Set micro-network to launch integrated circuit micro-letter public number: ' Every day IC ', major news immediately released, every day IC, every day set micro-net, product micro-Cheng! Replication Laoyaoic Micro Letter public number search adds attention.
1. Samsung Micro LED TV next year CES debut;
Set of micro-network news, Apple active layout micro LED screen, has also been the issue of the problem with TSMC, and Samsung also do not fall behind, outgoing plans to next January in the United States Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Exhibition (CES), published a micro LED TV.
ZDNet 24th reported that Samsung's micro LED TV, the screen will reach 150 inches, will be formally listed later next year, aimed at the home theater market.
To make a reduced version of the LED, the difficulty is quite high. Micro LED screen using LED, the size of less than 100 microns, each LED chip can be used as a paint element, the advantage is low power consumption, there will be no OLED residual (burn-in) problems. The use of plastic substrates will be flexible. Smartphones need even more tiny led chips, so applications have to wait a little longer.
Samsung spokeswoman declined to comment. Sony had first demonstrated a 55-inch micro LED TV and a variety of prototypes in 2012, but it has not yet been commercialized.
The research report released September 4 by the Japanese Folk investigative agency, the Institute of Vector and Wild economics, said the 2017 global micro led market was estimated at $7 million, though small, with Sony sale using the micro LED High quality Panel technology "cledis" display system. "Form the market".
In addition to Sony, the company also plans to grab the micro led market, where Apple plans to use micro led on Sale's own smart watches during 2018-2019, and Hon Hai is a new American company that buys and develops mrico led panels, said Mr. The Micro led may be expanded at an unimaginable rate, and the 2018 Micro led market is expected to expand to $14 million, up to twice times 2017 years.
Sharp May 22 announced, in order to accelerate the micro led panel research and Development, commercialization of footsteps, will join hands Cybernet Venture capital (Hon Hai Indirect shareholding 100%), group Chong, Rong Chong, and other 3 pan-Hon Hai Group in October this year to acquire research and development micro LED panel of the United States to create a new company Elux.
According to Sharp, after the completion of the acquisition procedures, Sharp, cybernet, group Chong and Rong Chong Elux's contribution to the proportion of 31.82%, 45.45%, 13.64% and 9.09% respectively
2.10.5/11 generation of the panel competition gun fire emerging forces in full;
Mainland panel factory Beijing Oriental Investment in the world's first highest generation of 10.5-generation panel factory, originally scheduled to put into production in 2018, but chairman Mr Recently said that the 10.5-generation plant in Hefei will be in advance in December 2017 production. Beijing East 10.5-generation factory firing gun start, will open the new era of the panel industry, the industry is expected to follow up the investment 10.5/11 foundry industry, but also including huaxing photoelectric, Hon Hai, LG Display, Huico and CEC group, etc., a total of 9 10.5/11 Foundry is planning or construction, The total investment is expected to exceed NT $2 trillion. This is a huge generation of panel competition, unlike in the past, Samsung displays (Samsung display), LG Display, Friends Tatsu, group creators and other forces are no longer leading the sprint, replaced by Beijing East, huaxing photoelectric and Hon Hai and other emerging forces sprang, The future global panel industry will have a new change and pattern, and the 10.5-generation factory, will also be the development of the panel industry in the future an important turning point. With more and more 10.5/11 generation factory open, the future large-scale panel market oversupply fear will become the norm, and may lead to the next wave of capacity knockout. In fact, the current a-Si TFT lcd off the tide is still ongoing, especially in Han factory shut down the LCD production line, the most obvious to the AMOLED panel. LG Display at the P4 plant at the tail of the Turtle (5 generation line) was closed in October, coupled with the recently closed P2 plant (3.5 generation line), and the imminent closure of the end of 2017 P3 factory (4 generation line), LG Display is responsible for the production of 5 generations of the following LCD panel factory only 1 P5 plant. Samsung monitors immediately after the closure of the 1-seat 7-generation plant (l7-1) in 2016, causing a tight supply of 40-inch TV panels, which led to huge waves in the market, while Samsung monitors closed 1 5-generation plants in 2015 and closed the 2nd 5-generation plant in 2017. From this can be seen, the two Korean factories to accelerate the exit of small and medium-sized LCD panels, the trend of AMOLED panel is very obvious. Korean factory in a short time to let the LCD panel supply and demand imbalance, so that other businesses can benefit from the price, but in the long run, if the product does not upgrade, competitiveness will continue to drain, especially in the 10.5/11 factory