Apple Might Adopt Hybrid Oled Panels For Future Ipads

So why haven’t we seen an OLED iPad yet? Well, because flexible OLED panels tend to look crumpled along the edges in displays larger than 10-inches. The recent iPhones also use flexible OLED panels, but due to their smaller size the crumpling effect is not really noticeable here.  For this reason, Apple is keen to adopt hybrid OLED screens for future iPads. These are some sort of a middle ground between the existing rigid OLEDs and flexible OLEDs. However, according to TheElec, the technology is still in development and will at least take a year from now to mature. Which likely means we won’t be seeing an OLED panel on an iPad until 2024.  – The Elec A recent Digitimes report also further confirms TheElec’s initial story. According to Digitimes,  Apple has added Taiwan SMT as a new supplier for the upcoming iPad’s hybrid OLED screen.  – Omdia Tech
