According to the recently published “2024 Global LED Market Share Rankings” by market research firm Omdia, Seoul Semiconductor was the only company among the global top three to sustain both revenue and market share, while industry leaders Nichia and ams OSRAM experienced significant revenue declines amid the market slowdown.

This achievement is underpinned by Seoul Semiconductor’s robust technological competitiveness, driven by its commitment to innovation even amidst global economic uncertainty. The company has consistently invested over 10% of its annual revenue in R&D, resulting in a portfolio of more than 18,000 patents worldwide.

In particular, Seoul Semiconductor has secured a differentiated edge with its proprietary "No-wire" technology, a core component of Micro LED displays. The company further solidified its leadership in this area by winning a patent litigation at the Unified Patent Court (UPC) in Europe, reinforcing the strength and exclusivity of its No-wire technology in the next-generation display market.

According to Omdia, the Micro LED segment is emerging as a key frontier in next-generation display technology and is expected to grow into a market worth approximately USD 80 billion by 2040.
