Very cool demo... But should have shown a little more footage of the actual display and the backlit panel separately with content moving on the screen...
The fact that they named it "Mini-LED" is that there is a "Micro-LED" version coming out soon in the future with lot more leds for a much more better display.
@@BlackDragon31000 less blooming than traditional led so its still a plus. anyways if anything wait til microLED comes out, that will compete directly with amoled
@@frankli4124 This. The color subpixels may not experience burn in, but the underlying backlight surely will. Traditional backlight doesn't seem to suffer from this but only because all LEDs lose brightness uniformly.
mini-LED: ☀️ Higher contrast ratio 🔆 Higher brightness 🌑 Deeper blacks 🔋 Power-efficient 💣 Less prone to burn-in than OLED 🛡️ Uses inorganic Gallium nitride (GaN), won’t degrade over time like OLED
Not higher contrast ratio than OLED, not deeper blacks than OLED, not more power efficient than OLED. I thought Burn-in and degradation for a tablet would be a thing for sure, but my Tab S2 is about 4 years old and has neither even with constant heavy use. I'd like some of that crazy LED brightness though.
2.5k dimming zones still has blooming.. could have been 5.5million zones if it was an oled since its pixel level..... oled still has benifits such as instant response time and slightly better viewing angles then ips... also even with the local dimming and dual lcd layer (monochrome), its still an ips panel so the poor native contrast ratio will show up in certain instances...
Except MiniLED has better viewing angles than OLED. OLED loses a lot of brightness and even color when shifted. MiniLED pretty much stays the same on the iPad. And the biggest point is that the iPad Pro is often used for drawing and designing where accurate colors are necessary. The problem with OLED is tho that it needs to be recalibrated every other year or even after just a few months. On a phone that's not an issue. On a drawing machine? It is.
The control circuitry to control 10K LED's separately would be a lot more difficult / expensive to implement. They would have to have a much more complex backlight controller, way more traces going to the backlight array etc. Probably would have doubled the already higher cost of the screen.
I swear, I hate the edges being dark like that! If I am going to pay this much money for a screen, I don't want to have anything to hang up on...and here we are!
Seems to be an excellent screen, especially on bright viewing condition, though pinpoint backlight accuracy of OLED screens may provide a better dark room experience. Hopefully, MicroLED technology in the near future will fuse those benefits.
Someone mentioned that the viewing angle on this XDR display is worse than the liquid retina display? And when M1 is under heavy load, the heat causes streaks of uneven brightness to appear on display or backlight.
there is a clear "light spreader" that the leds shine into, tuned to eject more light on the far edges and less on the closer edges to balance the fadeout of the leds over distance. Its like a fiber optic rolled out into a sheet with micro holes in it
No, that's one of the reasons it has a bigger battery. Mainly with HDR content the screen puts out much more light. And that takes more power. You potentially get some power savings IF you have the brightness down very far, and have mainly black on the screen, but in reality this will be weighed out by the overall higher brightness with watching video's or doing other things that keeps the brightness up. Local diming doesnt turn the LED's off completely on a black screen, only dims them. If they turned them off entirely it would make blooming even worse. People seem to be confusing the benefits of mini LED with OLED or Micro LED.
Cool video. I assume MiniLED backlight doesn't require a light guide plate that is used in side-lit backlight. But what about the prism sheet, does it have one?
Man what about the ipad air2020? Is there a teardown for that? Also i wish apple would do this teardowns themselves. Seeing the bones of the machine is great way to showcase tech advancement.
I really freaking hope that universal audio or apogee make a thunderbolt interface dock for this that turns it into a high end all in one audio interface and surface control console with faders and knobs. It would look so sick on my desk.
I always think why videos like this don't get a million likes but videos from so called 'tech gurus' who simply read out the spec sheet manage to. A twisted world indeed !!
The edge shadows, probably not, it is caused by the space between the screen and the backlight layer, and the diffusion layers in between. The blooming, could most likely be fixed though.
I want know is the lcd screen or mini led backlight software locked to the device so that only apple is able to replace a broken screen or backlight? For whatever they feel like charging? What's the point of a repairability score otherwise?
The topic is really interesting, but why do you play that background music (so loud). Don't you think that your message is good enough so that you need to overdub it?
It's pretty interesting that Apple uses thermal paste for I think the first time in an iPad (or iPhone) ever. They never used any of this stuff in these devices.
What are the benefits over an oled screen, if I understand correctly in an oled screen each pixels color channel has a dedicated led so having even better dimming without ruining the complete display if just one led breaks because the error is so small.
Omg that part where the screen is transparent is so satisfying to me
Stark industry
looks a printer
All LCDs are “transparent”. That’s how the backlight shines through
@@danielnadeau5741 but you rarely see one without the backlight
This deserves an reassembly as a b/w iPad
This has to be one of the best visual explanations of the mini LED technology.
I agree! I need more videos on how they work. Do you have more you’ve seen?
Very cool demo... But should have shown a little more footage of the actual display and the backlit panel separately with content moving on the screen...
Exactly
Uuppp
Same. Now I’m just more curious 😅

