iphone 13 lcd screen manufacturer

Samsung has been the main supplier for Apple"s iPhone displays for quite some time and thanks to the technological advancements of the Korean tech giant in the field, it was able to secure an order for about 80 million units once more. Or in other words, the expected 120Hz LTPO OLED panels for the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max will likely all be delivered by Samsung.

It looks like the fast and energy-efficient LPTO OLEDs will make it to the high-end iPhone 13 models only. LG and BOE will fill up the rest of the orders for iPhone 13 and 13 mini OLED displays. LG Display is estimated to ship around 30 million units.

But since the iPhone 12 family won"t be discontinued anytime soon, the need for standard OLED panels won"t go away. By the end of this year, Samsung will ship 120 million OLED screens, LG Display will secure 50 million panels while BOE will delivery the final 9 million.

The industry sources also point out that this year, the production of OLED panels has started about a month earlier confirming earlier reports that the iPhone 13 will return to the usual September launch.

This will be an important week for the Chinese display maker BOE, as it expects Apple to evaluate its OLED panels aimed for the upcoming iPhone 14 series. If everything goes right, mass production could start soon.

Now, the Chinese display panel maker is hoping to receive approval from Apple to start mass production of the panels aimed at the standard model out of the four versions of the iPhone 14 series. If everything goes right, BOE will start mass production sometime between July and August.

The Elec says BOE is a couple of weeks behind its South Korean competitors, as Samsung Display and LG Display are expected to start mass production of the iPhone 14 OLED panels at the end of this year.

After the controversy with the iPhone 13 OLED panels, “executives of the Chinese company visited Cupertino to explain the situation to Apple and receive approval for OLED panels aimed at iPhone 14.” The publication sources say BOE will supply around 5 million units at most given its recent debacle with the panels for the iPhone 13.

For the upcoming iPhone 14, Apple is expected to introduce four new models. The company is said to replace the mini version with a Plus/Max alternative. While the regular models will remain with the current design, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will feature a new cutout, with a hole-punch + pill design.

In addition, only the Pro models will have the A16 chip, while the regular version will use the A15 chip. Recently, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said this iPhone will have the most important upgrade in the front-facing camera in years.

As reported by The Elec:BOE had manufactured only a meager amount of OLED panels for iPhones since February, TheElec has learned.The Chinese display panel maker had begun supplying OLED panels for the 6.1-inch model of the iPhone 13 series since last year.But since February, the company"s panel volume for the phone plummeted over the past four months, sources said.

The report says changes made to the design of the OLED panel used in the iPhone 13 were discovered by Apple. Apple"s advanced OLED display is one of the best iPhone features thanks to its extremely high level of detail and the 120Hz ProMotion display on the iPhone 13 Pro.

Apple"s iPhone 13 has proven popular with customers, with the company expected to unveil a new flagship in its usual September launch window later this year.

Chinese display manufacturer Beijing Oriental Electronics (BOE) could lose out on 30 million display orders for the upcoming iPhone 14 after it reportedly altered the design of the iPhone 13’s display to increase yield rate, or the production of non-defective products, according to a report from The Elec (via 9to5Mac).

Apple tasked BOE with making iPhone 13 displays last October, a short-lived deal that ended earlier this month when Apple reportedly caught BOE changing the circuit width of the iPhone 13’s display’s thin-film transistors without Apple’s knowledge. (Did they really think Apple wouldn’t notice?).

This decision could continue to haunt BOE, however, as Apple may take the company off the job of making the OLED display for the iPhone 14 as well. According to The Elec, BOE sent an executive to Apple’s Cupertino headquarters to explain the incident and says it didn’t receive an order to make iPhone 14 displays. Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 14 at an event this fall, but The Elec says production for its display could start as soon as next month.

In place of BOE, The Elec expects Apple to split the 30 million display order between LG Display and Samsung Display, its two primary display providers. Samsung will likely produce the 6.1 and 6.7-inch displays for the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro, while LG is set to make the 6.7-inch display for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

According to MacRumors, BOE previously only manufactured screens for refurbished iPhones. Apple later hired the company to supply OLED displays for the new iPhone 12 in 2020, but its first batch of panels failed to pass Apple’s rigorous quality control tests. Since the beginning of this year, BOE’s output has also been affected by a display driver chip shortage.

