-Stack OLED Displays

Kinda seems like its the other way around...OLED is a stopgap until microLED becomes feasible

When Apple invests in a new display tech, it tends to stick around for a few years. When the MacBook Pros went P3 in 2016, they didn't change it substantially until just now and only added True Tone along the way along with a few additional refresh rates on the Intel "16. Same for the iPad Pros/Air. They still have Liquid Retina on the 11 Inch and Air and just moved the 12.9 to miniLED (and even then, the implementation didn't set the world on fire). The only exception is the iPhone XR/11. I really thought that with the amount of money on R&D they spent to get those together meant that it would be around for at least 3+ years. I think it even caught Apple by surprise that they got the flagship models to have OLED in 2 years. I just don't see them moving off miniLED anytime soon. They aren't gonna put OLED on iPads for the same reasons they didn't on Macs.
off angle, blue pixels fading/shifting and so on
More mini-leds with more dimming zones is the way to improved...20.000 mini-led and until micro-LED nothing cant beat that
Oled needs 2 layers already to reach the potential of mini-led big displays ...
Do you realise that 5 years from now,oled will have improved ? Heck,it's already improved,see the oled laptops,burn in is more than decent on them(Alienware,dell,and stuff)
Even if oled doesn't improve tremendously,the double stack would allow to have more brightness from the combined panels while actually reducing the brightness of each panel separately,meaning less Burn in again
Besides,if they also implement some good **** like on IOS (I'm talking about pixel shift ),we shall be good.
With that said I am,like you,pretty doubtful about it
I also realize that if this is true,it means micro-led won't be mainstream until at least 8 years from now ,since I can't see apple implementing a tech that they kick off 1-2 years after ...2028 that is lol
Mini led isn't that bad after all haha
First, I believe that my iPad Pro 12.9” goes from 10Hz to 120Hz. The new Macbook Pro‘s go from 24Hz to 120Hz.
secondly, it’s presented as though Apple is just now interested in micro LED. Apple has done R&D on micro LED before most anyone else, and is considered to be ahead in the area. So this info is nothing new. They’ve purchased various companies involved in it as well. Making micro LEDs for computers and smaller devices is very different from making them for large screen TVs, which is much easier, where the LEDs are more in size to mini LEDs.

Ultra bright? Do I want or need displays that bright? I do a lot of computer work and I'm always lowering the screen brightness to avoid headaches.
Looks like it will take some time. The 11" iPad Pro has to get mini LED first.
The Elec is a media outlet whose job is to promote the Korean semiconductor industry so this "article" could be nothing more than an attempt to showcase Samsung and LG OLED production by "claiming" Apple is considering it, so your company should, too!

Maybe it's just me, but I rarely have my brightness above 50% in normal working conditions.
I think he meant mini led is a stopgap for lcd-mini led- micro led.
oled is in its own class because it’s self emissive and more similar to plasma than anything.
What year/model is it? My experience with newer LG OLED tvs are that they don't suffer from burn-in at all. There are 'behind the scene' technologies that refresh the panel, etc. No burn in for me after several years...
MicroLED is also self-emissive so it has all the benefits of OLED ("pure" blacks, no blooming, etc.) while also not suffering burn-in / image retention.
The brightness is simply for displaying HDR content, which requires substantially higher brightness than SDR content.
Wondering the same thing as I bought a 2021 LG OLED a couple of months ago.
