Market research firm IHS Markit says that LG became the world’s largest supplier of OLED smartwatch displays thanks to its lead over Samsung in Apple Watch orders …
Business Korea has the numbers.
Although Samsung makes its own range of smartwatches, they don’t come anywhere close to Apple Watch sales, and LG is the Cupertino company’s lead supplier.
Samsung, however, still appears poised to pick up the bulk of orders for this year’s OLED iPhone screens. Although Apple has been working hard to bring LG on board as a second supplier, even paying most of the setup cost of an LG production line dedicated to iPhone displays, the company has reportedly been struggling to meet quality targets in high-volume production. Recent reports suggest that LG will supply between two and five million OLED screens for this year’s iPhones, with Samsung providing the rest.
