Omdia: Global shipments of def習看ormable displays will reach店村 117.7 million units in 2029

According to a recent唱文 study released by Omdia, with ad他制vances in display technologies 山電such as bend radius (從就BR) and light transm舊化ission (TR), shipments 間河of convertible displays媽去 will be 22 million units in 202花西2 and 117.7 million units in 2029, acc草裡ounting for 2.7% of the flat panel 又來display market.

Omdia defines convertible displays b從上ased on bending radius and light tr很窗ansmission and class分窗ifies them into various for有歌ms such as bendable d也飛isplays, foldable displays, r了大ollable displays, stret些新chable displays and transp請農arent displays.

Among them, foldable dis資喝plays are rapidly prolifer年飛ating through advanced sm玩用artphone applications化街 and are expected to become the most 白玩mainstream form of convertible d窗外isplay development by 2算對029. Specifically, by 2029, ship雜影ments of foldable displays wil爸店l increase to 107.5 million units, rea熱國ching a 2.5% share of the over拿船all flat panel display mar木刀ket, with a CAGR of 28.0%年年 from 2022-2029.

Omdia's analysis says that organ們吧ic light-emitting dio又服de (OLED) displays are expected to窗窗 be the most talked about tech問志nology during 2022-2029. 要科OLED displays are self-emitting,車劇 thin-layer structures that are flex能場ible and transparent and ca懂視n be used to design a variety o現很f deformable displays (e.g., f腦生oldable displays).

"Over the past 20 years,分可 most panel manufacturers hav說就e demonstrated or in自黃troduced a wide variety o城報f deformable displays," said Jer明南ry Kang, research manage個話r at Omdia, "and OLED displays h草街ave proven their versatility acr爸空oss convertible displays, wh件就ile other display technologies得站 in terms of bending ra票輛dius and light transmis歌務sion are quite limited. Liquid c姐討rystal displays (LCD) are favored in th窗可e display and cooler m小自arket where light sources ca吧都n be easily embedded,北車 and will continue to dominate the t樂熱ransparent display market in term動飛s of shipments."長姐;

Today, the main reason behind 音開the slowing growth in那區 shipments of deformable displays湖我 is the limited demand for spec議日ial-purpose products such as foldable 鐘志smartphones, rollable TVs, an歌老d transparent cooler家個s, rather than typical consu錯議mer applications such as s懂也martphones, smartwatches, and吃去 tablet PCs. While this segment 了近will not grow significantly in the near區男 term, innovative form factors用們 can and have expanded the use of displ司議ays, as we have seen with flexible d身費isplays, which have rapidly 技少penetrated the smartphone display少資 market.
