Universal Display Citi’s 2025 Global Technology, Media and Telecommunications Conference summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.OLED market trends and outlook
OLED market performance in 2024 is tracking in line with expectations, with strong first-half results driven by tariff-related purchasing and a full-year revenue guidance midpoint of $675 million.
IT market (tablets, laptops, monitors) is expected to see the highest growth due to low current penetration and upcoming OEM product launches.
Major investments in Gen 8.6 OLED fabs by Samsung Display, BOE, and Visionox, totaling $20 billion, are set to expand IT market capacity from 2025 onward.
Foldable smartphones present incremental demand due to larger display areas and are expected to drive replacement cycles.
Automotive OLED adoption is gaining momentum, especially in EVs, with less than 1 million out of 85 million annual vehicles currently using OLEDs.
Blue phosphorescent technology progress
Blue phosphorescent materials offer up to 25% energy efficiency improvement over fluorescent alternatives, with LG Display achieving a key milestone by incorporating it into a commercial device using a hybrid tandem structure.
Lifetime and stability remain challenges for blue phosphorescent, but recent improvements enabled commercial validation by LG Display.
Multiple major customers are developing blue phosphorescent, with pricing expected to be at a premium but not a barrier to adoption.
Licensing for blue phosphorescent is covered under most portfolio agreements, with Samsung as a notable exception requiring future negotiation.
Manufacturing, supply chain, and competitive landscape
Manufacturing is split between PPG-operated U.S. sites and a company-owned, PPG-operated site in Ireland, which has been critical for navigating trade issues and supporting volume growth.
The company is expanding support in China, including a new facility in Chengdu, to address local competition and maintain customer relationships.
Competitive pressure from Chinese domestic suppliers is being managed through IP strength, R&D, and local customer support.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
