Flexible display, as the name suggests, offers flexibility to user, where it can be bent, folded and rolled. Flexible display has wider viewing angle, which is more convenient for user than the conventional displays. Moreover, the content on flexible display need not be referred constantly. Conventional display such as LCD, Plasma and TFT-LCD, images fade in sunlight, which is not a problem with the Flexible display. Flexible display can also be used in e-books,  cell  phones,  music  players,  smart  card  displays,  electronic  apparel,  e-newspaper,  posters/signage applications, and  others. Flexible  display can  be used  in electronic  pricing  labels  (e-labels) in  retail  shops, time tables at bus stations, electronic billboards e-books, newspapers e-paper magazines, and so on.

The report entails the market analysis and forecasts related to flexible display components, and its applications. The report also highlights various display technologies like organic light emitting diode (OLED), liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS), liquid crystal display (LCD), E-paper, and so on, with an overview of their growth potential in the next five years. 

The flexible display market is segmented broadly into market by materials, components, technology, application and geography. The material segment is then subdivided in to polymer, glass, Glass reinforced plastic (GRP). The components market is subdivided into emissive and non-emissive materials. The technology market is divided in to  LCD,  OLED,  E-paper  and  LCOS.  The  application  market  is  divided  into  smartphone,  tablet,  e-reader, laptop/notebook, TV, smart card, POP/ESL, wearable display, and others.
