Research institutions also said that notebook OLED screens have a big problem with burn-in, but Samsung Display has developed a new panel that has greatly slowed this phenomenon and has been promoting this product since last year.
From the perspective of sales, TVs accounted for 81.6% of medium and large OLED panels, notebooks accounted for 8.3%, and a small amount were other products (such as tablet computers).
According to the report, the shipment of OLED panels below 10 inches was 140 million, a year-on-year increase of 32.4%, but a month-on-month decrease of 13.5%. These products are used in smartphones, smartwatches, and folding screen phones.
UBI said in the report that Samsung dominated the small-size OLED display panel, accounting for 79%, while LG accounted for 11.3%, ranking second.
