What signal is Sent If Apple switches to OLED in 2024?

According to Economic Daily News (EDN) in Taiwan, Mini LED is being used more and more widely and the trend is led by Apple in these years. However, recently news come that Apple will use OLED in 2024 instead. What kind of market signal does this move release?

This shows that Micro LED, Mini LED and OLED will each get its fair share in the market in 2024.

Sources point out that Apple's latest iPhone and all Apple Watch have adopted OLED, and iPad and MacBook series products in the future are expected to adopt OLED as well. Apple has transitioned its iPad and MacBook series products to be with Mini LED over the past year, but the market speculates that Apple will introduce OLED panels to these products in the next step.

However, this rumor has been more than once, and it is not accurate.

As far as terminal applications are concerned, at present, Mini LED and OLED feature different applications due to different characteristics and prices. If we look to 2024, it is expected that the high-end display industry will be in a situation where Micro LED. LED, Mini LED and OLED will coexist, each owning its market share, and the influence of a single-brand factory will be weakened in the future.

It is well known that Apple, as a leader in the technology and fashion industry, adopts Mini LED and Micro LED display for the main screen of the products, which is obvious to all to contribute to the new generation of LED display technology. However, it is undeniable that as Mini LED has been defined as a transitional technology from the beginning to become the first choice of backlight solution for widely used TV terminals, the practical application of Mini LED has significantly improved the status of Mini LED industry and has become a popular application at present.

This development momentum can be clearly seen from the continuous big industrial investment and scale expansion in the past few years. Today, the industrial strength around Mini LED display technology has become strong. Micro LED, known as the ultimate display technology, meets the rigid needs of continuous upgrading of display technology from various key factors such as industrial development trend, technological application advantages, and market demand characteristics. This has long become a clear consensus on the development of "future display technology" among industry giants. It can be seen that no matter how influential any single company is, it is difficult to influence and change the overall development of Mini LED and Micro LED display technology.
