Apple Headset to Feature Micro OLED Displays [Report]

A new report from ETNews corroborates rumors that Apple's upcoming AR/VR headset will feature micro OLED displays.

Apple VR devices are equipped with micro organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays. Apple cooperated with Taiwan’s TSMC with developing OLED displays for VR devices. Micro OLED displays do not require color filters since OLEDs are deposited directly on the chip wafer. Micro OLED is smaller, thinner, and more efficient. The VR headset application processor (AP) will be applied with M1 Chip, which is Apple’s self-developed system-on-chip, and the operating system (OS) will be running iOS.

This aligns with a previous report from Display Supply Chain Consultants that predicted an innovative display configuration for the headset using two Micro OLED displays and one AMOLED panel.

While ETNews says that the headset will be running iOS, Apple accidentally leaked references to a new 'realityOS' last month. This is likely what the headset will be running.


There have been reports suggesting that Apple could unveil its AR/VR headset as early as WWDC 2022 with shipping set for 2023. However, overheating issues could delay the unveiling. Other predictions for the headset include over a dozen cameras, eye tracking, iris recognition, and a cost of around $3000.
