This year’s iPad Pro, powered by Apple’s M4 chip, features what the company claims is “the world’s most advanced display” called Tandem OLED — two OLED panels stacked on top of each other. LG and Samsung have managed to replicate this solution at the micro-OLED level, meaning the Vision Pro 2’s displays could be even better.
LG and Samsung have successfully created prototypes of micro-OLED Tandem OLED displays, the Korean publication reports Remaining Journaland now both companies are looking for customers whose orders would help launch serial production of such screens. A promising target for this technology is the next-generation Apple Vision Pro augmented reality headset. The current version of the device uses a micro-OLED display from Sony, and they are considered the most expensive components of the device.
The two Korean electronics giants would undoubtedly like to capture a market share of future Apple Vision products themselves, and Tandem OLED displays for VR headsets could give them a key advantage. In the case of the iPad Pro, Apple noted that two OLED panels can provide a full-screen brightness of 1000 cd/m² for SDR and HDR content, and a peak brightness of 1600 cd/m² for HDR. The solution allows the brightness of each pixel to be changed in a fraction of a millisecond. According to unofficial information, Apple is currently working on a less expensive version of the VR headset, but in 2-3 years, an updated version of the Vision Pro could well feature Tandem OLED displays.
