Apple partners with Samsung Display: Micro OLED panels for future AR/VR headsets

Apple has asked Samsung Display to develop micro-OLED panels in an effort to diversify supply ahead of the launch of ubiquitous AR/VR glasses next year, according to a report from CNbeta.

Samsung Display will reportedly supply traditional OLED panels for Apple’s AR/VR glasses, perhaps for peripheral vision, where lower resolutions are acceptable. Samsung Display will then try to offer micro LED panels for the second-generation device. Apple’s AR/VR headset is rumored to have two or three displays, at least two of which are high-resolution 4K micro-OLED displays with up to 3,000 pixels per inch.

The structure of micro OLED displays differs from conventional displays by being built directly on a chip wafer rather than a glass substrate, which makes the display thinner, smaller and more power efficient. Due to the proximity to the eye, the technology only allows pixel sizes between 4 and 20 microns, while standard OLED panels have pixel sizes of 40 to 300 microns, in addition, they have a faster microsecond response time, so that they can become AR/ Ideal for VR applications.
