The vehicle display includes automotive components such as co-driver display, head-up display, center information display, rear seat entertainment, and others. OLED displays is the most preferred display technology among the major automotive players.
Increase in demand for OLED display devices in smartphones and tablets
Organic LEDs are emerging type of display technology. This technology removes the need of separate backlighting. The display panels based on this technology are thinner than other technologies that are integrated in display devices. This technology is widely used in smartphones which boast OLED screen and are rapidly becoming more prevalent. Major player like Apple, Oppo, Vivo, LG, and Xiaomi also stared using OLED displays from last few years. In addition, when in low light ambient conditions at room, an OLED can achieve higher contrast ratio than other technology.
By Application
Vehicle display would exhibit the highest CAGR of 9.40% during 2019-2026.
Rise in adoption of interactive touch-based devices in the education sector
In recent years, the number of devices with touch sensors has risen exponentially as touch-based devices are easier to access. The touch-based devices require a display panel to operate which, in turn, helps in the growth of display devices. The demand for interactive displays in schools, institutions, and universities has increased around the world. These displays are useful for learning and teaching purposes such as efficient interaction in classrooms, student accomplishments, and overall productivity. Interactive display offers numerous advantages such as increased level of engagement between students and teachers, allowing students with physical disability learn better, bring flexibility in learning, saves teaching cost, and allows students to save lessons for further review. Also, interactive flat panel display allows teachers to share text, video, and audio files with students easily.
High cost of new display technologies
The latest display technologies such as transparent display and quantum dot displays are relatively high in cost due to its complex design. Hence, most of the latest display technologies are integrated in premium devices, which are not affordable. This factor is expected to restrict the flat panel display market growth.
By Region
Asia-Pacific would exhibit the highest CAGR of 9.70% during 2019-2026.
Increase in adoption of flexible flat panel display
The current flat panel display market is focused on developing new technologies and products primarily for large-sized displays and high-resolution images. The flat panel display market in future is expected to concentrate on flexible displays. Flexible displays are thin, light, and less prone to breakage compared to conventional displays. Therefore, flexible displays are expected to replace current display devices as well as create new ones. These factors are expected to create lucrative flat panel display market opportunities globally.
