Samsung has been Apple’s largest OLED panel supplier since the company moved to OLED panels for its high-end iPhones in 2017.
Last year, it was speculated that Apple will release 120Hz displays with the iPhone 12 series, but this did not occur. According to reports, Samsung has already begun producing 120Hz OLED panels for the iPhone 13 series.
According to TheElec, Samsung Display has begun mass manufacturing OLED screens. They have a refresh rate of 120Hz and LTPO technology for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The displays are manufactured on the Asan factory’s A3 Line.
LG Display has begun producing LTPS OLED screens for the low-cost iPhone 13 variants (iPhone 13 Mini and iPhone 13). LG Display will create 30 million OLED units, while Samsung Display will make 80 million OLED panels.
the iPhone 12 and other earlier iPhones will continue to sell once the iPhone 13 series is released. Samsung will continue to supply OLED screens for those devices. This year, the South Korean company will produce 120 million OLED units for Apple. LG Display, on the other hand, plans to ship 50 million OLED screens for iPhones. BOE, a Chinese display manufacturer, will play a minor role in the project.he plans to produce 9 million OLED panels for Apple.
BOE, LG Display, and Samsung Display began producing OLED panels for forthcoming iPhones one month earlier than last year, indicating that the iPhone 13 may be released sooner than its predecessor.
Last year, all smartphone manufacturers went to 120Hz displays, but Apple appears to be 2-3 years behind. This is due to the fact that Apple’s iPhones have smaller batteries than Android phones. Samsung’s LTPO OLED panels, on the other hand, should be more energy-efficient. Thanks to variable refresh rates that may range from 10Hz to 120Hz.
