By Product Insights

The OLED display segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. In the realm of display technology, Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLED) are gaining traction among wearable device manufacturers. The shift from Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) to OLED lighting is driven by several factors. Firstly, the demand for thinness and lightweight design in wearable devices necessitates the use of OLED displays. OLEDs offer design flexibility, allowing manufacturers to create devices with curved screens and flexible displays. Moreover, OLEDs provide uniform illumination and excellent color rendering, making them an ideal choice for wearable devices. However, the higher cost of OLED displays, due to the expensive raw materials, remains a challenge.

The oversupply of LCD display panels, coupled with the entry of low-cost manufacturers from China, has led to a decline in the average selling price (ASP) of LCD panels. Consequently, LCD companies are seeking alternative technologies to maintain profitability. OLED displays offer higher profitability due to their superior features and unique capabilities. In conclusion, the trend toward OLED displays in wearable devices is driven by the need for thinness, lightweight design, uniform illumination, and color rendering. Despite the higher cost, major players are investing in OLED fabrication units to capitalize on the growing demand for these displays.
