2017 Apple Watch to Get Power-Efficient micro-LED Panels

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 7 this year, but also the latest Apple Watch in the series. The company will be implementing the same OLED display on the upcoming version as on its predecessor. However, it seems that the 2017 Apple Watch will be getting more power-efficient micro-LED panels.

According to a report by DigiTimes, Apple could be replacing OLED displays in the Apple Watch with some more efficient micro-LED panels. They could come as early as the second half of 2017. The report also mentioned that Apple has set up a laboratory for micro-LED research and development in Taiwan in April last year.

The report also mentions that Apple acquired micro-LED display maker LuxVue in May 2014. Apple currently relies on third-party vendors when it comes to displays for its devices, although some of these vendors, like Samsung are direct competitors on the smartphone market.
