Japan Display Market Segmentation Coverage

• Based on display type, the market has been segmented into flat panel, flexible panel, and transparent panel displays. Flat panels are thin, flat screens used in most modern TVS monitors, while a flexible panel can be curved or bent, owing to its pliable material. The transparent panel allows light to pass through the display, making it partially visible.
• Based on technology, the market has been categorized into OLED, quantum dot, LED, LCD, E-paper, and others. OLED displays emit their own light using organic materials, resulting in deep blacks. In contrast, quantum dot technology utilizes tiny semiconductor nanocrystals ("quantum dots") to produce precise and pure colors by radiating specific wavelengths of light. LED displays use various semiconductor diodes to create images. At the same time, LCD is a flat panel display technology where liquid crystals are worked by an electric field to control the passage of light. E-paper displays are designed to mimic the appearance of traditional paper, using microcapsules or electrophoretic technology to render text and images.
• Based on application, the market has been divided into smartphone and tablet, smart wearable, television and digital signage, PC and laptop, vehicle display, and others. Displays in a smartphone and tablet are utilized for viewing photos and videos, browsing the internet, checking emails, texting, etc. In smart wearables displays are used for displaying time, notifications, and health data, including heart rate, steps, calories burned, etc. Television and digital signage employ displays for watching movies, TV shows, live broadcasts, exhibiting advertisements, providing information in public spaces, etc. In PCs and laptops, displays are utilized for working with documents, browsing the web, running applications, etc. Lastly, vehicle displays are adopted for navigation instructions, displaying vehicle information, parking assistance visuals, etc.
• Based on the industry vertical, the market has been separated into BFSI, retail, healthcare, consumer electronics, military and defense, automotive, and others. In BFSI, displays are employed for ATM screens, digital signage in banks, trading platforms, etc. Stores, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, and interactive displays are utilized in the retail sector. The healthcare industry uses displays for patient monitoring systems. In consumer electronics, displays are put in smartphones and tablets, desktops and laptops, television, etc. In the military and defense sector, displays are utilized in aircraft cockpits, command and control centers, etc. Moreover, the automotive industry uses displays in navigation, music, vehicle settings, speedometer, fuel gauge, etc.
