Next-generation displays are transforming consumer electronics by offering superior visuals, innovative designs, energy efficiency, and improved interactivity, shaping the future of smart devices, entertainment, and digital communication. For example, according to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, Japan's consumer electronics production reached $204.75 million (¥32,099 million) in May 2023, a significant increase from $161.17 million (¥25,268 million) in May 2022. This growing demand for consumer electronics is fueling the growth of the next-generation display market.

Key players in the next-generation display market are concentrating on creating innovative technologies, such as OLED, to enhance picture quality, resolution, and user experience. Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology uses organic compounds that emit light when an electric current is passed through them. For example, in May 2024, LG Display Co. Ltd., a South Korean display manufacturer, launched a variety of next-generation OLED and advanced display technologies. These included organic light-emitting diode on silicon (OLEDoS) for virtual reality (VR), large-sized OLED panels with improved picture quality, and automotive display solutions designed for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). OLEDoS for VR provides higher screen brightness and resolution than existing standards. Despite being only 1.3 inches in size, about the size of a coin, it delivers a display brightness of 10,000 nits and a sharp resolution of nearly 4,000 ppi, comparable to 4K quality. Additionally, it covers over 97% of the DCI-P3 color standard, offering a more realistic virtual reality experience with high-quality visuals.

In August 2023, Leia Inc., a U.S.-based provider of glasses-free 3D display hardware and software solutions, acquired Dimenco B.V. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Leia Inc. aims to accelerate the mainstream adoption of immersive 3D experiences across multiple platforms and devices, unify cross-platform 3D solutions, and expand its content ecosystem, including 3D video calling, streaming, and interactive applications. Dimenco B.V. is a Netherlands-based technology company specializing in spatial visualization, combining hardware, software, and technology to deliver immersive three-dimensional experiences without the need for wearable devices.
