Japan-based Sharp Corp accounted for 8.2 per cent.
OLED displays are widely applied on major smartphones, including Samsung Electronics Co's Galaxy Note 8 and Apple Inc's iPhone X, due to their slim and flexible nature, which can be utilized for various designs.
Industry watchers said the growth was anticipated to continue down the road as Chinese brands were also planning to apply OLED displays on their devices.

The segment covers displays that are nine inches and smaller, and products used mostly for smartphones, tablet PCs and wearable devices.
