Expanding Market Opportunities for Small/Medium Flat-Panel Displays



Markets for small and medium form factor flat panel displays are rapidly expanding. At the same time many new vendors are entering this market and existing vendors are adding capacity, all putting downward pressure on prices and margins. Much of the short-term growth is being fueled by continuing expansion in the mobile handset segment. As improving display technologies provide larger screens, richer colors, sharper contrast and higher refresh rates, consumers are continuing to trade in their current handsets for the latest/greatest models. Second to mobile handsets, MP3 players, digital cameras and camcorders, portable game and video players and automotive entertainment and navigation displays are all contributing to the overall growth of this market.

In addition to the growth in end-use applications, a technology transition is underway in which older display technologies such as MTN-LCD and CTN-LCD are giving way to TFT-LCD and OLED. As a result of this shift, ABI Research forecasts both TFT-LCD and OLED to post double digit growth rates through the forecast period. This study includes an analysis of the key small/medium display end-use applications products that will drive demand, plus a detailed view of the various display technologies that vendors are bringing to market.
