Yole technology and market analysts pointed out that Apple has been committed to IP development to master all the key elements of the new microLED display technology. If successful, Apple will quickly establish a supply chain. At present, most of the development work is focused on transmission, assembly and interaction. Connected, has more than 40 patents.
The enablement of microLED displays requires the aggregation of three main technology types: LED, substrate (glass-based or Si-CMOS), and wafer transfer. The supply chain is complex and lengthy compared to traditional displays. Each process is very important, and every aspect is effectively managed. Challenging. There is currently no single company that can perform on these multiple technologies and can vertically integrate all components.
