Strong iPhone sales have helped boost flexible OLED display shipments from Samsung Display so far this year, according to a report from The Elec. Samsung shipped approximately 120 million flexible OLED smartphone panels in the first half of the year, up 35 percent year-over-year. That accounted for about 65 percent of the overall increase in global flexible OLED panel shipments.
Market research firm Sigmaintell expects demand to remain strong into the second half of the year, partly thanks to the expected launch of Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro and foldable iPhone models in September.
