It will be the first time in Apple’s history that it will introduce OLED to the 14-inch and 16-inch M6 MacBook Pro models, and according to the latest report, there should be negligible resistance when launching these machines because the company’s supplier has achieved a new milestone with the display technology.
Samsung, Apple’s exclusive OLED supplier for the 14-inch and 16-inch M6 MacBook Pro, is expected to begin mass production as early as next month due to its tremendous progress
The latest update from The Elec states that Samsung has surpassed 90 percent yields for its 8.6th-generation OLED technology, obtaining incredible stabilization to the extent where it can begin mass production of the panels for Apple’s M6 MacBook Pro series. Currently, the Korean manufacturer is operating with a capacity of 7,500 monthly sheets, which is half the amount of its 15,000 threshold.
Samsung’s milestone of achieving over a 90 percent yield was reportedly accomplished in just over a month, with the previous figure exceeding 80 percent in April. Unlike chipset manufacturing, where a 70 percent yield is typically an ideal benchmark for commencing mass production, the display industry operates differently and has a more stringent requirement; 90 percent or above is usually a suitable figure.
Another benefit of achieving the aforementioned yield is that the pressure on Samsung from Apple to reduce OLED prices is lifted, as there will be fewer defective units, leading to reduced manufacturing losses. Due to this milestone, the report states that Samsung is scheduled to begin the manufacturing as early as June, putting it far ahead of rivals like BOE, who also intends to pursue…
