Global Markets, Technologies and Applications for Flexible Displays

-- Focus on the APAC Market

Published on September 2013

Report Summary

INTRODUCTION

A flexible display is a display whose form can be temporarily altered without affecting its functioning. In simpler words, flexible

displays can be bent, rolled, and twisted, without damage. It should be clarified that not every flexible display can support extreme

change in form. This report considers any display whose form can bereasonably altered as flexible.

After several years of uncertainty surrounding their commercial debut, flexible displays now appear closer to reality. There can be no

two opinions about the market potential for flexible displays. The idea of lending flexibility to such a powerful communication mode as

a display is laden with the potential of extremely rich and diverse revenue streams. There are, however, compelling technical reasons

that have held back flexible displays from a meaningful entry into the market.

Present-day display technologies that use a rigid base have set the bar very high in terms of picture quality, rich video support,

technology upgrades, and competitive pricing. For years, designers of flexible displays have been making up their minds about the

ideal entry-level readiness for their products. The reason for their dilemma is that in a flexible display-based product, flexibility is not

restricted to displays. The entire back-end mechanism, as well as other components of the device such as power supplies, and any

other input/output modes, need to be flexible as well. Current conventional displays service a wide range of devices. It will be nearly

impossible for flexible displays to match that breadth in the near future. Slowly but surely, stakeholders driving flexible displays are

realizing that their products' abilities will have to be progressively enhanced.

The commercialization of flexible displays hinges squarely on the successful synthesis of a flexible substrate. Present-day candidates

for flexible substrate materials are derived mostly from organic molecules and compounds. These have poor temperature resistance

capabilities. Designers therefore cannot apply mainstream semiconductor fabrication techniques to these substrates.

The search for alternative fabrication techniques has led stakeholders to look elsewhere: the printing industry. Printing techniques are

complicated and cost-effective, but not as rich in output as semiconductor fabrication techniques. The initial years of flexible display

commercialization will be dominated by applications that are not too demanding on video capabilities and form factors.

These limitations and challenges should not make us lose track of the larger picture. Flexible displays are credible game changers,

especially in applications that are faced with the prospects of declining revenues.

This report forecasts the exciting path that flexible displays will embark on in the next five years.

' To analyze the stakeholder landscape in the flexible display commercialization endeavors.

' To analyze the patenting activity involving flexible displays.

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 sales as well as shipment units are measured in thousands, and not millions. This is done so that the reader has a clearer idea of

the market breakdown along various parameters, especially in the early years of flexible display commercialization.

REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY

During the past few months, the market has been agog with excitement generated by announcements made by Samsung and LG

regarding their plans to introduce smartphones with flexible displays in the near future. These announcements are the first meaningful

public confirmation of the commercial debut of flexible displays in a critical market. (They have been preceded by comparatively

low-key pronouncements of the readiness of flexible displays in less exacting markets such as e-book readers and smartcards,

among others.) As the market is clearly in the fledgling stage, there is a compelling need to clarify the nature of technologies and

stakeholders that are driving flexible display commercialization. There is a real need for analyzing the challenges that have hindered

such commercialization so far. Finally, stakeholders driving flexible displays also need to have a firm grip on the market potential of

individual applications internalizing the technology in key country markets spread over diverse geographical regions.

This report aims at addressing these requirements.









SCOPE OF THE REPORT

The report forecasts the size of the market in current U.S. dollars for flexible displays in value and volume terms, from 2013 through

2018. The report forecasts the market size for:

' Flexible display-based applications such as e-book readers and tablets; notebooks and PCs; mobile phones and smartphones;

portable media players; automotive and navigation; smartcards and other cards; signage and billboards; retail and logistics; wearable

and defense.

' Forecasts are classified on the basis of display emission technologies, geographic region, and individual country markets.

The Executive Summary provides a snapshot of the market for flexible displays and the share of principal display technologies that

constitute it.

The chapter on the overview of flexible displays provides a theoretical base for discussing the flexible display market at length. It

covers the front-end as well as back-end design aspects. Key front-end display emission technologies are explained in context to their

suitability for flexible displays. The chapter also includes a high-level breakdown of the global market for flexible displays.
