## market by display size

The overall market is dominated by **small panels** (below 10 inches)
[([[https://www.snsinsider.com/reports/display-technology-market-2946| Display Technology Market]], Rohan Jadhav, 2023)] 
and large displays are less important. 

  * For LCD and LCD-IPS, large screens seem to be predominant (above 40 inches)
[(AG2026>[[https://www.marketresearchfuture.com/reports/ips-display-market-8706| IPS Display Market]], Ankit Gupta, 2026)].
  * For the OLED ones, it seems to be smaller panels. (up to 20 inches)
