MacBook Pro OLED panels ready to go into mass production next month, new report says
According to a new report from Korea, Samsung Display has reached above 90% yield for the OLED panels intended for the next-gen Apple MacBook Pro. In fact, some processes even reached 95% yields.
The panels will be ready for mass production and subsequent shipment to Apple's assemblers as early as June, the report goes on to state. The supply volume is estimated at approximately 2 million units.
The manufacturing of OLED panels for laptops is more difficult than for smartphones due to the larger area, and how requirements for brightness, lifespan, and uniformity are influenced by it.
Apple is expected to launch the MacBook Ultra this year or next year, which is rumored to come with an OLED touchscreen. The next-gen MacBook Pro, on the other hand, may get the OLED panel but without the touch functionality.
