IHS: wide colour gamut to be in 17% of display shipments in 2018

Wide colour gamut displays are expected to be present in 17% of the total area size of display shipments in 2018, according to IHS stats.

The research firm said that the shipment area of wide colour gamut (WCG) displays is expected to reach 32 million square meters in 2018 – including organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and quantum dot technologies.

“As competition in the display market intensifies, display and TV manufacturers are looking for new and emerging technologies to differentiate their offerings from competitors and to provide consumers with higher screen resolution. WCG technologies are therefore becoming more popular,” said Richard Son, senior analyst, IHS Technology.
