This page is dedicated to describing the screen market, particularly the most prevalent screen technologies. This information is mainly based on market reports and complemented by scientific literature. .

There are many screen technologies: liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light emitting diode (OLED), e-paper, cathode ray tube, plasma, etc. It appears that nowadays LCD and OLED technologies are the most prevalent technologies. ^{1) 2) 3) 4)}.

Within LCD screens, it seems that IPS (in-plane switching) and TN (twisted nematic) are the most common types of polarization ^{5) 6)}. Also, for LCD smartphones, the LTPS transistor technology seems to me prevalent ^{7) 8)}.

## market by display size

The overall market is dominated by small panels (below 10 inches) ⁹⁾ and large displays are less important.

• For LCD and LCD-IPS, large screens seem to be predominant (above 40 inches) ¹⁰⁾.
• For the OLED ones, it seems to be smaller panels. (up to 20 inches) ¹¹⁾.

It appears that flat panel displays are prevalent ^{12) 13) 14)} even though flexible panels and transparent panel seems to occupy a non-negligible share of the market.

HD and Ultra-HD devices seems to dominate the market. ^{15) 16)}.

Here are the identified applications of screens:

• smartphones & tablets
• PC & laptops
• television and digital signage
• vehicle display
• smart wearables

For all screen technologies, it appears that TVs & digital signage, and smartphone & tablets are the most common applications ¹⁷⁾ .

TVs & digital signage seem the most common LCD screens ¹⁸⁾. It seems a bit unclear if there is another prevalent application, especially if laptops & monitors or if TV & phone occupy a significant share or not .

The share of market is quite divided between all screen applications ¹⁹⁾.

It seems like the consumer electronics market is predominant. ²⁰⁾. Healthcare and retail seem to be also important ²¹⁾.
