Analysts are pouring cold water on a report that Apple Inc plans to use next-generation, OLED screens for all of its new iPhone models next year. 

The article in South Korea’s Electronic Times, if true, would be negative for major manufacturers like Japan Display Inc and Sharp Corp, which build LCDs that are used in many phones, but a positive for OLED technology makers like Universal Display Corp. Japan Display shares fell 8% May 29, while Sharp declined 3%. Universal Display shares climbed 4%.
