Analysis of the expanding COF market for OLED/smartphones, including an analysis of new Chinese manufacturers entering the market.
In 2018, the COF market showed significant growth. The demand for large LCDs remained steady, and new applications for OLEDs and smartphones became more prominent. In particular, the smartphone sector experienced rapid expansion, increasing the demand for single-sided COF. Traditionally, 2-metal COF was used for flexible OLEDs, but starting in 2018, the demand for single-sided COF surged in full-screen smartphones. The demand is also expanding in LTPS and rigid OLEDs, leading to a more widespread adoption of COF in the smartphone sector. For OLEDs, the aforementioned flexible and rigid OLEDs are becoming more established. Additionally, the demand for OLED TVs is also growing, and it is expected to form a significant demand in a few years. The COF market had experienced stagnation over the past few years, but these new applications are poised to revive it as a growth market once again.
