Also included is an estimated manufacturing cost of all the BLU’s components and a selling price analysis. This report provides insights regarding technology data, manufacturing cost, and selling price of the BLU, with a focus on the miniLEDs and their drivers.

These drivers are wafer-level chip-scale packaged. The miniLEDS are driven by nine drivers from STMicroelectronics.The miniLEDs are mounted in flip-chip configuration. The chip-on-board assembly of the more than 10,000 miniLEDS is believed to be done by TSMT in Taiwan.We estimate that they are manufactured by Epistar in Taiwan. The miniLEDs, which are GaN-based dies on patterned sapphire substrate, have an engineered light-emission pattern using dedicated top and back dielectric reflectors.The new backlighting system is composed of 10,384 miniLEDs divided into 2,596 local dimming zones. In this report, System Plus Consulting provides a full reverse costing study of the miniLEDs and their assembly in the backlight unit of the display in the 12.9-inch 2021 iPad Pro. As many different supply chain and technology choices are not settled yet, this System Plus Consulting teardown report provides great insights into the choices Apple is bringing to the table. With this newest iPad Pro, Apple is really bringing this newer display technology to the consumer. All of this while offering reduced power consumption, a very thin form factor (thickness), and cost/price competitiveness with OLED.
