In China, there is a growing demand for Samsung’s inflexible AMOLED smartphone screens

The price of AMOLED panels has reportedly increased in China due to the high demand for flexible panels for high-end smartphones. As a result, manufacturers of low-cost smartphones are now using more rigid AMOLED panels.

According to the report, Samsung Display is reportedly experiencing a surge in sales of its rigid AMOLED panels to Chinese smartphone manufacturers, primarily Xiaomi, OPPO, and Vivo. Samsung’s rigid AMOLED screens are taking the place of LCD screens in these smartphone manufacturers’ designs because the price difference is currently negligible.

Two other Chinese manufacturers of rigid AMOLEDs are Everdisplay and Visionox. However, Samsung dominates this market segment and can produce high-end displays in large quantities for comparatively low prices.

It’s an intriguing development that analysts previously predicted that as flexible OLEDs offer numerous advantages over rigid AMOLEDs—including, of course, reduced weight and thickness and flexibility—the market for rigid AMOLEDs would contract. previously revealed that Samsung Electronics is progressively incorporating stiff AMOLED screens into its entry-level smartphones.

It is predicted that this year, OLED smartphone displays will account for more than 50% of the market. This will mark the first time that AMOLED, after years of LCD dominance, will overtake OLED as the most popular smartphone display technology.
