Apple partner supplier TSMC is reportedly developing advanced micro OLED display technology for use in a rumored “Apple Glass” AR headset, though the hardware is unlikely to see integration in the near future.
Citing sources familar with Apple’s plans, Nikkei on Wednesday reported that the in-house display initiative is in the trial production phase, meaning mass manufacturing for consumer products is several years out.Unlike traditional LED panels and OLED modules used in current portable electronics, micro OLED technology promises high-resolution, high-efficiency performance in a compact package. The displays are built directly onto wafers, not glass substrates, making the overall system significantly thinner and smaller than conventional displays. As such, the technology lends itself nicely to wearable augmented reality devices, sources said.
