‘Apple Glass gets screens from micro-oled’

That writes Nikkei Asia. The publication has spoken with sources claiming to be involved in the collaboration. According to them, TSMC will supply micro-OLed screens to Apple. These types of screens can be made much thinner than other types, such as OLED or LCD.

This is convenient, because spectacle lenses are generally not very thick. Furthermore, micro-OLed consumes less energy than other display types, which benefits the usage time. According to Nikkei, Apple and TSMC are still in the development phase. The mass production of micro-OLED screens would not start until the end of 2022 or early 2023.

“Apple works with TSMC because Apple is very good at making thin but powerful products. TSMC, on the other hand, has a lot of knowledge in the field of screen technology in house, ”an anonymous source told Nikkei.

The publication further indicates that Apple has hired dozens of screen technology experts from Taiwan and Japan, among others. The first experiments with micro-OLED will therefore take place in Taiwan.

TSMC and Apple have been working together for some time. The former contributes to the processors that are in iPhones and iPads. The new M1 chip in the most recent MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini has also been co-developed by TSMC.
