Samsung Display to supply OLED panels for iPhone 14

Samsung Display is busy doing innovations with new and advanced OLED displays and is expected to supply organic OLED panels for the iPhone 14 smartphone, which is scheduled to be released in the second half of the year 2022.

‘Businesskorea‘ has revealed that Samsung Display is going to exclusively supply most of the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels for the iPhone 14 Pro, according to many reputed blogs such as DSCC, a display specialized market agency. Samsung Display accounts for more than 70 percent of the global small and medium-sized OLED panel market.

How is Samsung’s technology different than others?

Samsung Display uses low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) technology for its panel production. This technology was first developed by Apple in 2014, but Samsung Display was the first company to mass-produce OLED panels using this technology.

let us tell you that LTPO panels are more expensive and more complicated than low-temperature polycrystalline Silicon (LTPS) OLED panels. But they are softer screens and consume less power. Apple is expected to use these LTPO OLED panels for Apple 14 Pro and Pro Max.

What is LTPO technology? How does it work?

LTPO is a back panel tech that combines both LTPS TFTs and Oxide TFTs (IGZO, Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) to enable variable refresh rate from the display which dynamically depends on various conditions, and provides 15% or less power consumption. This is the reason why present-day AMOLED panels are using this technology under the display panel.

Although the LTPO panels produced by the Chinese companies are cost-effective but are set to be below Samsung’s standard. On the other hand, LG Display in the league is a latecomer, in small and medium-sized OLED panels.

In near future, you will see most of the world’s top smartphone manufacturing companies will feature such energy-efficient technology.
