Tandem OLED is OLED's latest weapon in holding off MicroLED, QDEL
Tandem OLED technology, featuring dual RGB layers for enhanced brightness and lower power use, is gaining popularity but faces manufacturing challenges for larger displays like TVs, limiting its high-end application.

Tandem OLED technology is gaining traction in the display market, particularly after Apple's introduction of it in the iPad Pro. This technology features two layers of red, green, and blue (RGB) organic light-emitting layers, allowing for higher brightness levels while reducing power consumption and the risk of burn-in. While Tandem OLED is being adopted in smaller devices like smartphones and laptops, its application in larger displays, such as TVs, faces challenges due to different manufacturing processes. Current OLED technologies, including LG's WOLED and Samsung's QD-OLED, utilize various tandem structures but do not employ the same RGB stacking as Tandem OLED. Experts suggest that while Tandem OLED offers advantages, the existing brightness levels in modern OLED TVs may limit its incentive for high-end applications. The manufacturing incompatibility between small and large OLED displays further complicates the potential for Tandem OLED in the television market.
- Tandem OLED features dual RGB layers for improved brightness and reduced power consumption.
- Apple popularized Tandem OLED with its iPad Pro, leading to broader adoption in consumer electronics.
- The technology faces manufacturing challenges that limit its use in larger displays like TVs.
- Existing OLED technologies already provide significant brightness, reducing the need for Tandem OLED in high-end TVs.
- Different manufacturing processes for small and large OLED displays hinder the compatibility of Tandem OLED structures.

7 commentsThis is much more important improvement than Tandem OLED. Although I dont think I could see that on an iPhone before 2030 judging from how slow Apple adopt technology.
