Small-sized automotive AMOLED shipments to reach 1.5 million units by 2030, growing 541% – Omdia – June 26, 2026.
Small-sized automotive AMOLED display shipments (under 5 inches) are expected to reach 1.5 million units by 2030, growing 541% versus 2025, according to new research from Omdia. As vehicle electronic architectures evolve, traditional small control screens are being gradually replaced by centralized large displays, while demand for small-sized screens is shifting toward emotional value, intelligent interaction, and differentiated cockpit aesthetics.
Automotive AMOLED Display Market Fueled By Demand For Smart Cockpit Screens

Technologically, these emerging small displays are predominantly adopting AMOLED, driven by requirements for high PPI, fast response, high contrast, and true black performance to support animated UI, AI expressions, and detailed graphics. Low power consumption for always-on functions and thinner, more flexible form factors are also becoming critical, making AMOLED the preferred solution for small-sized in-cabin interaction systems like Intelligent Assistants screen.
At the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, Chinese NEV brand AITO unveiled the updated AITO M9, introducing a new “Star Ring Island” cockpit module. The system upgrades the previous center dashboard acoustic component into a screen-integrated structure, embedding a 1.73-inch AMOLED display supplied by Visionox. With a mechanical flip design, it can switch into a circular interface supporting dynamic content such as AI assistant visuals, digital pets, and interactive watch-style themes, marking a potential mass production milestone for Visionox in automotive displays.
Beyond the AITO M9, other notable applications expanding small-screen OLED adoption include:
NIO NOMI: Features a 2.18-inch OLED system
AUDI EV: The brand jointly developed by Audi and SAIC Motor utilizes a 4.3-inch curved OLED AI display.
AMG Performance Steering Wheel: Features a dual 0.98-inch OLED, further expanding small-screen applications in performance-oriented cockpits.
How Supply Chain Dynamics Are Driving OLED Market Share
“From a supply chain perspective, automotive OLED volumes remain limited and Gen 6 fabs are less efficient for small-sized cutting, giving Gen 5.5 and pilot lines a relative advantage,” said Wray Wang, Senior Analyst at Omdia. “Korean panel makers tend to focus on larger or higher-utilization products, while Chinese suppliers are increasingly leveraging small-sized automotive OLED projects to expand share and deepen OEM cooperation.”
