100 million plastic OLED screens for the iPhone 8, says Samsung insider
Samsung has long been told to be the main supplier of OLED displays for Apple’s iPhone 8. But instead of shipping over its more conventional Super AMOLED displays, rumors are now pointing to plastic OLED displays.
A source to The Korea Herald said Samsung Display will use the more flexible OLEDs — found in the LG G Flex devices — as opposed to ones made out of glass to make up to 100 million curved units to ship to Apple for its highly speculative high-end iPhone 8.
Samsung uses P-OLEDs in its curved screen “edge” devices. All Galaxy S8 units are rumored to feature “edge” screens. The chaebol is said to have enough manufacturing capacity for Apple in addition to serving its own needs. Other, lower-end versions will feature LCDs from LG Display and Japan Display — both companies are vying to provide foldable screens to customers soon.
Apple will likely begin to diversify its LED screen sourcing in 2018 when more manufacturers come online with their foundries.

Japan Display may put flexible LCD up against AMOLED for foldables
The battle for display dominance continues. Even as LCD technology is being passed over for AMOLED for its literal apparent quality, those liquid crystals can still be a pretty darn colorful product. The argument for their versatility has long been pushed by Japan’s Sharp for the longest time.
However, it could be Japan Display Inc. that will take things to the next level. It has gone against the AMOLED grain — especially as flexible panels are expected to become the rage for Samsung’s patented, but unrealized foldable phones — for flexible, narrow-bezel (perhaps sub-millimeter) TFT-LCD panels. According to Japanese media, first offerings should come next year with volume production within the next three.
While the production cost gap between AMOLED and LCD is beginning to favor the former, we’re not sure if flexible panels bear the same difference. Brightness and service life for AMOLED still also lags behind LCD.
That’s not to say that JDI is all about LCD: it is also one of the rumored competitors that’s vying for Apple’s orders to supply AMOLED panels for the 2018 iPhone. The 2017 crown will almost definitely head to Samsung, the only company with anything near proper capacity for now to fit some units of the speculative iPhone 8. But many foundries, including ones with Foxconn-backed Sharp, are said to be coming online the year after next.
