Supplying OLED is Samsung Display, which is expected to be supplied with touch-integrated OLED "Y-OCTA" developed by the company. Y-OCTA is an on-cell type touch function built-in type display among capacitive touch panels, and by incorporating a touch function, we can make the display lighter and thinner. Display based on Y-OCTA technology has already been adopted in Samsung's Galaxy S9 / S9 + and others.

According to ET NEWS as supplier information, Apple has already decided to adopt OLED using Y-OCTA technology and is preparing for development and manufacturing. It is also said that Samsung has strengthened its relationship with suppliers towards supplying to Apple.

However, OLED using Y - OCTA has limited supply quantity, so it seems that it will be limited to high - end models among the 2019 model to install this display. Meanwhile, Y-OCTA's display, which is thinner and lighter than the conventional display and also has low cost due to few parts, is also expected to be adopted in lower models as soon as the supply system is established .

Samsung also supplies OLED to iPhone X and iPhone XS / XS Max, but Apple is cooperating with LG as a "second supplier". Meanwhile, it is reported that Samsung has sold its touch function integrated OLED to Apple from himself.
