DisplaySearch released a new small and medium-size LCD (TFT LCD) and organic light-emitting (AMOLED) display products report, noting that small and medium size TFT LCD next year, there will be a major change, mainly because the market demand and will produce large-size panel production plants transferred to the small size.
The agency small and medium displays research director Hiroshi Hayase and said: "Most of the AMOLED panel display manufacturers to begin although the principal is to create a mobile phone, but in the future are planning to cut into the notebook computer and television panels."
The following is the mainstream of small and medium size LCD panel applications, trend prediction:
1. Handset ─ ─ mainstream size has fallen mainly on 1.8-inch to 2.4 inch range, but more than 3 inches less than 4-inch growth of mobile phones is also very fast. Smart phones affects the growth of the main screen size the same time, in order to specifically seek a more perfect shape, new technology research and design also includes a thin-panel design, high-definition (HD, 720p and WVGA), and reduce the use of multimedia features The amount of power consumed. In addition, the main characteristics of mobile phone penetration and a half apart from semi-reflective (Transflective) and wide-screen display, the R & D technology is continuously developed to the ambient light sensors (ambient light sensor, ALS), Dynamic Backlight (content-adaptive backlight control, CABC) and the touch function.
2. Digital cameras ─ ─ mainstream size lies principally between the 2.4-inch to 3.5 inch, and the pursuit of a more perfect viewing quality and is currently being transferred to wide-screen. G2 and G3 are currently produced mainly, but recent G4 will also begin to join the production.
3. Digital Photo Frame ─ ─ mainstream size lies principally between the 5.6-inch to 10.2 inches, is gradually transferred to the G5 to produce, more and more designed for energy saving in favor of the use of LED backlighting, and the new driver chip as well as to save costs have been adopted to use. The major manufacturers as a group of Chong, China Ying and Caijing, while LG Display will actively develop a multi-functional digital photo frame panels.
4. Navigation equipment ─ ─ mainstream size has fallen mainly on 3.5-inch to 7 inches between the major manufacturers of Samsung, Sharp and AU Optronics. At present resolution, is gradually transferred to the WVGA and WQVGA, but new technologies are gradually being imported, including LED backlight panel, touch screen panel mixed (hybrid touch screen panel, hTSP) and dual-gate (dual gate) driver chip .
5. ─ ─ mainstream car display size of the main falls on 7-inch to 10 inches between the more and more people to make LED backlight panel integrated touch panel car monitor. Wrap-around panel for the vehicle displays a new trend, mainly in order to be able to meet the standards for various types of car dashboard.
6. Mobile Internet devices ─ ─ LED backlight, WVGA panel with WSVGA resolution, primarily for the development of specifications.
7. Industrial monitors (including the POS system, POS and ATM) ─ ─ basic features products for the LED backlight (development companies as NEC, Sharp and Toshiba), high brightness (developers of NEC and LG Display), sunshine is still under with readability (development of manufacturers to AUO) and long service life (developers of Toshiba).
