It was reported by Japan’s Nikkei newspaper on Tuesday, citing unnamed sources.

Television and smartphone makers are adopting OLED displays over LCDs for the former’s ability to deliver more vivid colours and sharper contrast, ideal for high-definition videos, as reported by Reuters.

The planned move will exclude Japan’s Sharp Corp, opens new tab and Japan Display, opens new tab from Apple s handset business, Nikkei said.

Apple has begun placing orders for OLED displays for the upcoming iPhone SE model from China’s BOE Technology (6740.T), opens new tab and South Korea s LG Display (034220.KS), opens new tab, according to Nikkei.

Sharp and Japan Display had a combined 70% share of iPhone displays about a decade ago but had supplied LCDs only for the iPhone SE recently and do not mass-produce OLED displays for smartphones, the report added.

Apple first used OLED panels in the iPhone X, unveiled in 2017, and has since switched to OLEDs for premium iPhone models.

The company brought OLED screens to the latest generation iPad Pro models launched in May.

Sharp, Japan Display and LG Display declined to comment in response to Reuters  queries. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