I came to coment this HAHAHAHAHA bro he nonchalantly THREW a single rice there.
@@michelbruns we weren’t looking for logical solutions
this is the first time I see local dimming layer in action separated from the display
The dimming of Mini LEDs make cool Ripple effect !
Looking the XDR display under the microscope was super cool :) Awesome video :)
When the mini LEDs are shown, it's so satisfying!
awesome video :D i love how you showed off the local dimming in operation while disassembled!
8 seconds is a a new record for my UA-cam notifications.
Been waiting for this one!
The fact that they named it "Mini-LED" is that there is a "Micro-LED" version coming out soon in the future with lot more leds for a much more better display.
Maybe. Micro led is a very new technology.
Nope. OLED is a better option at that point. And rumor has it that iPad will be switching to OLED screens in '22.
Actually it doesn't really affect the quality how much more leds you put in there once you reached a certain amount. It can just get brighter.
Wouldn't micro LED just be OLED
@@Mamo878 I wouldn't count on that. Apple is going to ride out this mini LED for a few years
I'm loving these local LED displays. They could look almost as good as amoled while having fewer burn in issues
It's still a tradeoff, with this you have a chance of getting blooming
@@BlackDragon31000 and it's also less energy efficient than OLED.
@@BlackDragon31000 less blooming than traditional led so its still a plus. anyways if anything wait til microLED comes out, that will compete directly with amoled
Well, if one part of screen is constantly lit for a long time, I doubt if those LEDs are going to stay the exact same output as the rest of the panel.
@@frankli4124 This. The color subpixels may not experience burn in, but the underlying backlight surely will. Traditional backlight doesn't seem to suffer from this but only because all LEDs lose brightness uniformly.
Dude, you just said there are 2500+ squares with 4leds in each. You don't have to count, just do the math!
Hahaha I didn't even think about that while I was writing the script. 😂 You're absolutely right. -TD
@@iFixitYourself now give us update.
@@CAIORAZ You don't need a degree to multiply 2500x4.
@@CAIORAZ Silly comment. Graduating college today is just a function of wealth, the average intelligence is really low.
@@wilkgr yes but it gives a sense of how they’re arranged
The display anatomy needed little more explanation
5 minutes of teardown and 5 seconds of the screen working disassembled
Remember the ladies that did longer and better teardown? WHAT HAPPENED?
Fantastic video! Love the demonstration of how mini LED works! Probably your best teardown yet!
WOW, could you show us just a transparent part?!
3:12 there are 2,596 local dimming zones, and you said there are 4 LEDs in each dimming zones
2,596 * 4 = 10,384
Yes. It's just a little over 10,000
Finally a 10/10 Apple product by iFixit!
That transparent screen looks very futuristic lol
2:44 That is so satisfying to watch
Soo how is the repairability of the new ipad
I was also confuse but
Thank God to vilian_tech got mine full recommended on IG

The new xdr display is jaw dropping when watching hdr content. It was able to beat even my oled tv.

Only works if they have not hardcoded the screen to the logic board
Why LEDs costs so much? I don't understand.

