OLED is a light-emitting diode in which the organic layer emits visible light in response to a current. While the LED is based on the p-n diode structure, the OLED has a mechanism through which the p-n region is made by changing the conductivity of the host semiconductor.
The market is driven by the cutting-edge technologies and significant investments for research by many companies across the world necessitated by the increasing sale of smartphones, LEDs, digital displays and with the rise in the setting up of wireless technology devices around the world
A lot of companies have invested and facilitated research on OLEDs which have pushed the OLED material markets to grow. Cutting-edge technologies have also enabled companies to research and innovate which have provided an impetus to the OLED materials market. Rapid adoption of OLED displays in smartphones, high demand for better viewing experience from smartphone and television consumers and increased demand for active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays in fields like Augmented reality and Virtual reality (AR/VR) has driven the market’s growth.
For example, in 2018, Samsung showed of their research roadmap at their 2018 Samsung OLED Forum which included Fingerprint on Display, Under Panel Sensor, Haptic on Display and Sound on Display, all of which were innovations in OLEDs. In 2019, Novaled Company opened a new headquarter with research and development centre for cutting-edge OLED technology in Dresden, Germany. In 2020, researchers at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) proposed using human hair which is a source of carbon and nitrogen to create OLED displays which would drastically reduce the cost of manufacturing OLEDs.
High production cost, high wastage and low yield, short lifespan and deteriorating colours have caused problems and prove to be a hindrance to the growth of the market
The high production cost of manufacturing OLEDs has been the biggest hindrance to growth of market as high price makes it unappealing to the manufacturers and thus not all devices adopt it as it would lead to increase in the price of the device and hence make it less affordable.
Another problem is the low yield and high wastage of OLED production. Even though the yield rate has increased to 65% to 80%, but still, it is much less than the optimum value and hence causes unwanted burden to the manufacturers and wastage of money.
The lifespan of an OLED display is also one of the major concerns. The organic molecules degrade sooner than the inorganic molecules. Hence OLEDs wear out much faster than the traditional LEDs and LCDs.
The OLEDs are made up of three colour pixels- red, green and blue. The red and green sub-pixels have a longer lifetime as compared to the blue one. Hence, the device loses the uniformity in colour production across the panel.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
OLED materials play an important role in various sectors such as automotive, industrials, commercials and others. Many production factories of these sectors have been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic which in turn has had an adverse effect on the demand and supply chain of OLED materials. Many OLED manufacturers cut their production by a significant amount and subsequently there was very low supply for OLEDs which adversely affected the market. The manufacturing process and the supply chain management were also disrupted due to the pandemic. For instance, in 2020, the OLED TV market faced the dual headwinds of hindered panel supply and high retail prices, according to WitsView. Aside from the pandemic induced slowdown in OLED demand, the more flexible pricing of QLED products, which is an alternative to the OLED products, represented substantial threat to the global OLED materials market. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, LG Display's move to expand its OLED production suffered since the company's plan to ramp up its Guangzhou faced delays.
The global OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) Materials Market is segmented on type, voltage capacity, application, end-user, and region.
In terms of type, the global OLED materials market is bifurcated into Substrates, Hole Transport Layer (HTL), Electron Transport Layer (ETL), Hole Injection Layer (HIL), Encapsulation, Emissive Layer (EML), Anode and Cathode
The substrate segment had the highest market share in 2019 due to low-cost availability and rising use of electronic device like smartphones, televisions, etc. Substrates act as a base for OLED. As of June 2021, Samsung is working on stretchable OLED display for wearable. Samsung’s OLED stretchable skin prototype can be stretched to an elongation of up to 30 per cent without performance degradation. This will have a positive impact on the growth of the substrate segment as new technological breakthrough will attract attention and signal a new opportunity for the companies to grow. As the demand for smartphones and televisions are ever increasing, the substrate segment is poised to grow even further and have high market share.
Similarly, Encapsulation, Anode, Hole Injection Layer (HIL), Hole Transport Layer (HTL), Electron Transport Layer (ETL), Emissive Layer (EML) and Cathode segments are also increasing at a very fast pace due to growth in launching of digital displays for manufacturing of LED televisions, smartphones, digital wearables, etc. For instance, in 2020, Samsung Company had launched its QT67 series QLED TV models in South Korea with first-class energy efficiency.
