Samsung could have compared a Micro-LED company to supply Apple

We were talking a few weeks ago about some leaks that made us think that the Cupertino company was going to opt for the Micro-LED in order to put the company back in the place that is expected of it in terms of panels for its electronic devices. The reality is that the only device that does not use LED technology is the Apple Watch, and it is precisely one of the ones that generates the most customer satisfaction in these aspects. On the other hand, Samsung continues to be an important hardware supplier for Apple, which is why according to the latest information, the South Korean company could have acquired a company specialized in Micro-LED with the intention of satisfying the future needs of Apple thereon.

This news leaked by OLED info It comes just after confirming that the Cupertino company is working on introducing the Micro-LED as a standard in its devices between now and 2018, starting of course with the Apple Watch and ending with the iPhone. In this way, Samsung has decided to put the batteries with the intention of becoming a decisive piece in the production of devices with apple, for this has acquired PlayNitride, a company specialized in Micro-LED, a Taiwanese firm. The deal has been made for figures that could be around 150 million dollars, nothing far-fetched considering the income it could bring. This company is also specialized in screens for Virtual Reality and even televisions, so Samsung could fully exploit its patents.

However, this technology is still quite difficult to produce, and everything indicates that it will not be profitable at least until 2020, meanwhile Apple dreams of introducing these Micro-LEDs in the Apple Watch Series 3 that could arrive during the year 2018 , Has Apple set unrealistic limits? We will see.
