Overview:

We expect that the smartphone display market’s OLED adoption rate will exceed that of LCDs for the first time in 2023

While the penetration ratio for LCDs is relatively weakening in the 2023 smartphone display market, the significant decline of LTPS LCDs leads to the immediate growth of A-Si LCDs.

Global Smartphone Market Forecast by Display (2018-2022)

Overview:

The smartphone display market is witnessing an increasing rate of adoption of flexible OLED applied with new technologies such as LTPO OLED and foldable display.

After 2021, LCD is expected to show a sharp decline due to the loss of price competitiveness. On the other hand, Rigid OLED is expected to see an increase in market demand from 2020 to 2021. But with the reduced gap between the market unit prices of rigid OLED and LTPS LCD, the business profit margin is decreasing, making it difficult for display companies to invest in rigid OLED on a large scale. As such, the supply of rigid OLED is expected to be limited. Meanwhile, as price competition among major flexible OLED suppliers is intensifying, the price of flexible OLED is expected to drop sharply. Therefore, flexible OLED is expected to show highest growth in 2020-2022.
