According to Counterpoint Research, the shift to OLED is expected to drive significant growth in the OLED tablet market in 2024, with Apple’s panels leading in quality and features.

Despite the lower price of the 11.1-inch model, the 12.9-inch model has higher volumes.

“This is because the 11.1-inch model faces light leakage challenges in its panels, leading to lower yields for Samsung Display (SDC),” said the report.

According to Ross Young, President at DSCC, a Counterpoint Research company, LG Display (LGD) is the exclusive supplier for the 12.9-inch model and also contributes some volumes for the 11.1-inch model.
