BOE produced some iPhone 13 displays for Apple last year, making it Apple’s third-largest display supplier after Samsung and LG. It also hopes to supply Apple with more displays, but BOE faces several problems, mainly due to insufficient inventory of display driver chips and low product yields. It is reported that in order to improve the yield rate, BOE quietly modified the circuit width of the thin-film transistors used in the OLED display of the iPhone 13, increasing the thickness to make manufacturing easier . This approach has not escaped Apple’s attention. The move could cause BOE to lose orders for as many as 30 million displays for the iPhone 14. BOE declined to comment on the report, saying “there is no change in the annual target in the OLED field.”
