Diversification in Display Technologies and Underlying Reduced Capital Intensity Encourages Positive Results in the Display Supply Chain

There are a number of new technologies and methodologies currently under development that are aimed at “upgrading” the current display technologies (like in TV application), while others are aimed at increasing penetration into new application like in Autos (particularly Electric Vehicles) and commercial buildings. There is now even companies focused on commercializing a transparent display technologies. Such an inflection point in the adoption of new technologies and methodologies are all encouraging, and thus helping to raise the profile of “Display” sector. But, what is more encouraging is the prospects of the reduced capital intensity, that could potentially help with better economics throughout the display supply chain.
