At a seminar held in Seoul, South Korea on Wednesday, Choong Hoon Yi, CEO of analyst firm UBI Research, said LG Display will supply 8th-generation OLED panels in 2026, still winning Apple’s panel orders.
Yi said Samsung Display is currently the only display panel maker that has invested in 8th-generation OLED production; LG Display and BOE have yet to follow suit.
Yi said that the main reason for LG Display is that the existing LCD production line has encountered obstacles in switching to OLED production lines, which has delayed the launch of the 8th generation OLED.
It was previously reported that Samsung Display said in April this year that it is expected to start mass production of the 8th-generation OLED panels in 2-3 years, and it is estimated that it will not be until 2025 at the latest.
