OLED-info.com is quoting iSuppli on some news regarding a potential boom of OLED screens in mobile devices…
Apparently iSuppli says that OLED displays for mobile devices are going to rise from 22m to 178m units, between 2009-2015 – that’s quite a growth! However, in a contrasting statement, OLEDs will still only account for 6% of the market in 2013.
If you are wondering what the average OLED screen costs, well apparently the 2.6″ OLED in the N86 cost $7.05 – whereas the equivalent LCD would have cost $6.50. That said, shaving even cents off the BoM (bill of materials) for a device is important when you are shipping millions of units – so perhaps there’s room for that delta to come down slightly, and add another catalyst to this potential sales growth we are expecting.

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
