The advantages of OLEDs - energy efficiency, high brightness, rapid video switching capability, low weight and suitability for use on flexible substrates - will trigger a major replacement cycle in the display industry, which is currently entering a period of slow growth as the LCD computer and television display markets matures and economies of scale decline.
OLED displays are expected to capitalise on emerging flexible substrate technology to create new high-value products.
