On February 9th, sources revealed that Apple is gearing up to introduce a more compact foldable smartphone, dubbed the iPhone Flip, subsequent to the launch of its larger counterpart, the iPhone Fold. In light of this development, Samsung Display is contemplating an expansion of its OLED panel production capabilities to cater to Apple’s foldable device lineup. Specifically, Samsung Display is mulling over the idea of channeling investments into cutting-edge foldable OLED manufacturing equipment at its A4 plant, situated in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea. The emphasis lies on enhancing backplane-related procedures, encompassing the thin-film transistor (TFT) production line. The broad strategy has been finalized, and the relevant capital outlays are slated to kick off in the second quarter of this year, subject to an internal appraisal of the precise investment magnitude.
