Foldable iPhones, Macs in your future? Could be, report says

By Tim Hardwick, MacRumors

Apple has started developing thinner OLED panels that could be used for foldable displays in the future, a new report out of Korea suggests.

According to The Elec, Apple is developing OLED panels without polarizers, which are typically included to allow only lights in certain directions to pass through, thereby improving the visibility of the display.

One drawback of polarizer films is that they tend to reduce brightness and, in turn, the luminance efficiency of the panel. To offset this, manufacturers usually increase the power consumption delivered to the panel, but this can reduce their lifespan.
