It's being reported this morning that Samsung planning to manufacture single stack OLED first at its first Gen 8 OLED production line. Samsung's current Gen 6 lines are suited for iPhones. Apple is expected to launch its first two-stack tandem OLED panel for their 2024 iPads, reports The Elec.

 

Samsung Display’s co-project to develop a full-cut, vertical deposition machine optimized for a Gen 8 line with Japan’s Ulvac had been aimed at single stack OLED from the start at the design concept stages, according to sources.

 

Single stack OLED means there is one red, green and blue emission layer while two stack tandem OLED means there is one more additional layer.

 

Having two RGB emission layers stacked in tandem increases the brightness of the screen while also extending its life, making the technology more optimal for tablets and PCs.

 

Samsung Display’s first Gen 8 OLED line will have enough space at the factory so that it can be converted to manufacture the more sophisticated two-stack tandem OLED, the sources said. This can be achieved by installing more chambers for the organic material vacuum deposition process.

 

While the new lines are aimed to service Apple, Samsung Display and LG Display are expected to use their existing Gen 6 (1500x1850mm) lines to make the OLED panels for the first OLED iPads. For more, read the full report by The Elec.

 

This report would suggest that first-gen OLED iPads with a single layer could debut prior to the 2024 two stack design. Whether the single stack OLEDs will launch this fall or in 2023 is unknown at this time.
