RAMless OLED prices expected to drop in 2Q23 due to China OEM’s low adoption.
May 19, 2023
Key Takeaways:
- Isaiah Research suggests that Nova's RAMless OLED Average Selling Price (ASP) may decline to the range of $3.3 to $3.5 in 2Q23. Insights from supply chain checks indicate a decrease from the 1Q23 ASP range of $3.4 to $3.6.
- The primary reason for this price adjustment is believed to be the slower-than-expected pace at which China OEMs are embracing RAMless OLED Display Driver IC (DDI) technology due to the prevailing weakness in global smartphone demand.
- Notably, Xiaomi's RAMless OLED DDI preparation for Y2023 is expected to be impacted by panel inventory digestion issues encountered in the previous year. The visibility of potential adoption from other vendors like Honor, Huawei, Transsion, and Moto is also considered relatively low.
