One of Apple's leading mini-LED suppliers says demand for displays in consumer products is shrinking while demand for mini-LED in other use cases is rising as Apple eyes a transition to move its iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/) and MacBook line to OLED displays in the coming years. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2021/11/Oled-iPads-and-MackBook-Pro-Notch.jpg) A new report from DigiTimes (https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20221227PD203.html) today cites industry sources within Epistar, which has been providing mini-LED displays to Apple for some time, saying that demand for mini-LED displays for use in consumer electronic devices is decreasing and that it expects demand for mini-LED displays for use in dashboards and displays for vehicles to spike in 2023. A report last week (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/12/21/samsung-display-oled-ipad-pro/) suggested Samsung is now prioritizing the development of specific types of OLED displays that Apple plans to use in upcoming iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/) models. According to reports, Apple is expected to announce the first iPad Pro with an OLED display in 2024 (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/10/19/ipad-pro-oled-display-2024/), which has sparked mini-LED suppliers to eye other applications for its displays, according to DigiTimes. Alongside an OLED ‌iPad Pro‌, Apple is also rumored to launch a 13-inch MacBook Air with an OLED display in 2024 (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/12/12/oled-macbook-air-ipad-pro-2024/). Apple is also considering using an OLED panel in an upcoming iPhone SE (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-se/) refresh, but the company is debating between using an LCD or OLED display (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/10/31/iphone-se-4-2024-display-rumors/), according to reliable display analyst Ross Young. <div class="linkback">Tags: digitimes.com (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/digitimes-com/), OLED (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/oled/), OLED iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/oled-ipad-pro/)</div> This article, "Apple Mini-LED Display Supplier Says Demand Shrinking As Rumors Suggest Transition to OLED in Coming Years (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/12/29/apple-mini-led-suppliers-oled/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-mini-led-display-supplier-says-demand-shrinking-as-rumors-suggest-transition-to-oled-in-coming-years.2375130/) in our forums Source: Apple Mini-LED Display Supplier Says Demand Shrinking As Rumors Suggest Transition to OLED in Coming Years (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/12/29/apple-mini-led-suppliers-oled/) |
