Energized by their widespread use in cell phones, worldwide sales of OLED displays hit a record high of $192 million for the second quarter of the year, according to a report released this week by DisplaySearch.
Second-quarter sales of OLED displays rose 22 percent over the same period last year, and 32 percent over the first quarter of 2009, noted DisplaySearch’s latest “Quarterly OLED Shipment and Forecast Report,” which came out Monday.
The report said that shipments of AMOLED displays were especially strong thanks to their use in mobile phones, with more than 15 different AMOLED cell phone models released in 2009.
AMOLED (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) screens use less energy than PMOLED (passive-matrix) displays, making them better-suited for portable devices such as phones and MP3 players.
“AMOLED displays have become an important differentiating feature for high-end electronic products,” said Jennifer Colegrove, DisplaySearch director of display technologies, in a statement. “This technology is not only used for mobile phone main displays, but has also penetrated the market for portable media players, digital still cameras, and other applications.”
