Gijong Lee for TheElec:

LG Display will be supplying low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) OLED panels for Apple’s iPhones launching next year, TheElec has learned.

Winning the order for LTPO TFT OLED from Cupertino, despite the volume being small, is critical for the South Korean panel maker as it will allow it to maintain an edge over Chinese rival BOE, which is aggressively looking to expand its share in Apple’s OLED panel supply chain.

LTPO TFT supports 120Hz refresh rate… Samsung Display, which dominates the supply of OLED panels to Apple, provided the LTPO TFT OLED panel used in the Pro models of the iPhone 13 series this year.

In 2022, LG Display will also be supplying some of the LTPO TFT OLED panels used by Apple for the 6.68-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Still, Samsung Display will be supplying more units of LTPO TFT OLED panels used in the Pro Max model, while it will be the sole supplier of LTPO TFT OLED panels used in the 6.06-inch iPhone 14 Pro… LG Display will also be supplying the LTPO TFT OLED panels with hole-in display technology, where there is a hole at the top side of the panel for the front camera.

MacDailyNews Take: As we wrote as recently as yesterday, the more suppliers and assemblers that exist to pit against each other in competition for Apple’s business, the better.

  1. “the more suppliers and assemblers that exist to pit against each other in competition for Apple’s business, the better.”

    Certainly this true. However, when the suppliers are your Number One completion foe (Samsung) and the others Communist cheap labor – just not right.

    Could not care less about Apple making more obscene profits at the expense of the American workers…

    1. Dont blame Apple for their prowess in making profits. ( profits that end in shareholders pockets.. lots of them Americans..etc )
      Blame American policies, regulations, infrastructure!!.. and workers for feeling entitled rather than being competitive.
      It is a free market out there… entitlement is for cry babies!

      1. I blame Apple for making OBSCENE PROFITS off the backs of slave labor in Communist countries turning a hypocritical blind eye to human rights abuses while Cook says nothing.

        Your other point is valid. Let’s see Clinton passed NAFTA, Obama tried passing another horrible trade bill TPP that Trump dismissed because of harm to American workers and Democrats are the party taking millions in campaign donations every election to support high labor costs.

        Yes, much to work on…
