Apple launched its latest laptops, the M4 MacBook Pro models, and according to DSSC the new displays adopt a red quantum dot film for the first time.

Up until now, Apple used red KSF phosphor films, but the QDs offer more accurate and vivid colors as the emission spectrum is narrower. In the past Apple opted for KSF because this technology does not use any Cadmium and it is lower in cost. Apple's new QD films are Cadmium-free.

According to a report from Korea, Samsung Display has decided to increase its QD-OLED production capacity, and start making panels for monitors, with sizes of around 27-inch (currently the smallest QD-OLED panel in production is 34-inch). Samsung aims to supply these panels to Apple.

It is said that SDC debated whether to adopt RGB (direct-emission) OLED displays for its future monitor panels, but the lower cost of producing QD-OLED panels led Samsung to this decision. It will continue to produce RGB OLEDs for its tablet and laptop displays.
