Despite its impressive performance compared to its rivals, Samsung posted a flat annual growth rate for 2016 as it had to deal with shortages for mid-size panels through the year. Samsung's shipments were particularly affected by the earthquake in southern Taiwan in February last year which caused supply shortages.
