In August 2013, DisplaySearch said that AMOLED technology is expected to take the revenue lead in the mobile phone display market. The company now released their new worldwide FPD shipment forecasts, and they say that actually LTPS LCD had the largest revenue share in 2013 (37%) followed closely by AMOLED (35%).
Interestingly, the company sees LTPS LCDs to grow in popularity as requirements for higher resolution and longer battery life will drive the growth. Those LTPS LCDs will grab 51% of the market by 2020. It's one of the first time I see a market research saying that AMOLED mobile phone displays wil stop growing in the future - and even decline in market share.
Technology | 2013 | 2014 | 2020 |
|
| AMOLED | 35% | 36% | 30% |
|
| a-Si TFT LCD | 27% | 19% | 18% |
|
| LTPS TFT LCD | 37% | 44% | 51% |

| Oxide TFT LCD | 1% |
