New Touch-Sensing Tech Leads to Larger, Thinner, and Foldable Displays (Download)
As demand for larger, thinner, and more responsive touchscreens intensifies, so does the complexity of engineering them. Designers of smartphones, tablets, automotive displays, and industrial control interfaces face a paradox: Users expect increasingly sophisticated touch performance — even in harsh electromagnetic environments — while mechanical designs push the physical limits of thinness and integration.
Those pressures are intensifying with the rise of thinner, larger panels in the latest wave of foldable devices. The category is expanding fast: The foldable-display market is projected to surge from $8.9 billion in 2025 to $76.1 billion by 2035, growing at a 24% average annual rate over the decade, according to Future Market Insights. More advanced OLED screens built on low-temperature polycrystalline-oxide (LTPO) backplanes are also trending up, with a projected compound annual growth rate of 14.5%.
