LG Display has been chosen as a second supplier for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens for Apple's iPhones, the Electronic Times reported on Friday.

Samsung Display was the sole supplier of OLED displays for Apple.

A spokeswoman at LG Display declined to comment.

The South Korean newspaper cited unidentified sources as saying that LG Display's flexible OLED panels recently passed a series of Apple's quality test.

If confirmed, the supply deal with a major smartphone maker could help LG Display gain a further foothold in the OLED display market.
