7月1日，据韩媒ETnews报道，三星显示和LG Display已分别于5月下旬启动iPhone 17系 列手机面板的显示材料及零部件的采购工作，并于6月开始生产首批面板。 报道称，预计iPhone 17系列的全部面板将由这两家韩国企业供应。尽管中国京东方（BOE）正集 中精力进军Pro机型， 但首批供货情况尚不明朗 。外界猜测， 由于决定在iPhone 17系列的所有 型号上采用低温多晶氧化物（LTPO）技术，苹果公司正面临挑战——过去，苹果的iPhone LTPO 面板一直由三星显示和LG Display全量供应，京东方仅部分供应了低温多晶硅（LTPS）OLED面 板。 分析指出，iPhone 17系列首批面板供货量较iPhone 16系列略有下调，这一调整既受全球智能手 机需求疲软影响，亦与地缘政治下关税政策变动密切相关。 一位显示行业内部人士表示："与最初的预测相比，显示面板厂商对iPhone面板订单的运营较为保 守且具有战略性，并做好了随时进行调整的准备。"（集邦Display整理） #OLED #iPhone #手机面板 #苹果 【集邦Display显示产业交流群】 作为苹果计划于今年9月发布的全 ...
