Some analysts say its quotation range is three times that of existing mobile phone OLED panels. However, since the OLED panel market for tablets is still in its infancy and supply is limited compared to smartphones, shipments are expected to be around 10 million units.

“(LG Display) can supply 6 million iPad OLED panels next year and is expected to achieve sales of 2.3 trillion won and operating profit of 120 billion won,” KB Securities said, “partially offsetting the decline in the company’s profitability.”

This means that LG Display will account for about 60% of the total supply, but it is unclear whether the production line will be able to operate as planned due to delays in equipment investment due to funding issues.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman predicts that the new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models will be released next year and will introduce OLED displays, M3 chips and aluminum Magic Keyboards to the iPad product line for the first time.

Considering that OLED displays cannot begin mass production until February, it is unlikely to launch the next-generation iPad Pro in March. It is more likely to be WWDC in June or later, but Apple’s plans are still likely to change. For example, it will be released for a period of time before it is officially launched for sale.

The existing iPad Pro has an LCD panel, and the 12.9-inch model also features mini-LED backlight technology, which improves brightness and contrast.

In contrast, OLED technology will eliminate the need for a backlight on the iPad and can bring higher brightness, contrast and darker blacks, and lower power consumption.

Ross Young said that Apple will use a very thin hybrid OLED display that combines flexible and rigid materials, which may make the next iPad Pro design even thinner and lighter.

Existing iPad Pro models support ProMotion variable refresh rate, allowing adjustment between 24Hz and 120Hz, while new OLED models may further reduce the lower limit of the refresh rate to 10Hz or lower, thus helping to improve battery life (Note: iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro can reach a minimum of 1Hz).

In addition to the two iPad Pros mentioned above, Apple is expected to update the iPad Air, iPad mini and entry-level iPad in 2024, but these models are unlikely to use OLED screens, and most likely they will just upgrade the chips.

The last time Apple updated the iPad Pro series was in October 2022. The main upgrades at that time were the M2 chip, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support, the hover function of the second-generation Apple Pencil, and support for ProRes video recording. Some netizens think the upgrade is minor.

The report said that Samsung Display is currently developing transparent OLED with quantum dot technology and plans to launch a trial product in the second half of this year at the earliest. The source said that Samsung Display has not set a specific time for mass production of transparent OLED, and it is still not possible to determine the application areas for the panel.

Reports indicate that Samsung Display had released a 55-inch transparent OLED panel in 2015, but in the end did not actually mass production. Samsung’s biggest rival, LG, has successfully mass-produced transparent OLEDs for applications such as store windows and airplane portholes.

The company’s newest product is the LG Transparent OLED, which is the world’s only mass-produced transparent OLED panel manufacturer. This move also brings great competitive pressure to Samsung Display.

The global transparent OLED market will only have a market size of 100 billion won in 2022, but analysts expect it to increase to 3 trillion won by 2025 and to 12 trillion won by 2030.

TCL CSOT OLED wearable technology uses low-temperature injection molding to fill the Bending R area of the screen body and fit the surrounding back-shaped middle frame, reducing the black border area of the screen from 3.1mm to 1.65mm, achieving a screen-to-body ratio of up to 83%.

TCL CSOT OLED wearable technology can not only narrow the black border of the screen through low-temperature injection molding process, but also increase the pendulum inertia of the screen body to about 570%, which greatly reduces the screen failure problem that may be caused by the screen being hit hard by foreign objects. The related structure diagram of IT Home is as follows:

At present, TCL CSOT OLED wearable technology has completed mass production and development, which will bring a new user experience of wearable devices.

Flex Hybrid

Among these innovations, Samsung will showcase a display called “Flex Hybrid” that will combine foldable and slidable features, which Samsung says is a prototype for future laptops, and official renderings have been released.

The Flex Hybrid has a foldable design on the left and a slideable design on the right. Users can watch movies and videos on the 10.5-inch display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, or on a larger 12.4-inch screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio.

