Micro-LEDs maintain momentum despite Apple’s withdrawal
What happened
Apple's cancellation of its micro-LED project in early 2024 has shaken industry confidence, with Yole Group noting the technology's value proposition is shrinking versus advancing OLEDs. While some companies are slowing or stopping development, others are accelerating efforts in a less competitive landscape, with about 30 fabs or pilot lines still proceeding. Bearish: The exit of a major demand driver like Apple signals reduced future demand for micro-LED components, potentially impacting investment and pricing for related materials and equipment.
