Samsung Display is expected to start mass production of panels at the end of 2026 as Apple shifts the iPad Air to OLED, sources said.
- Samsung Display plans to begin mass production of OLED panels for Apple's next iPad Air in late 2026 or January 2027, according to a report from ZDNET Korea.
- Apple currently equips its iPad Air models with Liquid Retina displays, which rely on LCD technology rather than OLED's superior contrast, faster response times, and better viewing angles.
- Display Supply Chain Consultants reported that 11-inch and 13-inch OLED iPad Air models are expected to follow in 2027, marking a shift from previous LCD-only configurations.
- While an OLED update enhances the iPad Air, Apple will likely reserve 120Hz ProMotion support exclusively for its more expensive Pro models to maintain product differentiation.
- Separately, research firm Omdia expects the iPad mini to adopt OLED in 2027, though Weibo-based leaker Instant Digital claims a launch could occur in the second half of 2026.
