During Q2’23, several applications that use OLED panels experienced positive growth compared to the previous quarter. OLED panel shipments for smartphones increased by 4% sequentially and 1% year-over-year. On the other hand, TV panel shipments grew significantly by 42% sequentially, although they decreased by 26% year-over-year.

Smartphones remained the largest category using OLED panels, accounting for 79% of the unit share in Q2’23. However, this was a decrease from the 84% unit share they held in Q1’23. This change was attributed to gains made by smartwatches, monitors, and game platforms.
