- Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is working with LG to develop a foldable OLED display for future iPhones, according to The Korea Herald’s The Investor.
- The report says LG Display (NYSE:LPL) will work on the panel while LG Innotek will supply the necessary rigid flexible printed circuit board. Apple could invest in an LG plant dedicated to flexible displays.
- The LG-Apple panels likely won’t hit the market until 2021, which trails behind Samsung’s flexible OLED expected next year.
- Samsung (KS:005930) (OTC:SSNNF, OTC:SSNLF) provides the OLED screens for the iPhone X, but the reliance on one supplier drove up costs and slowed down the production schedule.
- Apple has reportedly invested in LG to ramp up its OLED production to step in as an iPhone supplier by 2019.
