The apple patent is a bit strong: QLED and OLED combined

The iPhone's display screen is the most expensive component, and in the procurement of the display, Apple has to face the dilemma of Samsung, which is the only supplier of high-end AMOLED panels. Therefore, in the field of display technology, Apple's investment strategy has been very positive. The company hopes to support new suppliers that can compete with Samsung. On the one hand, in the frontier display technology, it is also making large-scale patent research and development.

According to iDropNews, Apple recently applied for a new patent, according to the latest list of patents and patent offices of the US trademark, the patent name is: "Quantum dot LED (QLED) and OLED integrated in the display."

It is reported that the patent refers to the implementation of a quantum dot pixel display technology on a display device, which actually splits the components of a single pixel into several sub-pixels, and then combines the advantages of both QLED and OLED technologies in one pixel.

According to reports, QLED-OLED technology allows the display to display more "pure" colors while consuming less power and extending the life of the screen. In addition, in theory, the QLED display is thinner than the OLED display, so the QLED-OLED hybrid display will also become thinner.

From these advantages, the QLED-OLED hybrid display will be the perfect choice for Apple Watch devices and other wearable devices.
