California-based tech giant Apple is set to fully transition its iPhone lineup to organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays by 2025, marking a significant shift from its reliance on liquid crystal displays (LCDs), Japanese newspaper Nikkei reported.
According to a report by the Nikkei newspaper, citing unnamed sources, Apple’s complete migration to OLED displays will have major consequences for its current suppliers. In particular, Japanese companies Sharp Corp and Japan Display, which have been key suppliers of LCD screens for Apple devices, are expected to no longer be part of the company’s supply chain for its mobile phones. The report states that these companies will no longer play a role in the production of displays for Apple’s iPhones, as they are not involved in the mass production of OLED displays for smartphones.
In preparation for this change, Apple has reportedly begun taking orders for OLED panels for its next iPhone SE 4 The report added that these orders have been placed with China’s BOE Technology and South Korea’s LG Display, indicating a broader diversification of its display technology supplier base.
