Apple is set to make a significant shift in its iPhone display technology.
According to a report from Japan's Nikkei newspaper, the tech giant plans to equip all iPhone models sold in 2025 and beyond with organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. This move marks a complete departure from liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which have been a staple in iPhones for years.
The transition to OLED is driven by the technology's superior ability to deliver more vibrant colors, deeper blacks, and sharper contrast, making it ideal for high-definition content. This shift is expected to exclude Japanese companies Sharp Corp and Japan Display from Apple's handset supply chain.
Apple has already begun placing orders for OLED displays for its upcoming iPhone SE model from Chinese manufacturer BOE Technology and South Korean giant LG Display. While Sharp and Japan Display once held a dominant position in the iPhone display market, their focus on LCD technology has limited their involvement in the OLED supply chain.
Apple first introduced OLED displays in its iPhone X in 2017 and has since expanded their use to premium iPhone models. More recently, the company brought OLED screens to its latest generation iPad Pro models.
In response to inquiries from Reuters, Sharp, Japan Display, and LG Display declined to comment on the report. Apple has yet to provide an official statement.
