Apple may Adopt Next-Gen OLED Displays for 2017 iPads

Last week a Korean report surfaced regarding Apple's iPad Pro 12.9 inch displays shifting to Oxide TFT LCD. The time frame discussed was 2015. Today, the same Korean source is now reporting that Apple iPad displays used in the late 2016-2017 time frame will shift to next-gen OLED displays.

The Company behind the new iPad displays will reportedly be "JOLED" which was formed last year. The Company is a joint venture backed by the following: Innovation Network Corporation of Japan, Japan Display Inc., Sony Corporation ("Sony") and Panasonic Corporation.

It was noted in their 2014 press release that "JOLED plans to focus primarily on development of medium-size OLED displays for use in tablets, mobile PCs, and signage, where the unique features of OLED, including lightness/thinness and flexibility, can be leveraged. JOLED will aim to bring innovative products by leveraging flexible display technologies, aiming for improved moldability and durability as well as further reduction in weight."

Today's Korean report states that Japan JOLED is to create a panel for Apple's iPad. The report oddly didn't show up in the English version of their news site. A google translation of the key part of the article is a little rough but here's the gist of it:

"Apple has preferred an oxide (oxide) TFT LCD for Tablet PC until recently. Apple remained with LCD crystal, because more than half the power consumption can be reduced significantly. The product can be reduced by reducing the thickness of the battery. However, there's a low yield problem.

Apple requires a low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) method OLED in JOLED, planning a new process changes. The initial production volume is 60,000 glass negatives commitment per month (60K) known to be a scale.

The first full-scale mass production will be the end of next year, starting with a product sample shipments for Apple iPad."

All OLED attributes.

Retina Display An awesome display of progress.The key to the iPad experience is the display. It’s how you interact using Multi-Touch, and how you view content in spectacular detail. So we created our most vivid Retina display ever. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro has the highest resolution of any iOS device. And the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro screen — our most advanced display — is the brightest and least reflective in the world.

9.7' / 2048×1536screen resolution

12.9' / 2732×2048screen resolution

A color standard big enough for Hollywood.The 9.7-inch iPad Pro display uses the same color space as the digital cinema industry. This wider color gamut gives iPad Pro up to 25 percent greater color saturation than previous iPad models. So colors are more vivid, true to life, and engaging.
