Apple is giving up LCD: iPad Air will use OLED screen

According to media reports on August 9, Apple will launch OLED iPad Air and OLED iPad mini in 2026, abandoning the existing LCD screen. The report pointed out that the OLED panels required for the iPad Air are provided by Samsung on the grounds that Samsung has greater production capacity than LG Display. It is reported that Samsung produces about 135,000 OLED panels for iPhone and iPad Pro every month, LG Display produces about 15,000 OLED panels for iPad Pro every month, and about 45,000 OLED panels for iPhone every month. The production capacity gap with Samsung is obvious. It is worth noting that the current iPad Pro uses a dual-layer OLED, which stacks two layers of OLED together like a sandwich cookie, allowing the screen to emit brighter light while also reducing power consumption. Since there are two light-emitting diodes The brightness of double-layer OLED can theoretically be twice that of single-layer OLED, but the cost is higher and the process is more complex. In contrast, the iPad Air will use a single-layer OLED and does not support ProMotion refresh rate adaptation, which Apple uses to reduce costs.
