LG and Samsung are gearing up for the new OLED iPad Pros

Samsung and LG are preparing their factories for mass production of the first iPads with OLED displays, ETNews reported.

The source describes the screens as “hybrid” panels, using a combination of flexible and rigid OLED technologies.

Apple plans to introduce new 13-inch MacBook Air, 11.1-inch iPad Pro and 13-inch iPad Pro models with OLED displays in 2024, multiple analysts have confirmed.

iPad Pros are expected to use “dual-battery” OLED displays with dual red, green and blue emission layers for increased brightness. There is also talk of the presence of ProMotion technology for a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.

All iPads and MacBooks currently shipping have backlit LCD displays, while OLED displays have self-emitting pixels and require no backlighting, allowing for a higher contrast ratio, greater color accuracy, and reduced energy consumption. Apple already uses OLED screens for the latest Apple Watch and iPhone models, with the exception of the iPhone SE.
