TrendForce's latest AMOLED technology and market report reveals that Apple plans to gradually adopt OLED panels capable of achieving 95% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut across future MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iMac product lines.
TCL CSOT is aggressively promoting inkjet-printed OLED (IJP OLED) technology as a means of entering the OLED monitor and notebook panel supply chain, according to TrendForce’s findings. Its Gen 5.5 IJP OLED production line has already reached volume production and successfully commercialized medical display panels, while validation programs for branded monitor and notebook products are currently underway. The company’s progress could potentially challenge the long-standing dominance of Korean panel makers in the OLED industry.
The rapid growth of demand for AI semiconductors is driving the evolution of advanced packaging technologies, with Fan-Out Panel-Level Packaging (FOPLP) emerging as a new battleground across the industry. TrendForce reports that TSMC is currently focusing on its Chip-on-Panel-on-Substrate (CoPoS) packaging architecture and has standardized on a 310 × 310 mm panel format.
According to the latest research by global market intelligence firm TrendForce, the OLED monitor market entered a seasonal downturn in 1Q26. Moreover, strong promotional campaigns in 4Q25 had already pulled forward demand. Consequently, global OLED monitor shipments dropped by 11% QoQ in 1Q26. However, from a YoY perspective, 1Q26 shipments actually soared by 78%. The key growth driver was the increasingly abundant supply of QD-OLED panels, which enabled new market entrants to ramp up volumes and effectively fill gaps in the market.
TrendForce’s latest research on the display industry reveals that the foldable smartphone market is expected to see Apple enter as early as the second half of 2026, drawing significant attention to related technological advancements.
