Annual Outlook for Key Display Materials

Annual

The production of flat panel displays requires many different materials. In this report, we examine the market and trends for various gases, metal targets, liquid crystal, photoresist and PI alignment. This report reviews vital materials used in display production and provides estimates of consumption and revenues for each category of materials. The report also profiles major suppliers for each material and a forecast for material consumption and revenue. As the display industry becomes dominated by production in China, local suppliers are emerging to provide a domestic material supply chain and the report includes profiles of China's domestic material suppliers.

Semi-Annual MiniLED Backlight Technologies, Cost and Shipment Report

Semi-Annual

MiniLED backlights in LCDs can potentially offer numerous advantages over other flat panel display technologies, most notably in high brightness, high contrast ratio, lower power consumption than WOLED TV and higher efficiency. The superior performance makes MiniLED backlights attractive for use in a variety of applications, ranging from large TVs to IT applications. Automotive and industrial applications are also advantageously addressed by MiniLED backlight technologies due to their higher brightness and higher contrast ratio.

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.

Inkjet Printing Display Technology Report

Inkjet printing (IJP) technology is seen as an alternative choice to WOLED in large-size premium TV applications as well as potentially a primary option for medium sized displays. In recent years, panel makers, like Samsung Display, LG Display, AUO, BOE, China Star and JOLED, have put a lot of energy and investment into this technology. This technology is maturing every day, and it is likely to move into actual production in the near future. In 2021, China Star not only invested in and began collaborating with JOLED, but also revealed its T8 Gen 8.5 inkjet OLED mass production line plan in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. Although the timing of T8 remains unclear at the moment, it can still be seen as an essential step for inkjet technology entering actual production. With this report, DSCC provides a comprehensive analysis of this technology and discusses machine setup, technology details, the current supply chain, panel makers’ plans and product cost in each of the different types of products. Potentials, bottlenecks and feasible solutions of this technology are also reviewed in detail.
