The demand for large-size display driver ICs in 2023 is set to increase seasonally with panel demand. However, due to conservative stockpiling by the supply chain, a potential shortage could surface in the latter half of 2023. The issue of smartphone TDDI (Touch and Display Driver Integration) inventory is predicted to ease in 2023, with production largely shifting to Chinese wafer fabs. Over time, IC manufacturers are expected to expand the application of TDDI into medium-sized panels, such as those for tablets and automotive displays. After a brief supply crunch, AMOLED driver ICs will likely face an excess supply in 2023 due to falling demand and rising supply. A key factor to observe will be whether the upcoming 28nm production capacity can sufficiently meet market demand.
