DisplaySearch has released a new edition of their Quarterly OLED Shipment and Forecast report.

The report says that:

• OLED display revenue will grow to 7.1B$ by 2016.


• AMOLED has passed PMOLEDs in Q1 2009


• Samsung Mobile Displays still #1 in OLED shipments, with a 37% market share. RiTdisplay is #2.


• Worldwide OLED display revenue in
  Q1'09 was $143 million, down 8% Q/Q. AMOLED revenues were up 17% Q/Q.

According to the report, several manufacturers are planning OLED TV panels in 2009. LG will debut their 15" AMOLED TV by the end of the year. DisplaySearch estimate that it's likely (they give it 70%) that Sony will release their 27" OLED TV this year. It's a bit uncertain because of Sony's financial situation.

Samsung might (DisplaySearch gives it 40% chance) release their 14.1" OLED TV - but there's no announcement yet.

DisplayDearch has released their Quarterly Worldwide FPD Forecast Report. They forecast that OLED TV revenues will increase at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 140% from 2008 to 2016 - from 2M$ in 2008 to 2.4B$ in 2016. Demand for electronic books will lift revenue of electrophoretic and similar display technologies at a 49% CAGR (from 246M$ in 2008 to 1.7B$ in 2016).

Total FPD sales will rise only 1% per year, according to DisplaySearch.

DisplaySearch are reporting Flat-panel TV sales have risen 23% in the first quarter, when compared to last year. DisplaySearch say that people are looking for bargains, and low-cost vendors (such as Vizio and Funai) are leading the sales. Samsung and Sony actually saw a decline in sales.

This is probably not good news for OLEDs: people aren't looking for high-end, quality displays. At least not now. Obviously things may change in a year or two.

There was a blog post last week at HCC that claimed that Sony are giving up on OLED TVs. According to the blog post, DisplaySearch are predicting that the main players in OLED TVs the next 5 years will be Samsung, LG, Toshiba and Panasonic. Sony is not on the list.

Now a blog post on ZDNet says they have discussed this with a Sony spokesperson who says that Sony are "fully committed" to OLED TVs. Good to hear that. I guess we'll know more at IFA 2009. If Sony will indeed launch a new, larger OLED TV, it should make Sony's position a bit clearer...

DisplaySearch has published a new Quarterly OLED Shipment and Forecast Report, in which they predict that OLED displays will reach 5.5$B by 2015 (up from 600M$ in 2008). Expansion of AMOLED manufacturing capacity will
enable production of larger displays for mini-notebook and notebook
PCs, desktop monitors and larger TVs.

In fact, DisplaySearch forecasts that in
2015, TV will pass mobile phone main display to become the
highest-revenue application at $1.92 billion.

Samsung SDI—whose OLED group merged with Samsung Electronics’ mobile
display business to form Samsung Mobile Display (SMD) in January
2009—had a strong Q4’08. As a result, Samsung SDI (now SMD) took the #1
position in shipments with a 31% share, passing RiTdisplay.

Samsung SDI
(now SMD) has been the leader in total OLED revenues for several
quarters thanks to its AMOLED shipments.

OLED displays accounted for less than 1% of total flat panel display revenue in 2008. DisplaySearch forecasts it will reach 5% in 2015.
