The market is shifting to active matrix OLED

I read this interesting article about the current shift in the OLED market for mobile phones from DisplaySearch. According to the article, a shift to active matrix OLED displays on mobile phones are now being shipped more than the passive matrix OLEDs. The trend will continue and is expected to grow to $5.5 billion by 2015 compared to just $0.6 billion in 2008.

If this continues, we will soon be seeing connected phones as a norm rather than as a high end device soon. The thought of everyone having a permanently connected phone is exciting for the world market as we see more applications for mobile phones evolve — especially location based applications and games.
