Equipment and Materials

The growth of the FPD market with the diffusion of digital home appliances is driving the large-format photomask market and prompting some companies to enter.  In order to remain competitive in such circumstances, companies have been strengthening their technological capabilities and creating higher value-added products, as well as provide products at reasonable cost and with a delivery time that satisfies customer demands. Driving the TFT-LCD photomask market are a generation-shift to bigger glass plates and a design-rule cycle of panel technology that changes every 12 months. In this report, the worldwide markets are analyzed and projected, and market shares of vendors presented.

The research published on flexible display covers the significantgame-changing materials, components, technologies like LCD, LED, OLED, TFT, flexible, transparent, or 3D. There are several importanttrends which have been driving the technological innovations in the display industry since its early days which, directly or indirectly, are driving the market, currently. These trends include image quality, screen size, portability, power savings, interconnectivity, and user-friendliness. While these trends still remain as strong undercurrents, new drivers are being introduced which will play more prominent role in shaping the flexible display industry. The study also talks about the different applications like smart phones, tablets, POP/ESL, laptops, and wearable. The technological segmentation that is described in the study includes LCD displays, LED displays, OLED displays andliquid crystals on silicon displays(LCoS).
