OLED iMac Panel Could Include Extra Layer to Fight Screen Burn-In
OLED iMac Panel Could Include Extra Layer to Fight Screen Burn-InMonday August 10, 2026 4:34 am PDT by Tim HardwickLG Display is developing a five-layer OLED panel structure that could end up in a future iMac, with an extra layer added to prevent screen burn-in and increase brightness, reports The Elec. LG Display already builds four-stack OLED panels for high-resolution monitors, and arranges the light-emitting layers in a blue-green-blue-red pattern. The five-stack version reportedly under development adds a third blue layer, creating a blue-green-blue-red-blue arrangement.

The five-stack version reportedly under development adds a third blue layer, creating a blue-green-blue-red-blue arrangement. Stacking on another emitting layer spreads the electrical load, which is important at high pixel densities, where each pixel gets smaller, as does the portion of it that actually emits light.
