Samsung Display has reached above 90% yield for OLED panels intended for next-generation Apple MacBook Pro models, with some processes reaching 95% yields. The panels are expected to be ready for mass production and shipment to Apple’s assemblers as early as June. Estimated supply volume is about 2 million units. OLED panel manufacturing for laptops is more challenging than for smartphones because the larger display area increases demands. Brightness, lifespan, and uniformity requirements are affected by the larger area, making production more difficult. Apple is expected to launch a MacBook Ultra with a rumored OLED touchscreen, while the next-gen MacBook Pro may receive an OLED panel without touch functionality.
