Apple is reportedly partnering with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) to develop new ultra-thin micro-OLED displays for its upcoming Augmented Reality (AR) devices. Apple could launch its first AR product, expected to be pair of glasses, in the next two years.
Apple has partnered with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to develop ultra-advanced display technology in Taiwan, Nikkei Asia reported on Wednesday. The iPhone maker plans to ultimately use these micro-OLED displays in its upcoming augmented reality devices, the report said, citing sources. Apple is collaborating with TSMC, the sole supplier of iPhone processors, as micro-OLED displays are far thinner, smaller and use less power, making them more suitable for use in wearable AR devices, the report added.
