Jeffrey Mathews, Senior Analyst at Strategy Analytics, said: “OLED display panels saw increased adoption in the supply chains of leading smartphone OEMs. More than 600 million OLED panels for smartphones were shipped to OEMs.”

The shortage of display driver ICs and increasing BOM restricted the growth of the OLED segment and allowed LCD panels to capture volumes.

“Smartphone Display Panel technology is set to be a strong point of differentiation this year. There will be intense competition for OLED displays as leading smartphone OEMs continue to seek more display suppliers to counter cost and supply challenges,” Stephen Entwistle, Vice President of the Strategic Technologies Practice at Strategy Analytics, said.
