What Makes Tandem OLED Special
The iPad Pro M4 uses tandem OLED — two OLED layers stacked together. This provides:
- Higher brightness than single-layer OLED while maintaining efficiency
- Perfect blacks and infinite contrast ratio (each pixel emits its own light)
- Reduced burn-in risk compared to single-layer OLED at equivalent brightness
This is a significant upgrade from the previous iPad Pro 12.9-inch’s mini-LED backlit LCD (Liquid Retina XDR) and the 11-inch’s standard LCD (Liquid Retina).