Samsung Display did not elaborate on when we can expect Flex Hybrid in commercial products. TCL showed off something similar last year, combining a foldable and rollable display, but we haven’t seen any actual devices with such screens yet.

While these concept products are very interesting, their commercial viability is another matter. Manufacturing products at scale using these unique displays can be a challenge for a variety of reasons.

Meanwhile, Samsung Display will also show off a 17-inch slideable display at CES in 2023. The company previously previewed the screen at Intel Innovation 2022, but this will be its first public appearance. The monitor comes in two designs, one called the Flex Slidable Solo which expands in one direction, and the other called the Flex Slidable Duet which expands in two directions. The monitor measures 13-14 inches when folded, making it highly portable.

According to ETNews, Samsung Display will showcase the world’s first foldable + slideable OLED panel at the CES 2023 expo later this week. However, the company will only demonstrate the technology behind closed doors to its partners. The South Korean company is reportedly calling it a hybrid panel. As the name suggests, this kind of screen supports folding and sliding at the same time. After unfolding, by sliding, another part of the screen will come out. When fully folded, the panel measures 8 inches diagonally. Measures 10 inches when unfolded. And when this hybrid OLED panel is fully unfolded and slid open, it measures 12.4 inches.

The company is reportedly testing the panels for use in devices that can transform from smartphones to tablets and laptops depending on the user’s needs, which would be quite expensive. It is unclear when Samsung Display will start mass producing such screens, as even device makers will need to implement this advanced technology in their products to use this foldable + slideable screen. Devices require extremely advanced hinges and metal plates to hold such displays.

Samsung is trying to expand the market for OLED panels by developing advanced form factors. Already in many smartwatches, fitness bands, smartphones and tablets, OLED screens are slowly spreading to laptop and PC monitors. Hybrid OLED panels could also be used in car interiors, as they expand and slide away to expand the screen real estate.

The DigiTimes report cites industry sources at Epistar, which has been supplying mini-LED displays to Apple for some time, as saying that demand for mini-LED displays for consumer electronics is declining and that demand for mini-LED displays for dashboards and automotive displays is expected to spike in 2023.

Reports indicate that Samsung is now prioritizing the development of a specific type of OLED display that Apple plans to use in the new iPad Pro model. According to DigiTimes, Apple is expected to announce the first iPad Pro with an OLED display in 2024, prompting mini-LED suppliers to look at other areas of application for their displays.

In addition to the OLED iPad Pro, Apple is also expected to launch the MacBook Air 13-inch with an OLED display in 2024, according to the leak. According to to display analyst Ross Young, Apple is also considering using OLED panels in the new iPhone SE model but is still discussing whether to use LCD or OLED displays.

LG Display has been supplying transparent OLED displays to transit companies in China and Japan since 2020, so we can already see it in action inside some subway trains in major Chinese cities (including Beijing, Shenzhen and Fuzhou) as well as some above-ground trains in Japan. Seeing the transition between mostly transparent subway maps and more traditional screens showing station layouts, it feels like we’re inching closer to a world teased by science fiction series like Star Trek.

According to LG Display, the technology uses specialized tempered glass to give its transparent OLED displays greater strength and durability to withstand vibration and strong impacts, allowing them to replace standard train windows. The company proposes to provide some useful applications for the technology, such as displaying maps, news and weather forecasts on the screen while transparent, thus retaining its use as an actual window.

The biggest concern, however, is that the advertising industry may be eyeing it, which LG Display has already mentioned as another use for the technology. Would it be particularly frustrating if advertising replaced the usually gray view we see out of subway car windows? Possibly, but there should be more imagination about how this new technology could be used on surface rail systems.

It’s wonderful to ride a train through a variety of terrain, watch the scenery fly by, and appreciate the world outside. Depending on the frequency of advertising and infotainment, this experience may disappear. We may already be frustrated with similar “innovations” that replace traditional windows with electronic displays, but ordinary windows are just as good. Just let windows be windows.

That said, LG Display says it is looking to expand the use of its transparent OLEDs in trains and subways in North America, Europe, Japan and China, so it may only be a matter of time before they show up in public transportation system near you.
