According to the Q2 2007 Quarterly Mobile Phone Shipment & Forecast Report by DisplaySearch, Q1 2007 shipments of 268.8 million main displays and 58.6 million sub-displays marked a combined decline of 10% Q/Q and 2% Y/Y.
While the Q/Q decrease in shipments is largely due to seasonality, the decline of 2% Y/Y is the first time that there has ever been a decline Y/Y and is representative of an overall decrease in the growth rate of the mobile phone market.
Sharp is still the No.1 in terms of unit shipment and revenue. Samsung SDI ranked second, followed by Epson Imaging Devices, Wintek and TPO. Revenue for mobile phone displays is forecasts to be flat in Q2 2007 as shipments should climb by 2% due to seasonality and ASPs continue to be modest declines.
By technology, a-Si TFT LCD continues to dominate the market, and no change in the top technologies over the next two quarters is expected with LTPS staying at No.2, CSTN at No.3 and MSTN at No.4. Although EPDs have only been shipping for two quarters, and only to Motorola, they have already passed OLED in shipment market share, with 0.8% vs 0.3%.
