“Despite recent reports, it’s unlikely that Apple will use OLED panels in its products anytime soon, says Canaccord Genuity analyst Jonathan Dorsheimer,” MacNN reports.
“Last Thursday a patent application emerged suggesting Apple interest in a more power-efficient OLED display,” MacNN reports. “The news helped send stock of an OLED maker, Universal Display, up 17 percent during Friday trading.”
MacNN reports, “Dorsheimer notes that the patent filing ‘seems to have gone viral among investors,’ but calls it an ‘irrelevant’ piece of information.”

His opinion, and $4, will get you latte at Starbuck’s.
I really don’t get the obsession with what technology goes into a product as long as it works and works well.
Everyone bitches about the iPhone/iPad being underpowered but the software makes it BLAZE past various Android phones in terms of benchmarks.
Frankly I couldn’t care less if it is IPS, OLED, or unicorn tears.
I’m thinking… unicorn tears…
OLED has a ways to go (if ever) to meet the color accuracy and screen longevity requirements of Apple.
And power consumption, too. In white OLED consumes more than twice (!) more than IPS panel. It only consumes less power when it shows nearly all dark-black background with very little white text on it.
Also, OLED has twice lower honest resolution (“honest” is not a pentile matrix like in the latest Nexus 4.65″ screen, but SAMOLED+ like in Samsung Galaxy S 2) comparing to Retina display.
… this time with the focus on communication? You said: “OLED has twice lower honest resolution (“honest” is not a pentile matrix like in the latest Nexus 4.65″ screen, but SAMOLED+ like in Samsung Galaxy S 2) comparing to Retina display” … do you have a PhD in some science or engineering field?
Are you saying (a guess, here) that OLED has HALF the usable resolution when compared to a Retina display?
PenTile matrix uses giant greed LED simultaneously as part of few pixels. Hence it is fake resolution.
Honest resolution, like in IPS Retina Display or SAMOLED+ in SGS2, have appropriate matrix. And the latter has twice lower details/two-dimensional resolution than the former.
