All the details on the tandem structure of the OLED panels of the iPad Pro M4 2024
This year, Apple plans renew the entire range of iPad products in your catalog. They started the big update of 2024 with two formats of iPad Air with M2 chips and with the crown jewel, two versions of iPad Pro with a powerful M4 chip and a OLED screen absolutely spectacular.
According to Apple, The Ultra Retina XDR screen of its latest generation of iPad Pro features the most advanced and brightest OLED technology on the market. To achieve this, the Californian company used two OLED panels in tandem on each of its 2024 iPad Pros.
A few days ago, we explained in depth the new features of the iPad Pro M4 camera module. This time it was the turn of Tandem OLED technology. Let’s see exactly how this revolutionary technology works.
iPad Pro with Tandem OLED: how this technology works
Combining two OLED layers improves color brightness
OLED screen offer Better contrast, greater color accuracy, deeper blacks and greater energy efficiency because each pixel lights up independently. However, OLED screens are a little less bright than other technologies.
This is where the tandem OLED panels that Apple has integrated into the Ultra Retina XDR display of its iPad Pro 2024 come into play. Every iPad Pro has on its screen. two superimposed OLED panels to combine the light emitted by the two panels.
By combining light, OLED tandem panels achieve 1,000 nits brightness and even 1,600 nits maximum brightness in HDR.
There is no OLED display on the market that can match the brightness emitted by the tandem OLED panels of the 2024 iPad Pro M4.
Tandem OLED technology provides more brightness without compromising screen longevity
However, the problem with OLED screens on the market is that They are organic. And as a result, they wear out much faster than other technologies. This is why many OLED TVs lose brightness over the years and some screens exhibit this uncomfortable effect. burn with a sort of burn caused by the images on the screen.
Apple has also solved this problem with Tandem OLED technology. Use two light emitters with a smaller amount of energy This helps the pixels in the OLED panel not wear out as quickly. Being two panels, they also offer more brightness. A genius, kills two birds with one stone.

But it was not Apple who invented this sandwich-shaped structure for the OLED screens of its devices. Actually, This OLED tandem technology existed 15 years ago, even 2 years before the marketing of the first television with LG OLED screen. Curious, right?
We recently learned that some iPad Pros were affected by a strange issue on their OLED displays that prevented certain dark blue tones from displaying correctly. Fortunately, Apple has assured that this is a software issue and is already working on the solution.
