DisplaySearch indicated in its latest Quarterly OLED Shipment and Forecast Report that OLED shipments grew to 16.7M and revenues hit $130.9M in Q3'05. OLED shipments increased 144% Y/Y due to 35% growth in MP3 player sales, and 93% growth in industrial displays. All of the growth is in PMOLEDs using small molecule material; AMOLED producers-Sanyo Kodak, AUO and Sony-shipped less than 50K displays in Q3/05. P-OLED material panel producers continued to struggle with less than a 3% share of total shipments.
Samsung SDI led in units and revenue in Q3'05 with slightly over 4.4M displays and $37.1M in revenue. RiTdisplay was #2 in both shipments and revenue. TDK experienced the strongest growth of the top five, with shipments up 138% Q/Q to 1.2M and revenue up 81% Q/Q to $7.6M.
