Future iPads may use Samsung's new OLED display

Samsung currently holds the top spot in the global smartphone display market. Apple buys a lot of these displays for its devices, including iPhones and iPads. However, Apple is now looking for an entirely different type of OLED panel for its future iPads, and Samsung could once again seal a deal.

Samsung is currently developing a new OLED display based on what sources claim is a "dual tandem structure." Compared to displays based on a single tandem structure, dual tandem OLED panels mean twice the brightness and four times the life expectancy. Samsung calls it T1 internally, with the "T" standing for tandem.

An iPad with a display based on a dual tandem architecture is unlikely to be launched anytime soon. If the report is to be believed, these iPads with the new display technology will debut sometime in 2024. The report also claims that new dual-tandem structure OLED displays will also be introduced to MacBook and iMac devices at a later date.

Mass production of the T1 display is expected to begin in 2023, and may first be used by the company itself for its smartphones and tablets. Meanwhile, iPad and Mac devices will use T2 displays, which will be the successor to the T1. Commercial production of T2 displays will begin in 2024.

Apple is currently transitioning to mini-LED display technology for its iPad and Mac devices. Although it's not confirmed yet, one of the reasons for Apple's move to mini-LED technology could be price - they're much cheaper than OLED and micro-LED panels.

The report did not elaborate on why the company wants to adopt a two-layer structure of OLED panels instead of sticking with mini-LEDs. Although OLED panels are more expensive to manufacture than mini-LED display panels, dual series OLEDs may have a more favorable cost-benefit ratio for Apple and Samsung.
