苹果或将在2024年推出OLED屏MacBook Air
外媒9to5Mac援引分析师RossYoung的消息称,苹果可能在2024年的某个时候发布配备OLED显示屏的MacBook。此外,苹果推出OLED屏iPad机型的计划也在推进中。

外媒认为,苹果目前使用的MiniLED技术是OLED的替代品,它在某些方面更好,但在其他方面更糟。MiniLED屏幕由多个调光区的数千个小型LED组成,可以达到比OLED显示屏更高的亮度,但局部调光仍然不如OLED准确。
展望未来,苹果也在大力投资Micro LED技术,该技术将结合MiniLED和OLED的优点,亮度有所提高且不会出现老化现象。
据了解,目前联想、华硕等厂商已经大批量在轻薄本上搭载OLED屏,规格可达2.8K 90Hz或120Hz,色域、对比度、响应速度等参数都比普通的LCD屏更好。(来源:IT之家)
