Apple's upcoming second-generation Vision Pro headset is set to incorporate advanced micro-OLED displays, aiming for enhanced brightness and efficiency, as per insights from market research firm Omdia.
Reportedly, Apple plans to elevate the Vision Pro by transitioning to an RGB OLEDoS display by 2027, a substantial upgrade from the previous model's WOLED with a color filter, as detailed by MacRumors citing information from The Elec.
RGB OLEDoS technology generates light and color directly from neighboring RGB sub-pixels on a single layer, eliminating the requirement for a color filter. This innovation promises notably heightened brightness compared to WOLED and color filter OLEDoS displays, while also offering significantly improved energy efficiency, as highlighted in the report.
The report underscores that Samsung, post its recent acquisition of eMagin, stands as the sole company currently capable of supplying RGB OLEDoS displays.
Meanwhile, Apple's much-anticipated $3,499 mixed reality (MR) headset, initially revealed in June, is poised to hit the market in late January or early February, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. He estimates shipments of approximately 500,000 units in 2024, mentioning that the Vision Pro is already in mass production and slated to commence mass shipments in the first week of January 2024.
Kuo predicts that the Vision Pro will likely be available for consumers in late January or early February, aligning with the ongoing mass shipment schedule.
