• In March 2020 NEC Corporation and Sharp Corporation formed a joint venture agreement by uniting NEC Display Solutions, Ltd. (NDS), an NEC subsidiary, with Sharp.

• In January 2021 Samsung Display, Samsung Electronics' display manufacturing unit, said that it might commence mass production of the world's first 90Hz OLED panel. South Korean business claims that this 90Hz refresh rate panel might offer high-speed driving capability comparable to 120Hz LCDs.

In this report, the Flat Panel Display Market has been segmented by Technology, Applications and Geography.

Flat Panel Display Market, Segmentation by Technology

The Flat Panel Display Market has been segmented by Technology into Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Plasma Display, Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) and Others.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
LCD technology continues to dominate the flat panel display market, accounting for over 45% of the global share. It is widely adopted in televisions, monitors, and laptops due to its energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The demand for high-resolution and slim-profile displays has further reinforced the dominance of LCDs in both consumer and commercial applications.

Plasma Display
Plasma displays have witnessed a significant decline, holding less than 5% of the market share in recent years. Despite offering excellent color accuracy and deep contrast, they are being rapidly phased out due to high power consumption and the rise of more efficient technologies like OLED and LCD. Their use is now largely limited to niche applications.

Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)
OLED displays are gaining strong momentum, capturing around 30% of the market. Known for their superior contrast, flexibility, and faster response times, OLEDs are increasingly used in smartphones, televisions, and wearables. Their capability to deliver true blacks and vibrant visuals makes them ideal for premium displays.

Others
This segment includes emerging technologies such as MicroLED and Quantum Dot displays, which collectively represent under 20% of the market. These technologies promise higher brightness, better color reproduction, and longer lifespans, and are expected to grow steadily as production scalability improves and costs decrease.

Flat Panel Display Market, Segmentation by Applications

The Flat Panel Display Market has been segmented by Applications into Consumer Electronics, Television (TVs), Mobile Phone, Personal Computers, Automotive Applications and Other Applications.

Consumer Electronics
Consumer electronics dominate the flat panel display market, contributing to over 35% of the total demand. Devices such as digital cameras, gaming consoles, and smart appliances are increasingly adopting high-definition flat panels to enhance user experience. The surge in smart home adoption further propels this segment.

Television (TVs)
The TV segment represents a significant portion of the market, accounting for nearly 30% of flat panel display usage. The shift towards Ultra HD and smart TVs is driving demand for larger, thinner, and more efficient displays. Rising consumer expectations for superior picture quality continue to fuel innovation in this category.

Mobile Phone
Mobile phones utilize flat panel displays extensively, making up approximately 20% of the market. The transition to OLED and AMOLED screens in smartphones supports growth, driven by demand for vivid visuals, energy efficiency, and touchscreen responsiveness.

Personal Computers
Flat panel displays in personal computers hold around 10% of the application share. Both laptops and desktop monitors are seeing upgrades with higher resolution panels, enabling better visual clarity for work, gaming, and multimedia tasks.

Automotive Applications
Automotive applications are an emerging area, accounting for nearly 3–5% of the market. Flat panel displays are integrated into infotainment systems, instrument clusters, and head-up displays (HUDs), supporting the trend towards smart, connected vehicles.

Other Applications
This category includes displays used in sectors like healthcare, education, and industrial equipment, collectively making up under 5% of the market. Their growing relevance is tied to the need for interactive displays and digital interfaces across diverse domains.
