Jeffrey Mathews , Analyst at Strategy Analytics says “In Q1 2020, the display panel market for smartphones continued to see demand for OLED panels that drove the overall display market revenues while smartphone LCD panels got impacted due to the oversupply and drop in demand, leading to a fall in revenues and shipments for LCDs. Samsung Display grabbed major design wins for its flexible OLED panels with major smartphone OEMs that aided in its first quarter revenues.
According to Stuart Robinson, Executive Director of Handset Component Technologies Service at Strategy Analytics, “We expect the display panel market to continue to observe a slowdown in smartphone panel demand due to disruptions in supply chains of customers along with a strong decline in demand for end-market products owing to COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that the display panel vendors will continue to differentiate their portfolio with innovative display technologies among customers.
