According to a new report, Apple has asked SAMSUNG DISPLAY to develop microOLED panels in order to increase its supply ahead of the launch of its widely rumored augmented and virtual reality glasses.
According to The Elec, Apple, Meta, and its parent company, SAMSUNG, have requested the development of the micro displays.
MicroLED appears set to become a key technology in the augmented and virtual reality headset market as multiple companies gear up to launch rival products, despite the fact that the panels are expected to have low profitability.
The displays are thinner, smaller, and more power efficient because they are built directly onto chip wafers. They are ideal for augmented and virtual reality applications due to their smaller size and faster response time.
There are rumors that Apple's augmented reality headset will have two to three displays, with at least two being high-resolution 4K micro-OLED displays. Sony is expected to supply the display modules that Apple will use, according to a report.
For peripheral vision where a lower resolution would be acceptable, a conventionalOLED panel will be supplied by SAMSUNG DISPLAY. The second- generation device will be supplied by the display division of the Korean company.
Apple's first headset is expected to be unveiled at a special event in January of next year, and the follow-up device is expected to launch in 2025.
