Compared with the single-layer OLED panel, the screen brightness of the double-layer OLED panel will be doubled and its service life will be quadrupled. The double-layer series OLED screen technology can reduce the energy consumption by about 30%, which means that the battery can become smaller, so the body thickness can be thinner.
