Apple supplier BOE recently retooled one of its factories in China to produce larger OLED displays for devices other than smartphones, including tablets and computers.
BOE may be looking to supply OLED displays for future iPads after becoming a supplier of displays for the iPhone 13 last year. The repurposed factory will be able to manufacture displays up to 15 inches, but it remains to be seen whether Apple will release a 15-inch iPad. Apple has explored the idea of an iPad with a larger display, but said it would be years away from release, if ever.
The factory will have the ability to manufacture OLED displays with two red, green and blue emitting layers, which could lead to brighter displays for future iPads. However, it remains to be seen whether BOE can successfully commercialize these panels due to the complexity of the technology. Apple currently sources OLED displays for iPhones from Samsung and LG, but it often tries to diversify its supply chain to reduce the risk of relying on a single supplier and ensure competitive prices.
The above is the detailed content of BOE will make up to 15-inch OLED displays for future iPads. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
