LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AMOLED display shipments for smartphones continued to rise in 2024, surpassing TFT LCD shipments and driven by strong demand for flexible AMOLEDs, according to Omdia’s latest OLED Display Market Tracker.

As result, AMOLED display shipments surpassed TFT LCD shipments for the first time, accounting for 51% of total smartphone display shipments in 2024.

Since the second half of 2022, Chinese display makers have significantly reduced the prices of flexible AMOLED panels. since This has led to major smartphone OEMs to upgrade mid-range smartphone screens, which traditionally use rigid AMLED and LTPS TFT LCD panels, to flexible AMOLEDs. This display replacement trend has continued in 2024, driving flexible AMOLED’s market share up from 28% of the total smartphone display market in 2022 to 40% in 2024.

Instead, they focused on the premium segment supplyin Apple and Samsung which offer more stable demand and higher-margin products.
