Research Overview
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled LCD and OLED Manufacturing Equipment Market provides market drivers and restraints, competitive structure, demand analysis, growth strategies, and revenue forecasts. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following product categories: chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sputtering, and exposure equipment.
Market Overview
Boom in Display and Signage Sales Stokes Growth in the LCD and OLED Manufacturing Equipment Market
With escalating demand for larger fabs of Gen 8, Gen 8.5, and Gen 10, the liquid crystal display (LCD) and organic light emitting diode (OLED) manufacturing equipment market has witnessed a growth spur. The market will continue its upward growth trajectory through 2011, with the majority of demand stemming from the Gen 8 and Gen 8.5 segments. Burgeoning sales of LCD TVs, smartphones, and advertising screens is triggering high uptake of LCD manufacturing equipment. During 2010, TFT-CD fab expansions had boosted LCD equipment adoption. The intensifying focus on energy efficiency and the gravitation toward environment-friendly products will accelerate demand for OLED displays over the next 3-5 years. “The tangible advantages of OLED technology, such as sharper images and better contrast ratios, crisp colors, and faster refresh rates compared to any existing display technology will be a key driver,” notes the analyst of this research service. “OLED also offers consumers better energy management as the whole system functions at optimal power and is of organic substrate.” As the benefits of OLED displays become more prominent, the demand for OLED manufacturing equipment will witness a hike in the next 3-7 years. Technology innovations, better functionality, and falling price are expected to keep up the tempo of demand for OLED displays in mobile phones. The market is also expected to benefit from increasing demand for OLED displays used for signage.
Deposition and patterning of large substrates remain major impediments for LCD and OLED manufacturing equipment providers. The use of large substrates complicates the deposition process and incurs high capital costs in terms of material deposition and relevant technical issues with throughput and uniform deposition. Greater emphasis on design and prototyping will continue to revolutionize the display manufacturing equipment markets. As the consumer industry continues to witness increasing panel sizes, the deposition with high accuracy and throughput (without affecting integrity of material in the OLED market) will be a key challenge.
“LCD and OLED equipment manufacturers are constantly improving design and functionality of equipment to help overcome deposition challenges and battle bottlenecks,” says the analyst. “They are venturing into open collaboration with customers and creating product roadmaps that enable scalability for future generations of display manufacturing.” Innovative deposition techniques, testing, and other processes are expected to spike customer interest and elevate purchasing levels. Going forward, there will be increased collaboration between material providers, display manufacturers, equipment providers, and technology enablers to optimize material performance and lifetime. Constant innovation of manufacturing processes will be imperative to balance the relentless price pressures that display manufacturers confront.
