Future AR/VR headsets from Apple and Meta may be using micro OLED panels from Samsung.
TheElec claims Samsung Display received requests from some customers including Apple, Meta and its parent company Samsung. micro OLED has not been a focus for Samsung Display as the company did not deem the technology as profitable. In addition, the AR/VR headset market is still very small with little or no demand.
LG Display is also developing micro OLED technology and plans to secure a deal with Apple. This adds extra pressure on Samsung Display to compete for a piece of the pie.
Apple is rumoured to be announcing its mixed reality headset early next year. The Information reported in 2021 that the mixed reality headset will have two ultra high-resolution 8K displays.