Apple confirmed BOE"s panels for the forthcoming iPhones on Thursday, and BOE intends to start mass producing them before the end of this month. The panels will be delivered in large quantities to Apple in September, the month when the Cupertino corporation typically introduces new iPhone models, as per GSM Arena.

After Apple learned that BOE had unilaterally changed some of the design elements of its iPhone 13 panels, BOE"s place in the supply chain for the iPhone 14 was questioned for a few weeks.

As per insiders in the industry, Apple is expected to order 90 million display panels this year for the iPhone 14 family, of which 60 million will come from Samsung Display, 25 million from LG Display, and 5 million from BOE, as reported by GSM Arena.

Every iPhone LCD screen would go through 43 processes tests and elevate out 2nd first-class inspection to assure all the functions well according to our standards before logistics.

Economic Daily News, Apple will start using OLED screens from the Chinese supplier BOE in the late-2021 iPhone models, in addition to screens supplied by Samsung and LG.

BOE is the world’s largest manufacturer of LCD panels for TVs, but for some time now has also manufactured OLED screens for Huawei and other mobile phone manufacturers.

Ever since Apple made the switch to OLED panels with the iPhone X series in 2017, it has relied on Samsung to source a majority of these panels. Samsung was an obvious choice for Apple for the sole reason that it was (and continues to be) the world’s largest manufacturer of OLED panels, with LG coming in a distant second.

This changed in 2020 when Apple signed up a little-known Chinese company called BOE to make displays for its lower-tier iPhone 12. While Samsung and LG continue to supply Apple with OLED panels, 2023 may finally see BOE increase the number of displays it makes for Apple. It is also likely to meet the stringent quality standards set by Apple so its screens can end up on the future top-tier iPhone 15 Pro model.

Even though BOE has been an Apple supplier for a long time, having supplied LCD panels in the past, its entry into the exclusive club of OLED manufacturers was a significant milestone in the company’s history. To reduce its dependence on a single supplier for something as crucial as the display, Apple inked a deal with LG Display to supply it with OLED panels. LG’s production capacity, however, hasn’t been able to scale up or even come close to Samsung’s levels — and Apple’s expectations. Unsurprisingly, until 2020, 80% of Apple products with an OLED panel used Samsung panels, with the other 20% using LG-made displays.

Things did not start too well for BOE, though, after Apple was reportedly unhappy with the quality of the initial batch of BOE-made panels intended for some iPhone 12 models. Nevertheless, following initial hiccups, BOE eventually managed to supply a sizable number of 6.06-inch OLED panels to Apple — most of which found their way onto Apple’s lower-priced iPhone 12 series and the current iPhone 13 series.

Apple’s decision not to use BOE-made panels for the top-tier iPhone 13 models also had a lot to do with the fact that the iPhone 13 series also marked Apple’s transition to using LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) display technology on the more expensive iPhone 13 models.

With BOE still perfecting its LTPO capabilities, it is unlikely that we’ll see BOE-made panels on the top-tier iPhone 14 models in 2022. In fact, reports already indicate that panels for the top-tier iPhone 14 models will primarily come from Samsung — with a tiny percentage supplied by LG.

According to the South Korean publication The Elec, BOE’s moment of glory is likely to come in 2023. The company is reportedly working steadfastly to ensure that its OLED panels will match the quality standards set by Apple. It aims to chip away a sizable share from LG and Samsung that year and supply LTPO OLED panels for future iPhone 15 Pro models.

Things are looking great for BOE even in 2022, with Apple expected to use close to 50 million BOE-made panels for the iPhone 14 series. This will account for a healthy 20% of Apple’s OLED requirement. At current growth rates, BOE is likely to beat LG Display and become Apple’s second-biggest OLED panel supplier in 2022. And given its breakneck growth, even Samsung’s coveted status as the largest iPhone display supplier may well be within reach in a few years.
