Apple Aims for BT2020 Color Gamut in Next-Generation OLED Products
According to TrendForce, Apple plans to adopt BT2020 color gamut in future MacBook, iPad, and Mac products, surpassing the current DCI P3 color standard.
TrendForce's latest AMOLED technology and market report states that Apple plans to gradually introduce OLED panels capable of achieving 95% BT2020 color coverage across its MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iMac product lines. The market research firm revealed this information.
Some industry studies suggest that 95% BT2020 coverage effectively encompasses all naturally occurring colors reflected from objects in the real world, making it virtually indistinguishable from 100% BT2020. BT2020 underpins the color space for modern HDR video standards, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+ Advanced.
More Pure and Realistic Colors
In essence, this means colors as pure and accurate as those found in the real world. This represents a significant leap forward compared to the current DCI P3 color standard used in most HDR-supported TVs, monitors, studio reference monitors, mobile OLED panels, cinema projectors, and LED cinema displays.
For reference, the DCI P3 color space covers approximately 73% of BT2020, while older sRGB Rec709 covers only about 53%. Most displays still adhere to sRGB today.
MacBook Ultra or Later Versions
Apple first introduced OLED to the iPad Pro in 2024. While MacBooks still use LCD panels, OLED is expected to be incorporated starting with the MacBook Ultra by late 2026 or early 2027. It remains unclear whether TrendForce's report refers to this specific model or subsequent upgrades.
TrendForce highlighted Samsung Display and Chinese display panel manufacturers as potential suppliers, mentioning that Samsung Display is continuing research on EL QD NanoLED as a potential next step beyond OLED.
The Apple TV 4K already supports BT2020 color for HDR video signals, so the TV panel becomes the limiting factor. However, it's important to note that most HDR movies, series, and games are still mastered in DCI P3.
