The Global Market for Paper-Thin Displays is Projected to Reach US$19.6 Billion by 2020
Rising Demand for Devices with Thin
& Flexible Displays Drives Growth in the Paper-Thin Displays Market,
According to a New Report by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA
announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Paper-Thin Displays. The global market for Paper-Thin Displays is projected
to reach US$19.6 billion by 2020,
driven by the increasing consumer demand for thin and flexible displays in
portable electronic devices.
Paper
thin displays (PTDs) refer to a type of ultra-thin displays with thickness
equivalent to a sheet of paper. Key benefits of PTDs spurring their popularity include
lightweight, shatter-proof, and bendable features. Paper-thin displays are
emerging as the display of choice as they work without a backlight and are also
reflective. Paper-thin displays not only offer a good reading experience, but
also enable energy savings. Also, compared to organic light emitting devices
(OLEDs) and transmissive liquid crystal displays (LCDs), the outdoor
readability of paper-thin displays is relatively high. The global market for
paper-thin displays is witnessing strong growth, driven by the increasing focus
on developing devices that are thin, compact and small. The miniaturization
trend is exerting increasing pressure on manufacturers to reduce overall
display thickness thus generating significant OEM interest in PTDs. Also
benefiting the market are developments in materials, design and fabrication of
flexible displays. With consumer demand for portability and convenience continuing
to grow strong, interest in displays that are paper-thin and flexible is rising.
At
present, demand for paper-thin displays is mainly concentrated in the portable
electronic devices sector, primarily for use in smartphones, tablets, and E-readers,
among others. With technology innovations that facilitate production of low
cost flexible color displays, penetration in other application areas is
expected to gain traction in the coming years. Specifically, PTDs offer
enormous potential for use in advertising signage, given their ability to
enhance the impact of digital advertising.
As
stated by the new market research report on Paper-Thin Displays, Asia-Pacific
represents the largest market, worldwide. Strong demand for a wide range of
portable electronics across developing Asian countries is lending traction to
market growth in the region. As the fastest growing market for smartphones
& media tablets, Asia-Pacific led by China and India, and growing
employment opportunities, rising income levels, and increasing 3G and 4G
penetration presents attractive opportunities for growth.
Major
players covered in the report include AU Optronics Corp., Innolux Corporation,
Dai Nippon Printing Co. Ltd., E INK Corporation, GPEG International, Kent
Displays, LG Display Co. Ltd., Japan Display Inc., RiTdisplay Corporation,
Samsung Display Co. Ltd., Tohoku Pioneer, Varitronix, and Visionox, among
others.
