Biannual Display Glass Report

Report Summary

This report tracks glass capacity and shipments for all major glass makers across all LCD and OLED display fabs. The report combines DSCC’s comprehensive insight into industry capacity and utilization with in-depth understanding of display glass and the supply chain.


Glass substrates form the starting point for production of all flat-panel displays, and glass supply is critical to the display industry. Even for flexible and foldable OLED displays, glass substrates are used as carriers for a polyimide layer for the display, because of the superior thermal stability characteristics of this versatile material.
