Samsung and LG are rushing to corner the market for midsize OLED panels and are investing billions into building new production lines for next-generation displays that have been rumored to appear in future iPad and Mac models.
Rumors assert that Apple is working to include OLED displays on the iPad Pro models for 2024 and also considers such screens for the MacBook Pro in 2026.
Manufacturing bigger OLED displays has typically been more difficult than producing smaller screens like the ones utilized in the iPhone and Apple Watch. But Samsung and LG are investing in new OLED production lines that use next-generation technology to produce larger displays and squeeze out Chinese rivals, according to Nikkei Asia.
Samsung is investing $3.05 billion to install OLED production lines at its main campus in Tangjeong, South Korea. Meanwhile, LG Display is spending $2.
