Research and Markets has added a new report, Transparent Conductor Markets in the OLED Industry 2011 and Beyond, to its offering.
According to this report, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) will be one of the rapidly-growing markets for transparent conductors. The reason is that, since OLEDs applications are being restricted to small passive matrix (PM) displays, the technology is now expanding its application from lighting to mobile main displays, which is now an entirely commercialized application.
This report examines and explores each type of competing transparent conductors being related to OLED displays and OLED lighting. It also analyzes OLED display and lighting markets to spot out the specific needs of each form of OLED devices with respect to transparent conductors. The report reveals which form of OLED products will further utilize ITO, and which product will shift to use substitute transparent conductors. The report also analyzes manufacturing trends that include roll-to-roll printing and processing. It also adds an eight year forecasting information about markets of transparent conductor used for OLED display and lighting applications. Over all, this report analyzes the new market for transparent conductors industry through the OLED market.
The report reveals that the large active matrix (AM) OLED televisions will be priced competitively with LCD displays. Transparent conductor firms must change their product line to meet the requirements of the OLED display industry. Also, ITO is chemically not suitable for OLED use. However, the initiation of OLED lighting conveys a considerable expansion of the transparent conductors markets, those which have not been vended earlier in huge quantities in the lighting market.
