OLED TV shipment delays stall OLED material growth
NPD DisplaySearch conclude in the company’s current ‘Quarterly OLED Materials Report’ that growth in the OLED industry is slower than expected due to few breakthroughs in AMOLED displays coupled with manufacturing costs that remain higher than those for LCD screens.
Among the various OLED technologies, AMOLED is getting more attention from display manufacturers, as the flat panel display (FPD) market matures and revenue
growth slows. AMOLED displays have been adopted mainly in mobile phones, but the AMOLED industry is now attempting to penetrate into televisions, tablet PCs, and other large-area display markets, and OLED material is expected to be one of key factors for this transition.
“The OLED material industry and related investors are justifiably worried about where the OLED material market is headed in the near future,” said Jimmy Kim, senior analyst for display materials and LED for NPD DisplaySearch. “If OLED TV shipments increase, the larger average unit area and lower yield rate will
increase the overall consumption of raw materials for OLED TV panel manufacturing.”
