Market research firm Omida believes that global shipments of tablets using OLED displays will hit 12.1 million units this year. 8.12 million of these units will be tablets using “Hybrid OLED “displays which is just another name for the two-stack OLED used on the iPad Pro. Using the two OLED layers allows the display to be brighter, more durable, and more expensive. Based on Omida’s forecast, and considering that the iPad Pro (2024) models are the first tablets to use hybrid displays, 61.7% of OLED tablets shipped this year should consist of the 11-inch or 13-inch iPad Pro (2024).

LG Display built the line that produces its hybrid OLED panels specifically to build two-stack OLED displays. The company has spent a total of KRW3.4 trillion (approximately $2.5 billion) on this production line. LG Display is producing the two-stack OLED panels for both the 11-inch and 13-inch versions of the iPad Pro (2024) while Samsung Display supplies the Hybrid OLED panels for the 11-inch model only.
