The buzz around Apple's foldable handset has been brewing for quite some time. Now, new revelations articulate the advanced display features of this anticipated device. Apple's inaugural foldable handset is rumored to incorporate CoE (Color Filter on Encapsulation) OLED panels, crafted by the Korean technology giant, Samsung, as per insights shared by The Elec.
Under the CoE-based OLED panels, the device will offer superior brightness compared to older panels. Traditional OLED displays employ a polarizing film to diminish reflections, but this new technology promises to enhance display clarity and efficiency.
The Shortcomings of Current OLED Panels
The existing OLED technology can inadvertently absorb some of the panel's light. This absorption compromises both brightness and efficiency, presenting a notable limitation.
Highlights of CoE-Based Technology
Media outlets are abuzz with reports that Apple's first-ever foldable handset will employ CoE-based OLED technology. Although slated for a potential unveiling in late 2026, the company has yet to confirm this timeline. Pricing details remain undisclosed at this moment.
Innovations In Apple Air 2
Further projections suggest that CoE technology may also extend to the Apple Air 2. However, official confirmation is pending. Known for being Apple's slimmest offering, the current Apple Air measures just 5.6mm in thickness and features a single rear camera setup.
