IHS: every third mobile phone in 2021 will sport an OLED display (up from 13% in 2015)

IHS says that the OLED display penetration rate in mobile phones will grow from 13% in 2015 to 34% in 2021, mostly due to the adoption of OLEDs by China-based phone makers. For some reason IHS does not mention Apple - but if OLEDs start to appear in iPhone models, it will have a drastic effect on OLED penetration.

IHS says that following the success of OLEDs, the market for LED BLUs in mobile phones will start declining - at about 2.6% per year in the same period.

According to TrendForce published a similar forecast that is more optimistic - OLED smartphone penetration will reach 20% by the end of 2016 and 40% in 2019.
