Group 1 - The overall performance of the mobile phone market is expected to be weak in February 2026 due to the impact of the Spring Festival holiday and the traditional off-season [1] - Upstream memory prices continue to rise significantly, increasing the BOM costs for finished devices, leading terminal brands to lower shipment targets to control costs [1] - The mobile phone panel market remains sluggish, with all types of mobile phone panel prices facing varying degrees of downward pressure [1] Group 2 - In February, demand for a-Si panels has significantly shrunk, but leading manufacturers have maintained high production line utilization by increasing shipments to the South China market [2] - Despite the pressure from rising prices of raw materials like copper and silver, a-Si cell prices may start to loosen as the long-term downward trend in module prices becomes unsustainable [2] - For LTPS panels, although there is some demand support from non-mobile applications, overall demand is contracting due to rising memory prices, leading to slight price loosening for smartphone LTPS panels [2] Group 3 - Rigid AMOLED panel prices are beginning to soften as major manufacturers like Samsung Display lower prices to secure new projects [2] - Flexible AMOLED panels face greater challenges as terminal brands significantly reduce procurement volumes due to inventory adjustments and cost control, leading to intense price competition among panel manufacturers [2] - CINNO Research predicts that prices for a-Si modules and LTPS panels will continue to decline in February and March 2026, with flexible AMOLED panel prices also expected to remain on a downward trend [2]

Core Viewpoint - The mobile display panel market is entering a traditional off-season in January 2026, with upstream storage prices rising for several months, leading terminal brands to reduce shipment targets to manage operational risks, resulting in a significant decline in overall demand for mobile panels [4]. Group 1: Market Overview - The overall demand for mobile panels is weakening due to insufficient terminal pull, causing upstream panel manufacturers to face pressure on utilization rates and further exacerbating price decline [4]. - The a-Si panel market is experiencing a significant reduction in order visibility due to the contraction in overall terminal demand, coupled with the release of new production lines, leading to increased supply pressure and intensified competition [4]. - The LTPS panel segment, while still supported by demand in non-mobile applications like automotive displays and laptops, is facing pressure in specific areas such as laptops and tablets, leading to an overall contraction in LTPS panel demand [4]. Group 2: Price Trends - The prices of a-Si modules and LTPS panels are expected to continue their downward trend in January and February 2026, with flexible AMOLED panel prices also anticipated to remain in a declining channel [5]. - The price for 6.5" LCD panels (HD+) is projected to decrease from $6.4 to $6.3, while 6.5" FHD+ LCD LTPS panels are expected to drop from $9.3 to $9.2, indicating a general trend of price reduction across various panel types [3].
