TCL’s subsidiary CSOT wants to become one of Apple’s LCD display suppliers for future Mac and iPad models, according to the news serviced by South Korea-based The Elec.
The Chinese introduced the Mi 11 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro hybrid phone
According to sources, TCL president Li Dongsheng will visit Apple Park very soon. The boss of the Chinese electronics manufacturer, Cupertinolu, aims to make an LCD panel supply contract for iPads and MacBooks.
Agreement will be sought
CSOT operates in the global LCD market as a firm competitor of BOE. However, BOE is ahead in supplying LCD panels for laptops, tablets and monitors. It also has an edge over CSOT in OLED panel orders used in smartphones.
CSOT had assembled a team in the first half of the year to build an OLED production line for iPhones. If TCL manages to reach an agreement with Apple, CSOT could begin manufacturing LCD panels for new MacBooks and iPads in 2023 or 2024.
