LG Display would be very close to obtaining a contract for the production of panels for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, thus entering into competition with Samsung which has so far been the only manufacturer authorized by Apple: according to the sources of the South Korean technology magazine The Elec, which cites internal anonymous sources, only the final approval from Apple itself is missing. All the main competitors of Samsung have had problems with the yield of the plants in the production of displays, which are very advanced OLED LTPOs; precisely the latter technology, which is fundamental to implement the frequency of variable refresh in real time, it would be the main cause of the difficulties.

It is the first time that LG has attempted to bring its implementation of LTPO technology to market, and in these early stages it seems to prefer to focus only on the larger panel; in other words, Samsung will continue to remain the sole supplier of “regular” iPhone 14 Pro displays even as Apple gives the green light to LG – however, a decision should be made within two weeks, again according to the source. Apparently, the previous prototypes had shown defects in the hole dedicated to the camera (the main aesthetic novelty of the new top-of-the-range Melafonini), as well as in the encapsulation procedure of the TFT membrane.

Apparently LG has made some changes to its machinery – specifically some masks used in the production process. If even this iteration is not successful, he will have to wait at least another month to submit a new prototype, thus leaving the field free to his compatriot rival. If it is successful, it could immediately start production at its E6 factory located in the South Korean city of Paju. The goal is to exceed 10 million displaysbut it is not known how soon.
