The growth of displays for notebook PCs, monitors and tablets for the commercial and consumer segments slowed in 2022 and in the first half of 2023. All of the major brands reported a recovery during the second half of 2023 as a result improved brand and channel inventories, back-to-school seasonality, holidays seasonality and cautious commercial demand for AI performance for PCs. This presentation will summarize DSCC's latest results and outlook for the advanced IT display segment, highlighting the competitive landscape for advanced IT displays (OLED and MiniLED LCDs) and the key drivers that are expected to enable them to coexist, transform and fuel growth for the segment. Some of the key drivers include the expectation that Apple will introduce two new OLED tablets that utilize tandem OLED stacks to improve brightness, efficiency and prevent burn-in within the next few weeks, in addition to panel cost and price reductions, new G8.7 fab investments, new technologies, current/future brand positioning and improved display performance.
