OLED panels share in smart phones to rise to 50% by 2023

TrendForce reports that OLED technology based display panels will secure more than 50% market share in the smartphone industry by 2023 due to continuous decrease in costs. Here below the latest points and analysis shared by the TrendForce: OLED penetration rate in other applications like TV, laptop, and tablets is considerably less, standing at under 3%. To boost the market penetration of OLEDs, panel manufacturers must tackle more demanding technical challenges, including improved specifications and the need for effective cost reductions to meet market expectations. The report highlights the introduction of eLEAP technology by Japan Display Inc. (JDI). For the first time, this technology employs a maskless technique, achieving lower power consumption, higher brightness, and an extended lifespan. Two primary obstacles in high-generation OLED development—RGB evaporation interference and uneven film thickness caused by gravity-induced sag of the Fine Metal Mask (FMM) as it enlarges—are addressed by eLEAP. By resolving these issues, eLEAP bolsters the development of higher-generation panels and increases production efficiency via mass production. In parallel developments, Visionox showcased its maskless ViP technology at the Society for Information Display’s annual Display Week. The company has successfully reduced the gap between pixels by combining the lithographic...
