MicroLED is a superior screen panel technology compared to OLED. It has a brighter screen, more accurate colours, less risk of tuna screen (burn-in) and also saves power. Apple had planned to use this screen on the new Apple Watch Ultra by ordering from LG. However, this project was cancelled and LG is now reportedly demanding compensation. So, what should you know about it?
For your information, Apple's reason for cancelling it is because of the cost of development and expensive microLED screen manufacturers just for the watch. Instead, micro LEDs will be used on iPhones, iPads and MacBooks. However, because Apple had initially discussed with LG and LG had prepared including making investments, appointing new people for proper positions, moving machines in the factory and more hundreds of billions of Won have been spent.
According to The Elec, although LG does not have any official contract with Apple they still want compensation for the preparations that have been made. Apple has not given any feedback on this matter. For the time being, it seems that it will be too late for us to see microLED screens used in Apple products.
