OLED Technology Report

Summary

TFT LCDs are coming face to face with a formidable challenge. OLEDs target LCD technology where it is most vulnerable with a product that is thinner, more flexible, more responsive and easier to read in ambient light. How does this rapidly emerging technology work? Which brands will be the first to bring OLED products to market? And how will the rise of OLEDs impact the entire display supply chain?

The updated OLED Technology Report guides readers through the world of OLED lighting and displays including

  • The rapid evolution of OLED technology
  • How OLEDs are made and manufactured 
  • The materials and equipment needed for OLEDs
  • Key factors that will drive future revenues and costs
