Nintendo Switch Pro Referenced by OLED Display Company
Universal Display Corp, a renowned OLED panel company, made a significant reference to the much-discussed Nintendo Switch Pro during its recent first-quarter investor conference call, an event many interpret as an indirect confirmation of its development. CEO Steven V. Abrahamson emphasized that Nintendo specifically chose an OLED display for the new console, highlighting the inherent benefits of 'higher contrast' and 'faster response times,' crucial characteristics for enhancing the gaming experience. While Nintendo maintains official silence regarding the existence of the Switch Pro, this mention by a supply chain company is one of the first concrete examples pointing towards the imminent revelation of the new machine and its hardware, fueling expectations for a forthcoming announcement and a possible launch at the end of 2021.
