[Assuming article means display panels] Samsung Dispay is finally getting around to making OLED laptop panels for OEMs. I don't know if this is related to any shortage of conventional laptop panels, or if Samsung has seen that there is a market for pricier laptops. Or maybe Samsung Display have improved their yields of bigger OLED panels.
There's also correlation with rumours of Apple bringing Mini LED displays ( effectively an evolution of the 'local dimming' approach, using thousands of LEDs behind an LCD filter to the extent that it approaches the contrast of OLED but with greater brightness. Further in the future, 'Micro LED' is commonly taken to mean one LED for each RGB LCD pixel, and it could be a contender) to MacBooks soon.
