The numbers line up roughly, and all it means is that everyone was caught unawares of the pace of change in the last twelve months as supply chains and inventories adjusted post-pandemic. Otherwise, the fluctuations within forecasts, and results, is within the margin of error for guesswork, as facetious as that may sound. All that means is that while growth in automotive displays is not a steep upwards slope, it is still a healthy upward slope.
