Flat panel displays are electronic display devices that boast flat screens, offering superior resolution, color accuracy, and image sharpness compared to traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) displays. They are known for their sleek, lightweight design and typically comprise a flat panel made of glass or plastic where images or videos are electronically displayed. These displays feature millions of tiny pixels that emit light when an electrical current passes through them, resulting in vivid images and colors.

The primary technologies used in flat panel displays include liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light emitting diode (OLED), light emitting diode (LED), and quantum dot. LCD technology utilizes liquid crystals sandwiched between two layers of glass or plastic to generate images or text. Flat panel displays come in various screen sizes ranging from small to medium and large, and find applications in diverse fields such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, digital signage, personal computers, laptops, vehicle displays, smart wearables, and more.North America was the largest region in the flat panel display market in 2025.
