According to the Korean media ET News, Apple's augmented reality headset supposedly in development will be equipped with Micro Oled screens. If this information corroborates a previous rumor, ET News adds that the screens will be provided by TSMC, already responsible for the A and M processor line of Apple smartphones and computers.
Micro Oled, ultimate technology for augmented/virtual reality applications?
ET News also confirms that the headset would have passed through a test phase as mentioned by another rumor, that it would be equipped with a variant of the M1 chip, and would run on iOS (what about RealityOS ?). As a reminder, Micro Oled screens are integrated directly on the printed circuit boards rather than a glass substrate, resulting in thinner, smaller and less energy-consuming screens. They allow pixel sizes of 20 micrometers, compared to 40 to 300 micrometers on standard OLED screens. Finally, Micro Oled screens offer a faster response time, making them more effective for augmented reality and virtual reality applications.
