Samsung is set to initiate mass production of 8th-generation OLED screens in the first half of 2026, according to a recent report from UBI Research. This development could potentially hasten the arrival of the much-anticipated MacBook Pro equipped with an OLED display.
Samsung’s Early Investment in OLED Technology
UBI Research’s report revealed that “Samsung Display decided to invest in the 8th generation OLED line for IT products early this year.” This investment encompasses OLED screens for a range of IT devices, including laptops, tablets, and monitors.
