Analyst: Apple’s switch to LTPO displays in iPhone 13 will make it the dominant tech by 2023 - 9to5Mac

A handful of rumors have indicated that this year’s iPhone 13 will use new LTPO display technology to enable ProMotion high-refresh rate.

Now, display analyst Ross Young is corroborating this expectation, saying that Apple’s adoption of LTPO will help make it the dominant display technology over the next two years.

Young posted on Twitter today that DSCC now expects LTPO display technology to overtake LTPOS AMOLED smartphones by the end of 2023 in terms of the percentage share of the US market.

This aligns with Apple’s planned transition to LTPO in the iPhone lineup.

A report from The Elec last month said that Samsung will convert its low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) TFT OLED display manufacturing into LTPO OLED manufacturing for the iPhone 13?

According to a research from UBI Research obtained by The Elec, Samsung Display will convert its lineup of OLED displays to LTPO, which are expected to be supplied to Apple sometime later this year.

ProMotion has been a feature of the iPad Pro lineup since 2017, but the big differentiator here is that the iPad uses LCD while the iPhone uses OLED.
