TrendForce: Apple will introduce Micro LED technology, Apple Watch will be installed first in 2024

CTOnews.com February 1 news, TrendForce Jibang Consulting released a report today that Apple will introduce Micro LED technology into consumer electronics, which is expected to be installed in Apple Watch first in 2024.

The report points out that the new Apple Watch in 2024 will introduce Micro LED as a breakthrough display technology. In addition to expanding the display size to more than 2 inches, the brightness specification can be expected to increase to meet the requirements of outdoor sports enthusiasts and professionals.

CTOnews.com learned that TrendForce Group Consulting believes that Micro LED technology will continue to be introduced into other Apple products after 2024. Benefiting from Apple's pioneering application, the application of Micro LED technology in 2026-2030 has the opportunity to expand to AR glasses, mobile phones, car displays and other devices.

When talking about Apple's delay in entering the field of OLED folding phones, TrendForce Jibang Consulting said that one possible reason why Apple has not yet entered the field of folding OLED is that Micro LED technology not only can flexibly match rigid substrates such as glass and CMOS, but also has a very good match on flexible substrates such as PI. Therefore, in the future, Micro LED may also become a display technology for iPhone products to enter folding, reel, and even extended display, and it can become another key technology for Apple to achieve product innovation and overtake other brands.
