According to a new report from The Elec, in order to create the iPhone 14 Pro display with a pill-shaped cutout on top, Apple asked the company's leading display supplier Samsung to use more advanced production methods to protect the surrounding display from possible damage and loss of image quality.

The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are the first iPhone to have a cutout directly within the display, unlike other iPhones, which have a notch that protrudes downward from the top bezel. The report claims that Apple asked Samsung to use additional inkjet equipment to create the cutouts while preserving the surrounding OLED panels when producing its high-end iPhone displays.

To create the pill-shaped cutout within the display, Samsung had to drill pill-shaped holes directly into the OLED panel, but doing so meant that the surrounding pixels and panel could be damaged and, if so, exposed to moisture and oxygen. To prevent possible exposure to moisture and oxygen, the report claims Samsung built a dam to separate the pill-shaped cutout from the surrounding pixels. From a machine-translated copy of the report:

This is because the first hole display was applied on the iPhone 14 Pro series. To make holes for the front camera lens, etc. on the top of the OLED screen, holes must be drilled in post-processing (module process). If the film package is damaged and the OLED is exposed to moisture and oxygen, the life of the product will be greatly shortened.
For this reason, it is known that after Samsung Display manufactures the thin film encapsulation and touch electrodes in the iPhone 14 Pro series OLEDs, it uses inkjet equipment to build a dam that separates the holes from the rest of the area and flattens the highly uneven areas. Samsung Display is able to perform this process using lasers rather than inkjet equipment, but Apple is said to prefer the inkjet method.

Samsung has a lot of experience making monitors, including ones with cutouts. The company's own line of smartphones feature a single-hole punch cutout that houses the front-facing camera. For the iPhone 14 Pro, however, the report suggests that Apple took extra care when producing the displays for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max to ensure the cutouts don't interfere with surrounding pixels and reduce image quality.

Elec said that another Apple display supplier, LG Display, also used the same method in its batch displays for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have the same display notch as previous iPhones, but the lower-end models of next year's iPhone range are rumored to have the same pill-shaped cutout as the iPhone 14 Pro.
