Apple Is Developing Its Own Microled Screens For Apple Watches by Itzpetersv: 2:50pm On Mar 19, 2018
Bloomberg reported on Monday that the Giant tech company is working on a new type of LED display in a secret facility in California

The screen tech, which is called MicroLED, is similar to OLED in some aspects; the two don’t require backlight and offer better contrast than LCDs but has better brightness and consumes less energy. However, MicroLED is harder to produce than OLED, which is why the technology hasn’t been successfully commercialized yet.

Apple showing interest in MicroLED is not a new stuff; the company acquired MicroLED developer LuxVue in May 2014. Back then, rumors had it that Apple will use MicroLED in its then-upcoming Watch, but the company ended up using an OLED screen.

But it appears that Apple have no given up on MicroLED.

According to Bloomberg‘s report, Apple almost suspended the project a few years back but the company’s engineers made significant progress and the development is now at an advanced” stage.

It could still take a couple of years more until we actually see a MicroLED screen in an Apple product. And when it happens, it will likely be on the Apple Watch.

Bloomberg‘s sources claim Apple had successfully built a MicroLED Apple Watch prototype.
