How is the trend of Wearable Display Market in the Coming Years?

By -

The growing popularity of smartwatches, fitness monitors and other wearable applications is driving up shipments of the displays used in these devices, from 34 million units in 2015 to 39 million in 2016. Nearly six out of 10 displays used in wearable devices in 2015 were active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) panels used in smartwatches, according to IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical information and insight.


“Smartwatch manufacturers are increasingly turning to AMOLED displays because they are thinner, lighter, have high color-performance and consume less power than other types of displays,” said Jerry Kang, principal analyst for IHS Technology. “This trend will continue in 2016, since flexible AMOLED display free-form design process enables narrower form factors and even folding bezels.”


Apple, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, and Microsoft have all adopted flexible AMOLED displays for their smartwatches. Supported by this widespread adoption by leading manufacturers, unit shipments of flexible AMOLED displays for smartwatches are expected to increase from 23 million units in 2016 to 80 million in 2024.


Smartwatches are expected to continue to lead the wearable display market in the coming years. Unit shipments are forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 22 percent from 2015 and reach 118 million units in 2024, according to the IHS Wearable Display Market & Technology Report. Even with this growth, total unit shipments of smartwatch displays will only equal 5 percent of smartphone display shipments in 2024.

Now so many mobile phone screen technology, I'd like to introduce various display panel and screen technology, to make everybody can distinguish them easily. At present there are only two mobile phone screen classification, TFT - LCD and OLED, They respectively represent the passive and active display screen.Passive panel need the support of the back light, Active panel can self-illuminate and need no back light. OLED mainly represented by Samsung Super AMOLED（Super Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. TFT-LCD include: TN、VA、IPS、CPA（AVS） TN(Twisted Nematic)-- Low-cost make it is one of the most widely used screen. but the disadvantage is that small visual Angle, color reduction ability is limited VA(Vertical Alignment)-- It doesn't suitable for touch panel of mobile phone because it will have ripple of pressing. IPS(In-Plane Switching)-- With advantages of wide visual angle and good performance of color reduction. CPA(Continuous Pinwheel Alignment)--

How do a touch screen works?

I recently overheard a woman on the subway telling her friend that her toddler “swipes” everything in their house – the coffee table, books, plates and even her own mother, trying to make her disappear like an image on a touch screen. The story got me thinking that for many of us, our knowledge of what’s going on behind that glossy display isn’t much more than a toddler’s. Before I started researching how touch screens worked, I figured there was one universal technology behind the “swipable” phenomenon. Instead it turns out there are half a dozen, and more being researched every day. The two most commonly used systems are resistive and capacitive touch screens. For the sake of simplicity, I will focus here on these two systems and finish with where experts think touch screen technology is headed. 1. Resistive These are the most basic and common touch screens, the ones used at ATMs and supermarkets, that require an electronic signature with that small grey pen. These screens lite
