Display Trends OLEDs

The Future of OLED Manufacturing

January 2024

Although active matrix OLEDs have become a $40B market, they are far from a mature technology. OLEDs have significant potential for more growth and are still evolving in terms of cost and performance. In addition, now that MicroLEDs are emerging, OLEDs are under greater pressure to boost performance and lower cost and we are seeing a number of efforts in parallel to significantly improve OLED cost/performance to prevent MicroLEDs from taking share. OLEDs are also aggressively moving into new markets and are tailoring future performance and cost improvements to enter these new segments. This report will examine how OLED panel manufacturers and materials suppliers are looking to boost performance and lower cost and enter new markets, growing the OLED market to well over $50B.

Advanced Semiconductor Packaging

Annual FOPLP and Glass Substrate Packaging Report

Annual

Artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors are becoming so complex and large that chip makers and packaging suppliers are turning to glass substrates. This trend could be a major boon to display makers, display equipment suppliers and display materials producers. It is also an ideal solution for under-utilized older a-Si TFT LCD fabs which could be converted or sold for this application. Advantages of glass substrates include superior flatness and better thermal and mechanical stability which will allow for higher density and higher performance chip packages to support AI. Glass substrates enable more transistors to be connected in a single package and also enable the ability to assemble larger configurations of chiplets. Organic materials used in packaging will likely reach their limit by 2030 , they consume more energy than glass and also have expansion and warpage limitations. A growing number of panel, equipment and materials suppliers have already announced programs in glass substrate packaging. TSMC announced CoWoS-R (organic interposer) for AI applications that glass substrate packaging will be adopted will be released in 2027. Intel has said it is targeting glass substrate package solutions in the second half of the decade. BOE has said they intend to start producing glass substrate packages in 2026 and JDI also mentioned they have started engaging in glass substrate packaging as an ASP (advanced semiconductor packaging) in its Q2’24 earnings call.
