Shortly after reporting about LG’s plans to get out of the smartphone business, another update related to the Korean giant’s business is that it will stop producing iPhone LCD panels. 2021 is the year when Apple will likely rely on three suppliers for OLED screens, with LG being one of them, so that is where the company may focus its efforts.

The Elec mentions that LG’s current LCD panel production facility will be converted into an automobile display manufacturing center. In addition to halting iPhone LCD production, LG will no longer produce the same panels for other companies. With Apple said to ship around 180 million OLED iPhones in 2021, this figure potentially means the tech giant plans to overtake OLED iPhone numbers this year. This could be another reason why LG would have been forced to halt production.
