IHS says that 2015 will be a "banner year" for AMOLED as more and more display makers are adopting the new screen type in their high-end smartphones. In fact, IHS says that "The simpler structure and better picture performance of AMOLED screens may even encourage Apple to consider adopting the technology in the future".

IHS estimates that AMOLED display revenues reached $3.29 billion in Q3 2015 and the AMOLED displays accounts for 18% of the total mobile phone display market.
