Report Scope:

The report provides a snapshot of the market for flexible displays and the share of principal display technologies that constitute it. It also provides an overview of flexible display technologies, fabrication technologies and printing/lithography technologies as well as back-end design aspects. Key front-end display emission technologies are explained in context to their suitability for flexible displays. The report also includes a high-level breakdown of the global market for flexible displays.

The report also examines the global market for flexible displays in key applications, broken down by individual applications by display technologies and geographical regions in sales as well as unit shipments. Finally, the report presents vendor and stakeholder analysis with an overview of the major stakeholder classes engaged in flexible display commercialization. It also analyses the activities of key players in this domain. For this report, we consider curved displays also as flexible, as they constitute an important milestone in the departure from flat panel displays towards achieving full flexibility.

This report considers the following applications -
  • E-book readers and tablets.
  • Notebooks and PCs.
  • Mobile phones and smartphones.
  • Gaming devices and media players.
  • Automotive and navigation.
  • Smartcards and other cards.
  • Signage and billboards.
  • Retail and logistics.
  • Wearables and defense.
It should be noted that this report does not cover television displays. It also does not cover displays used in scientific applications and industrial instruments. The above list is not an exhaustive coverage of flexible displays and applications. It is widely expected that flexible displays will expand the horizons of present-day display applications and that display manufacturers will discover new surfaces, substrates and bases that can host display functions.

Report Includes:
  • 83 data tables
  • An overview of the global markets for flexible displays and technologies
  • Analyses of global market trends, with data from 2017 to 2018, and projections of compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) through 2023
  • Snapshot of flexible display technologies, fabrication technologies and printing/lithography technologies
  • Insights of present-day display technologies
  • Understanding of concepts related to implications of flexibility, dynamic interferometry and front-end emission (display) technologies
  • Profiles of major companies of the industry including, AU Optronics, Sony Corp., L3 Technologies, Solvay and Fujifilm Dimatix
