Disruptive Innovations and Innovation Ecosystems in the Display Industry
Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to review business and innovation ecosystems in display industry and to analyze the disruptive elements in display industry since 1960 from the initial inventions of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology. The paper contributes our understanding of disruptive technologies through display industry case study and proposes the extension to Christensen’s theory on disruptive innovation. The ecosystem literature makes basis for the framework of the study. Liquid Crystal Display technology (LCD) combined with Thin Film Transistor (TFT) technology was able to bring solutions to many market needs and was also enabling to generate new markets in the form of notebooks. The disruptive elements of TFT LCD and Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) are reviewed. The main conclusion from comparison of Christensen’s definition on disruptive technologies and case study from display industry is that disruptive technology can come from more costly High-end side as well.
