Displays have come a long way since the last century, from enormous screen sizes that only showcased pictures to small screens that interact with users. The functionalities of displays have evolved considerably, and recent technological advancements are driving innovation at a massive speed.
While older displays needed big circuits to support them in displaying pictures and videos, more recent displays have become flatter and curvier than before, saving space and enhancing the experience. Displays have now become touchscreen gadgets to allow users to quickly perform tasks.
It’s evident displays are getting smarter, and the smart display revolution is underway. This article provides a comprehensive look at the smart displays market, including recent product innovations, key applications, forecasts, and more.
