Apple is preparing to introduce its first MacBook Pro with an OLED display. According to South Korean media, the panels for the new laptop will be produced by Samsung Display, which has decided to change one of its material suppliers. The information was revealed by SFC in documents related to its planned listing on the stock exchange.
Samsung changes OLED material composition
As PRAD reports, citing ZDNet Korea, Samsung Display will use the blue host supplied by SFC in its new T3 material set. The supplier of the blue dopant will change, however — that dopant previously also came from the same company. The host is the base material of the OLED layer, while the dopant is responsible for light emission. Both components are essential for the proper functioning of the display.
Interestingly, in the case of the OLED iPad Pro Samsung used both materials supplied by SFC. The upcoming MacBook Pro is expected to receive a Tandem OLED panel with two emissive layers, in which the blue dopant will come from a different manufacturer.
When will the MacBook Pro get an OLED display?
According to reports in the Korean media, Samsung Display is said to be producing new display panels at its 8.6-generation A6 line, designed for laptop screens and other IT devices. The first MacBook Pro with an OLED display is expected to debut in October 2026. However, Apple has not officially confirmed these reports.
The change of supplier highlights growing competition in the OLED materials market, but it is not yet known whether it will affect the specifications or the price of the upcoming laptop.
