Samsung Display is planning to make more OLED screens for Apple’s new foldable iPhones. This shows that Apple expects strong sales for its first foldable phone.

According to information via ETNews, Samsung Display is considering investing in its A4 factory in Asan, South Chungcheong Province. The company wants to improve its equipment for making screens, which includes thin-film transistors (TFT). The final investment plan will be decided soon, and work could start in the second quarter of this year.

Samsung Display already has a special line for Apple’s foldable iPhones at its A3 factory. This line has been upgraded to make the “iPhone Fold” and can produce 15 million 7-inch foldable screens every year. Mass production of these screens is expected to begin in June. The iPhone Fold will be Apple’s first foldable phone.

Earlier reports reveal that this phone will reportedly have a 7.58-inch screen inside with a 4:3 shape and a 5.35-inch screen outside. Around 10 million units are expected to be made this year. Apple plans to release a new foldable iPhone next year, which means Samsung Display will need to make even more screens to meet demand.

Samsung Display is the only company that makes foldable OLED screens for Apple. With eight years of experience, it has the technology to produce foldable panels in large numbers, and it is expected to remain Apple’s exclusive supplier for years.

This expansion shows that foldable phones are becoming more popular. Samsung Display is playing an important part in helping Apple launch this new technology and meet growing customer demand. Stay tuned for more information.
