Global shipments of flexible-screen smartphones increased by 18% in the preceding quarter, driven by yield improvements in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) manufacturing. The reduction in scrap rates has allowed original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to lower retail price points.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Display foundries report ultra-thin glass yields rising above 85%, down significantly from historic failure rates that previously inflated bill-of-materials costs. This efficiency has enabled device makers to introduce foldable models into mid-tier price segments.
Enterprise Adoption
Corporate procurement of dual-screen mobile devices rose sharply, with financial services and logistics firms utilizing the multi-window interface for field workforce operations.
