Why OLED Panels For iPad Pro?
Apple aims to bring more competition into the market. For this, the company aims to introduce OLED into its new devices. Ultimately, this addition will help Apple in reducing the panel price.
For now, LG and Samsung Display may supply the new panels. The reason is that these companies have strong ties with Cupertino. Currently, Cupertino is sourcing panels for iPhones. Apple now aims to reduce its dependency on sourced parts.
The best part about OLED displays is that they consume less power. On the other hand, LCD requires more power to operate. Moreover, OLED displays feature self-emitting pixels. Moreover, it has no backlighting.
Therefore, these displays will ultimately increase the battery life of your device. There will be an improvement in the contrast ratio.
