Apple to Adopt LTPO OLED Displays for Next Apple Watch, Enabling Always-On Capability With Improved Power Efficiency
- Apple plans to adopt new LTPO OLED display technology for next Apple Watch to reduce power consumption and support always-on display
- LTPO uses more oxide transistors which lowers leakage current and improves low refresh rate stability
- LG Display expected to lead development of new LTPO OLED tech, while Samsung will join supply chain next year
- Speculation that Apple will expand LTPO OLED to other products like iPhone in the future
- Downside is manufacturing TFT substrates is more complicated with LTPO OLED
