Apple to use foldable panels made by Samsung Display | Infinium-tech
According to a new report from Korea, Apple is expected to source foldable screens exclusively from Samsung Display. These foldable OLED panels will probably be used in the company’s upcoming iPhone Fold.
Korean publication The Elec, citing industry sources, reports that Samsung Display will supply its foldable OLED panels to Apple for the next three years.
The report said that during this period, Apple will not use foldable panels from other suppliers. Samsung Display is said to begin production of OLED foldable screens in the second quarter and initial shipments are expected to be around 3 million units.
The report says that the foldable OLED panels will use CoE (color-on-encapsulation) technology, which places a color filter layer on top of the encapsulation layer and eliminates the need for a polarizer. The panel is also said to feature Samsung’s M14 luminescent material, which is used in the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which could be branded as the iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra, will reportedly be unveiled in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
