CES 2019: Flexible Display and Flexible Touch

I just returned from CES 2019 at Las Vegas. It’s my honor to meet some of you in person. CES is the conference where many consumer electronic brands show case their most advanced technologies and the conference that set the trends for the near future.

At CES 2019, competition between manufacturers of flexible/foldable AMOLED display devices is heating up.

At CES 2019, Royole demonstrated the FlexPai. It features a 7.8” foldable AMOLED display with 1920×1440 pixel format, 308 ppi resolution. I had a hand on with the device and bend it. The device can only be bent backwards away from the display. When I tried to bend it inward, the mechanical structure would forbidden it, which can protect their flexible AMOLED. The device is actually light weight.

Royole took the 7.8” flexible AMOLED and used it into several other applications: a hat with the display, a T-shirt with the display, and even a purse with the display on it. The battery is hidden in the hat, or the purse. The hat and T-shirt are available for $899 each. The purse is a prototype and they hope a famous brand will adopt the technology.

In the Flexible Display and Flexible Touch 2018 Report, 3rd edition, Touch Display Research analyzed over 270 companies working on flexible display and flexible touch screens. Touch Display Research forecasted flexible, curved and foldable display will have over $75 billion revenue, which will be about 36% market share in 2027.

What is TCL’s new strategy for 2019? What is Samsung’s new strategy for 2019?

Which other startup companies are showing promising new technologies?

All these are covered in the recently published Touch and Emerging Display monthly report: CES 2019 special report.

CES 2019: Micro LED and mini LED made big splash

I just returned from CES 2019 at Las Vegas. It’s my honor to meet some of you in person. CES is the conference where many consumer electronic brands show case their most advanced technologies and the conference that set the trends for the near future. At CES 2019, Micro LED and mii LED made big splash.

At CES 2019, Touch Display Research was invited and visited Plessey’s booth at the South Hall of Las Vegas Convention Center.  We met with Plessey’s President of corporate and business development, Mr. Mike Lee. Mr. Lee showed Touch Display Research their blue micro LED microdisplay, which is 0.7 inch with 1080p resolution.

As we know, Plessey’s manufacturing method is one of the 15 methods we covered in the Micro & Mini LED 2018 Report. Plessey claims their repeatable GaN-on-Silicon monolithic process method has high yield, good wavelength uniformity, and is scalable and economical.

Which new companies are showing micro LED at CES 2019?

CES 2019: OLED, Quantum Dot, Micro LED, Sensors Plus AI

Jan 9th, 2019, by Jennifer Colegrove, Ph.D., CEO and Principal Analyst, Touch Display Research

I’m at CES 2019 in Las Vegas. The weather is nice this year (not like last year’s rain at CES), cloudy and cool.

As an industry analyst, the Monday’s press conference is a MUST for me to attend every year. This Monday I attended the press conference of TCL, Toyota, Samsung, Intel, and Taiwan Excellence. I also attended the Showstopper Launchit event.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, I visited and talked to many companies at CES.

This year’s CES continued several trends from last year, and brought them up to a new level. The CES 2019 key trends include: OLED, Quantum Dot, Micro LED, Sensors Plus AI (Artificial Intelligence), etc.

In the Quantum Dot Market 2018 report, 5th edition, Touch Display Research forecasts the global quantum dot market will reach $16.6 billion by 2028.  What is the new quantum dot progress at CES 2019?

In the Micro LED 2018 to 2028 Report, all the methods to fabricate micro and mini LED displays along with their supply chains are analyzed and put into 15 method categories. Which new companies are showing micro LED at CES 2019?

What is TCL’s new strategy for 2019? What is Samsung’s new strategy for 2019?

Which startup companies are showing promising new technologies?

All these will be covered in the upcoming Touch and Emerging Display monthly report, CES 2019 special report next week.
