As more and more mobile phones start using OLED screens, is it really time to say goodbye to LCD panels? No.
Recently, a TrendForce research report showed the current popularity of LCD screens and OLED screens.
The report pointed out that with the gradual increase of OLED panels in mobile phone applications,The penetration rate of mobile phones using OLED panels is estimated to be around 47.7% in 2022. This also means that LCD screens still occupy half of the country, or even more.
The popularity of OLED screens stems from the adoption of all iPhone 12 series launched by Apple in 2020. Spurred by Apple, other mobile phone brands have started to expand the introduction of OLED panels in high-end models.
At present, Apple’s iPhone SE series still remains in the LCD panel.OLED panels are used in more than half of Samsung mobile phones, while 30-40% of Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo mobile phones use OLED panels, and LCD screens still account for more than 60%.
In addition, Transsion, which focuses on low-cost mobile phones in the African market, still sticks to LCD screens and the percentage of OLED panels is very low.
Some industry analysts believe that although OLED screens have many technical innovations and improvements, they have not completely solved the problems of burn-in and screen life, and the output cannot be compared with LCD.
In most low-end cell phones, LCD screens will still be the primary choice for cell phone screens.
TrendForce predicts that the mobile phone penetration rate of OLED panels will only reach 50.8% in 2023 and is expected to exceed 60% in 2026.
