Samsung is reportedly the largest supplier of OLED displays for the Apple iPhone 14 series of smartphones, beating LG and BOE. According to a report by The Korea Economic Daily, which cites “a source close to Apple”, Samsung is said to have produced more than 90% of the OLED displays for the new iPhones.
OLEDs are one of many technologies used in smartphone screens. They offer a number competitive advantages over other display technologies and are competing with them in a market that is increasingly dominated by phone makers as well as electronics manufacturers like Apple and Samsung.
Apple has been examining new display technologies for its future products because it has been struggling with high-quality suppliers in China who can produce large numbers of LCD screens to meet its demand.
Introduction: Apple's iPhone 14 Series OLED Displays were largely supplied by Samsung
Apple's iPhone 14 Series OLED Displays were largely supplied by Samsung. The company received an increased amount of orders for these screens, for the device that Apple may release this year.
This report states that Samsung will likely have an increased amount of orders for the iPhone's OLED displays, as Apple is set to release a new gadget later in the year.
The display technology has been seen on a number of other devices released in recent years and has largely been used by most smartphone manufacturers because it has some advantages over LCD screens such as better contrast ratios and higher power efficiency.
Apple is expected to make their next announcement later this year, and this will be their first phone with OLED displays, which they have ordered from Samsung.
Samsung is not only supplying the screen but also providing Apple with semiconductors, display components and image sensors - all at a very high cost.

How the OLED Display Benefits Apple's New Lineup of Smartphones
Apple’s new line up of smartphones are the first to be equipped with OLED displays. They have been largely supplied by Samsung for this reason.
OLED displays are slimmer, use less power, and display a wider range of colors than LCD displays.
The screens also offer better contrast, support a wider color gamut, and provide more control over blue light exposure.
Research has shown that OLED screens can deliver better battery life as well. The iPhone 14 Series is expected to offer an average of 2 hours more battery life per charge than the iPhone 13 Series when they were released in 2019.
Why did Samsung supply the iPhone displays?
Apple has been looking for a new display supplier since 2016. The company found Samsung as the best replacement for the LCD displays and is planning to import 100 million units of OLED Displays from them.
The Korean company is the sole supplier of OLED display panels for iPhone 14 series. This deal will be worth $14 billion over three years, according to analysts.
OLED displays are expected to be adopted by most smartphone makers in the future and this will largely depend on Apple’s decision.
