Amoled Display Market, By Display Type (Conventional, Flexible, Transparent, 3D), By Material Type (Polymer, Glass), By Application (Mobile Display, Retail, Military, Automotive), And By Geography

Active-matrix Organic Light-emitting Display (AMOLED) can be described as a specific type of thin-film display technology in which organic compounds form the electroluminescent material. AMOLED works as an advancement of the OLED technology. An AMOLED uses an active-matrix TFT (thin-film transistor) array which contains a storage capacitors that maintains the line pixel states, and so enables large size (and large resolution) displays.

AMOLED display market is driven by their benefits over LEDs and LCDs. Due to their thinner, lighter, and flexible nature than the crystalline layers in an LED or LCD, AMOLEDs are preferred over LCDs and LEDs in the touchscreens of mobile phones, computers, netbooks, and tablet PCs. Moreover, as AMOLEDs do not require backlighting and filtering systems like LCDs as they generate light themselves, they consume much less power than LCDs. Although these displays are more efficient and have high-resolution capabilities, they have higher production costs due to their complicated nature of manufacturing.

The research study, “AMOLED Display Market (2013 – 2020)” is complemented by qualitative as well as quantitative data. The total AMOLED display market is segmented according to the application, material, display type, and region. On the basis of application, the market is segmented according to various industrial and commercial applications such as retail, automotive, military, and others. Based on material, the market is divided into types of basic material used for electroluminescence which includes polymer, glass, and glass substrate. The display type segmentation depicts existing and new display technologies such as transparent, flexible, and 3D displays, which are expected to replace conventional display techniques in the near future.

AMOLEDs are expected to form a mainstream market within the next five years owing to the growth trends of its application segments. This niche market is expected to develop further with R&D in application-specific AMOLEDs.

The major companies in the AMOLED displays market are AU Optronics (Taiwan), Beijing Opto-Electronics (China), Chimei Innolux Corp. (Taiwan), Dresden Microdisplay (Germany), Japan Display (Japan), LG Display (Korea), Panasonic (Japan), Samsung Display (Korea), Sharp Corp. (Japan), and Sony (Japan).
