The new Apple iPad arrives with OLED technology, does this mean that we are done with the era of LCD screens?

The company from Cupertino plans to produce 10 million Apple iPad Pro devices with OLED screens over the next year. Samsung will supply 4 million screens for the new Apple tablet computer, while another South Korean electronics giant, LG, will participate in the production of the remaining 6 million OLED screens.

The latest reports say that the Apple company will not stop only at the most expensive tablet model, but that the iPad Mini will also get OLED technology, as well as the iPad Air product line.

LCD becomes history on Apple iPad devices

Because of this, many are inclined to claim that Apple has definitely ended the era of using LCD screens in its iPad line of devices. Due to such a strategy in the future, Apple plans to expand the list of suppliers from which it will purchase OLED screens.

Compared to the LCD and mini-LED screens currently used in the iPad line of tablet devices, the principle of OLED technology lies in the fact of using multiple thin layers of films made of semiconductors obtained from organic and luminescent materials through which an electric current is passed to achieve emission. light.

The biggest advantage of OLED technology is that it can control each pixel individually, so it can very precisely control the light emission and thus achieve an almost perfectly clean and crystal clear image display.

Since OLED can directly turn off light on an individual pixel when needed, the effect of dark surfaces is almost unbelievable, reports MacRumors.

In addition to the almost perfect level of light control, OLED also has its shortcomings that must be improved over time, such as: color, response speed and viewing angle.
