Apple to Release OLED iPad Air Next Year, OLED iPad Pro in 2023 [Report]

A new report from TheElec claims that Apple will release a new 10.86-inch OLED iPad next year, likely an updated iPad Air.

The 10.86-inch OLED iPad launching next year will use rigid OLED and thin-film encapsulation (TFE). TFE is a technology usually reserved for flexible OLED. It stacks organic material and inorganic material in alternatively in layers to protect the organic material from water and oxygen. Rigid OLED usually use glass substrates and glass encapsulation.

The iPad is said to use low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistor (TFT) and red, green and blue emission layers similar to the iPhone.

In 2023, the site says Apple could release new 11-inch and 12.9-inch OLED iPads which would likely be updated iPad Pro models.

For the iPads launching in 2023, Cupterino could use flexible OLED over rigid OLED. It could also change the TFT from LTPS to low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO). The RGB emission layer could also be the “tandem” structure where two layers of them are stacked together.
