Ming-Chi Kuo: Mini LED To Enter Mass Production Next Month
Ming-Chi Kuo has released the latest Apple research report, saying that in 2022, the iPad will use both mini LED and OLED screens.
The report pointed out that MacBook is the most important application of mini LED, while for iPad, it focuses on high-end models. It is expected that the new MacBook Air will use a mini LED in 2022, and only high-end models of iPad will use a mini LED.
The report predicts that the iPad will use both mini LED and OLED screen technologies in the future. The latest industry survey pointed out that if the iPad uses OLED screens in 2022, it will use the mid-to-low-end iPad Air, while the high-end iPad Pro will still use mini LEDs. Because the OLED used in the iPad is a rigid board type and the PPI is significantly lower than that of the iPhone, the production difficulty is lower and the cost is close to the current LCD display used in the iPad Air.
