Public Service Announcement
LG halted iPhone LCD production at its AP3 line at Gumi in the third quarter. The line also stopped making panels for other phones as well in the fourth quarter.
For LG, the LCD line for iPhones has been low in profitability. Apple also used organic light emitting diode (OLED) panels instead for its iPhone 12 series.
Apple’s LCD model, iPhone SE, which launched last year, will use LCD panels by JDI and Sharp instead. LG had previously attempted to supply LCD for the 2019-model iPhone SE but failed.
AP3, which will now focus on producing automobile display panels, will produce those with low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistors (TFT).
