Japan Display to Supply OLED Screens For Apple Watch

Japan Display Inc will begin to supply organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens for the Apple Watch later this year, a breakthrough for the cash-strapped company whose late shift to OLED has cost it orders from Apple.

The supply deal would mark Japan Display’s foray into the OLED display market, the two sources familiar with the matter said, declining to be identified because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

A spokesman for Japan Display said he could not comment on specific customers.

Japan Display’s mainstay liquid crystal display (LCD) business has been slumping due to Apple Inc’s recent shift away from LCD, and disappointing sales of the iPhone XR, the only LCD model in Apple’s 2018 line-up.
