BOE’s OLED panel shipments accounted for more than 11% of the world’s total shipment, ranking second only to Samsung whose shipments accounted for 81%. Chinese manufacturing giant, Huawei, has been the major customer of BOE’s flexible OLED. Huawei Mate X, Mate 20 Pro, and Huawei P30 Pro all use BOE’s OLED display. This has greatly increased the market share of BOE. The mass production of Chinese flexible OLED screens has helped the mobile phone market to further popularize flexible OLED screens. It is believed that with the preponderance of Chinese companies in the OLED business, the price of OLED displays will be friendly in a few years.
However, most phone manufacturers are concerned with the quality of the display produced by Chinese display manufacturers like BOE. Nevertheless, with the likes of Huawei already using this display, it wouldn’t take long for other OEMs to join.
