What is an OLED display?
The new iPad Pro was announced at the May 7 “Let Loose” event, featuring the highly anticipated OLED display that Apple calls “Tandem OLED” for an “Ultra Retina XDR” screen. Tandem OLED consists of two OLED displays combined to create a high-contrast screen with deep blacks and peak brightness of 1,600 nits.
New OLED iPad Pro: 5 benefits
One of the key benefits of an OLED display is the absence of the “halo effect” or blooming, which can occur with other types of displays. OLED technology allows for true blacks and better contrast, as each pixel can be turned off independently, resulting in a more vibrant and immersive viewing experience.
1. No ‘halo effect’
Some users of the previous iPad Pro model experienced blooming or the halo effect, which is caused by light leakage from the backlight. With OLED displays, this issue is eliminated as black pixels can be completely turned off.
Other advantages of OLED displays include better viewing angles and improved color contrast, making them ideal for streaming and consuming media.
5. Superior motion performance
Additionally, OLED displays “require a few milliseconds to respond to a charge, causing blur or ghosting in rapidly changing images.” This can impact the overall motion performance of the device.
Expectations with the new iPad Pro
With the introduction of the new iPad Pro featuring OLED technology, there is anticipation for improved motion performance. OLED displays are known for providing smoother transitions between frames and better motion-blur management compared to LCD screens. This could result in faster response times and a more seamless viewing experience.
It is important to note that OLED displays come with the risk of burn-in, where a faint image can be permanently “burned” into the panel. Apple may have implemented strategies to minimize this issue, but it is something to be aware of when considering the new iPad Pro.
