15" OLED Panel from LG Headed for Apple Notebook This Summer?

SmartHouse reports that LG is preparing to release a 15" display panel based on OLED technology, with the first appearance of the panel to be in a "brand new Apple notebook" in June.

A senior executive at LG Display who has been closely involved in the development of display technology for Apple said "The early models will be double, if not triple, the price of an LCD panel however, over time they will fall".

The new 15" LG OLED display panel is tipped to be shown for the first time in a brand new Apple notebook in June and later in the year it will appear as a standalone TV/monitor.

Notably, Apple and LG recently signed a five-year agreement for display panels, signifying a strengthened relationship between the two companies.

SmartHouse has previously been a source for Apple rumors regarding both OLED display panels and tablet Macs, claims which have either not yet panned out or been met with some skepticism due to their sweeping nature.

OLED? Duh, it's going to be something "completely new" -- ie. tablet or something we haven't even dreamed of! :)

I'm still crossing my fingers for a flexible display. With OLED, that makes this possibility much more likely. Check out this quick guide to OLED.

As a result of being much thinner than the LCDs, they also are much lighter and more flexible too.

It's about time Apple got off its collective butt and shoved something other than a crappy TN panel in their laptops.

15"? Can't be a tablet then, can it?

BTO option on the Macbook Pro? Hopefully at least 1650 x 1050.

While I like that Apple is embracing new technology and coming out with great new products. The last thing I want to hear right now is their prices going up even more.