The explanation is top notch , wanna see more videos from this guy
Wow! Nice demonstration of mini-LED.
Supergave video om te zien wat er allemaal in de binnenkant zit van deze iPad! Overigens ga ik deze iPad snel kopen!
Currently waiting on my preorder to arrive. Good to know what's underneath the hood.
Cool video, explained mini LED very well. keep it up!
Never saw an iPad screen like that before
Fix the audio to video synchronisation. The image is behind by 0.3-0.7 sec.
PLEASE DO A SAMSUNG A52 TEARDOWN REPAIR THINGY VIDEO STUFF AS WELL
Could an M1 be put in to the the last gen iPad pro?? That'd be cool
I was also confuse but

no...sadly
10/10 after long time
Apple be like lets launch m1 iphone
Superb video
Wow you guys have a heat pad now did you guy just add that heated pad. I’ll get that in my cart if you guys have the in stock
Do you think the 11" will get this new display later this year is App,e can resolve their supply chain issues?
When can we see a full teardown of the M1 IPad Pro 12.9?
How can the backlight be so homogeneous on the 2020 iPad Pro, while it's on a side?
I feel like DIYPerks did an explanation in a video on this. IIRC it's the one where he turns laptop screens into a fake window.
there is a clear "light spreader" that the leds shine into, tuned to eject more light on the far edges and less on the closer edges to balance the fadeout of the leds over distance.
Its like a fiber optic rolled out into a sheet with micro holes in it
Just one question though, do you think the mini-led is more power efficient than the conventional leds from previous ipad pros?

Are you ever going to be doing an iPad 9th Gen teardown?
Cool video. I assume MiniLED backlight doesn't require a light guide plate that is used in side-lit backlight. But what about the prism sheet, does it have one?
Great video. Can you tell me the size (# of pins) for the display cables? Hard to find schematic info on these still
Man what about the ipad air2020? Is there a teardown for that? Also i wish apple would do this teardowns themselves. Seeing the bones of the machine is great way to showcase tech advancement.
Super work!
that 'grain of rice' is a smart touch
Is that the same thech on the Pro Display XDR
It's time to make screen invisible to become James Bond.
Is it prone to bending like the previous models?
Do you know if a 2020 or 2018 iPad LCD screen will also work? It looks like the same thing
I really freaking hope that universal audio or apogee make a thunderbolt interface dock for this that turns it into a high end all in one audio interface and surface control console with faders and knobs. It would look so sick on my desk.
I waited for this video… it was worth it
Well done, but I wish I could have seen more content displayed with only the backlights in motion.
Repairability score?
is this mini led screen durable?
So you tearing this down,where you think its the best location to put a Cooler Fan? Also best location for Iphone 14/15 pro max

Doe the heat pad damage in any way other components?
but can you add half cm marks onto the standard ifixit caliper? it's always so hard to count them millimeters..
You don't need to count all the LEDs. Count the vertical and horizontal, then multiply them.
Good video 👍
The LED tech seems to be similar to the ones used in TVs
Only way more dense. This array in a 75" TV would be insane
@@RichardServello and insanely expensive
This video is lit! Thumbs up!
Still a marvel in my view. The XDR display is new and very cool.
I love my m1 iPad Pro 12.9. The battery life is very bad though and I’ve only had it for a year
What are those lines on the edges? 0:26
The cellular antennas
I wanted Kay Kay to do the teardown.... or be the teardown 😎
Where/When is Part 2?
So, if I understand correctly, the shadows along the edges could be fix with a software upgrade?
The edge shadows, probably not, it is caused by the space between the screen and the backlight layer, and the diffusion layers in between. The blooming, could most likely be fixed though.
Why did ya’ll not show it’s processing innards and different speakers??? It quite different…
Why apple pencil makes diagonal wavy lines after a screen replacement? Drawing with finger works fine. No glass used
will an 2020 ipad pro work with the xdr display
My ipad pro 2017 has had stage light effect now for 2 years never knew what to call it or if it was fixable
I want know is the lcd screen or mini led backlight software locked to the device so that only apple is able to replace a broken screen or backlight? For whatever they feel like charging? What's the point of a repairability score otherwise?
Why are the LEDs blue?
The topic is really interesting, but why do you play that background music (so loud). Don't you think that your message is good enough so that you need to overdub it?
