Samsung will produce LTPO OLED display for Apple iPhone 13 Pro

According to the latest description of the research company UBI Research shared by the Korean media The Elec, Samsung plans to start producing low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) OLED displays for Apple in the first half of 2021.

According to reports, in the first half of 2021, Samsung Display will convert its OLED production line dedicated to Apple, its largest customer, to a production line for low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistors (TFT). Samsung Display’s A3 factory production line has been producing low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) TFT OLED panels.

The LTPO display consumes less power than standard OLED displays and will enable Apple to achieve the rumored 120Hz screen refresh rate of the iPhone 13 product line.

Samsung Display calls it LTPO TFT technology adaptive frequency, which first applied this technology on Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy Note20 Ultra. Recently, this technology was applied to the OLED panel of the ASUS ROG5 smartphone.

The Elec said that Apple will use LTPO TFT OLED panels in the high-end iPhone models launched in 2021, and these panels will be provided by Samsung. LG Display will provide standard LTPS TFT OLED panels for low-end models.

UBI Research also stated that BOE has also begun to invest in equipment since December, building a dedicated Apple line at the B12 plant in Chongqing. The production line is targeted to start production in November. BOE obtained a license from Apple to supply OLED panels in December last year. This is consistent with the rumor that Apple’s higher-end iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max will use a faster 120Hz refresh rate to achieve similar iPad ProMotion technology.
