Apple is currently working on to shift to microLED display technology and plans to implement the same on future watch models starting in 2024.

About

What is microLED display technology?

• The basis of microLED technology are sapphires. A sapphire can shine on its own forever. A microLED screen is filled with such small but strong light.
• The picture in a microLED screen is generated by several individual light-emitting diodes.
• A microLED is as small as cutting a centimetre of hair into 200 smaller pieces. Each of these microLEDs are semiconductors that receive electric signals.
• Once these microLEDs are gathered, they form a module. Several modules are then combined to form screens.
  

Benefits

• MicroLED displays are brighter, have better colour reproduction and provide better viewing angles.
• MicroLEDs have limitless scalability, as they are resolution-free, bezel-free, ratio-free, and even size-free.
• The screen can be freely resized in any form for practical usage.
