"With strong growth in tablets, high-end notebooks and smartphones - especially high-resolution and wide-viewing angle displays - mobile devices are leading the growth of the flat-panel display sector," said David Hsieh, vice-president of NPD DisplaySearch.
Local display manufacturers, such as BOE Co Ltd, Visionox Co and Tianma Micro-electronics Co, are all looking to expand production capacity to meet demand.
China is the world's largest smartphone maker and consumer in terms of shipments.
Last year, more than 350 million new smartphones were shipped in China, about one-third of the global total, figures from IDC show. Local vendors such as Xiaomi Corp, Lenovo and TCL are quickly gaining market share by frequently unveiling new models, it said.
