Apple is preparing to introduce its first MacBook Pro with an OLED display. According to Korean media, the panels for the new laptop will be produced by Samsung Display, which decided to change one of its material suppliers. The information was revealed by SFC in documents related to its planned IPO.
Samsung changes OLED material composition
As PRAD reports, citing ZDNet Korea, Samsung Display will use a blue host supplied by SFC in its new T3 material set. However, the supplier of the blue dopant will change; it previously also came from that company. The host is the base material of the OLED layer, while the dopant is responsible for light emission. Both are essential for proper display operation.
Interestingly, for the OLED iPad Pro Samsung used both materials supplied by SFC. The upcoming MacBook Pro, meanwhile, 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 OLED?
According to reports in the Korean media, Samsung Display is set to produce new panels on the A6 line of the 8.6 generation, prepared for laptop screens and other IT devices. The debut of the first MacBook Pro with OLED is expected as soon as October 2026. Apple has not officially confirmed this information.
The supplier change highlights growing competition in the OLED materials market, but for now it is unclear whether it will affect the specifications or the price of the future laptop.
