Samsung Display reportedly kicks off OLED panel production for foldable iPhone | Infinium-tech
Apple’s first foldable iPhone, rumored to be launched as the iPhone Ultra, is expected to launch in September. Back in April, a report claimed that Apple had chosen Samsung Display as the exclusive supplier of foldable OLED panels for the device.
According to a new report from the same source, Samsung Display has now received approval to begin OLED panel production after achieving over 80% manufacturing yield.

Samsung Display’s manufacturing facility in Vietnam has already started operations, the report said. Apple has reportedly asked the company to produce an initial batch of 3 million OLED panels this year.
While an earlier report claimed that Apple would use Samsung Display’s M14 display stack for its first foldable iPhone, the latest report suggests that the company has opted for the new M16 luminescent material instead.
The M16 stack is reported to offer higher brightness, better color reproduction, better power efficiency and longer lifespan. The OLED panel is also said to include color filter on encapsulation (CoE) technology.
