Electronic Displays are display units that have the capability to convert electrical signals into visual images. These images are changed in real-time by refreshing the memory, when new information in the form of electrical signals is received.

Electronic Displays are replacing the traditional mechanical device displays (like galvanometers, counters and even paper). Further, with technical developments in the field of electronics, digital watches, calculators, and computers, the usage of electronic displays have increased and replaced mechanical devices. The major factors for the rapid adoption of electronic display devices include low price, no maintenance and re-usability for a wide variety of display applications.

Electronic Displays have been in the market for long. The market had started with display technologies like CRTs, which have now been replaced by a host of technologies. At present, companies like Bridgestone are entering the market with new display technologies, while the Asian region has become the manufacturing hub, owing to lower manufacturing costs.

At present, Electronic Displays are being integrated into every possible application requiring a display. The growing number of mobile phones, televisions and computing devices have driven the Electronic Display market. These displays are being put up in retail shops to showcase the prices of watches, automobiles, and consumer appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners. Further, toys and dresses are being developed with Electronic Displays integrated within them. Moreover, Flexible display devices like eReaders have been developed, like the Readius from Polymer Vision. In the near future, these devices will be followed by flexible displays and 3-dimensional display devices, which will further drive the market. Thus, increasing usage and adoption by various sectors has driven the sales of Electronic Displays in the global market.

Electronic Displays have been used in applications like television sets, mobile phones, display boards etc. With the rise in information age, the need for information at every juncture of life has made the display devices an integral part of the society. Thus, Display's with advertisements, new offers, temperature, arrival and departure timings at airports and railway stations have now become a necessity. Further, Interactive Electronic touchscreen Displays are deployed in ATMs, token dispensers and kiosks at airports, railway stations, ports etc. These have replaced customer care executives, thus, saving costs for enterprises. Further, these displays have been integrated into automobiles, where they provide details about the car and the environment and are used as display units for GPS and music systems.