capacity gradually after, plus small and medium-sized panels into the AMOLED, the future high-end products to eliminate lower-order products, The tendency of soft panel to eliminate hard panel is afraid to be formed. Taiwan panel Factory friend Tatsu and group to create the inability to invest in the high generation of 10.5/11 foundry, there is no large-scale transfer into the AMOLED battlefield, the future in the panel competition fear will be in the weak, Taiwan factory on this has also been made early due to, the recent Taiwan actively attack niche market, the current friend Tatsu in the PID public display, CID vehicle in the console panel , and the market share of the electric competition panel is the highest in the world. Although the group of the Sea can be relied on by the Haikou, but the sense of hardship has not less, the recent positive layout of the car panel, not only to become Tesla 17-inch console panel suppliers, also cut into the supply chain, supply a 12.1-inch console panel, and develop a series of s-shaped curved vehicle panels, attack electric vehicle market large single, In addition, the shipment form extends from the module to the quasi system, even the system integration, the group creates the vehicle panel's revenue contribution will enlarge further in the next few years. In addition, the group Chong also actively into the machine direction, 2017 can be said to be a group of the first year of the machine, from the role of the simple panel factory, gradually transformed into a machine supplier, in order to increase revenue and profitability. As for Chunghwa, color crystal, such as small and medium-sized panel factory, in addition to actively cultivate mobile phone panels, but also fully pull the car with industrial control products, to strengthen the product of niche products. At present, niche products in addition to vehicles, industrial control, public display, electric competing products, such as aviation too, medical and other panels because of special specifications, high quality requirements, with high unit price and Gaumauli characteristics, is also the focus of Taiwan factory attack one. Now it seems that niche products are a good haven for Taiwan, if the operation is good, it is not necessary to immediately shut down 4.5 generation, 5 generation or 6 generation of lower-generation LCD production lines, but the technology must still, if it can be modified to produce sensor, fingerprint identification, electronic paper backplane, or even semiconductor wafer packaging, It will be a different way. In addition, intelligent manufacturing is also necessary, in the long run, artificial only will become more expensive, automation will become cheaper, and automation is not easy to imitate, in excess capacity can form an umbrella. In addition, the efficiency of automation, manual training, also can not be faster than intelligent manufacturing, and the average ratio of defects and failures is lower. Taiwanese panel owners, without strong financial support, to the small and beautiful road forward, although the way of fighting with the past obviously different, but continue to deepen the technical threshold of high-end process, create differentiation, the use of technology upgrades to improve the product itself and the overall added value, coupled with flexible market resilience, and the flexibility of management and operation model , the Taiwan factory has the opportunity to go out of their own path.

3. Apple does not fully close the OLED screen, will launch TFT-LCD inexpensive version of the iphone X;
Apple will launch 3 iphones in 2018, including 6.5-inch and 5.8-inch OLED models, and a 6.1-inch TFT-LCD screen model, according to an analysis by Guo Mingyan, a leading analyst at KGI Securities. This shows that although OLED has many innate advantages, but Apple will not fully transfer the IPhone to the OLED screen. In response, Rosenblatt Securities, a market-research agency, also reported that, because after the IPhone X listing, the small situation, as well as OLED screen production capacity, the cost of the problem, they can not easily with the TFT-LCD screen to say goodbye to the main reason.
According to the report, according to the latest news from the current industry chain, Apple did not fully switch to OLED screens on the iPhone screen. At least the OLED screen technology and capacity of LG and Sharp (SHARP) and other manufacturers have not yet been able to catch up with Samsung, based on risk-control factors, Apple is not currently a drastic conversion.
In addition, the report stressed that Apple's iphone 8 will never be the last iphone to use an LCD screen. Because, in 2018, Apple will bring a brand new iphone with a TFT-LCD screen, which could reduce the risk of not being shipped on time, and could further slash costs, making it less difficult for users to accept the iphone X.
The report further points out that Apple is strategically preparing a cheap version of the IPhone X, that is, converting the screen from OLED to TFT-LCD. This kind of change movement, estimated that its analytic degree has certain shrinkage. But, as a whole, other innovations on IPhone X will continue to be on the new model, which also makes the cost of control more significant.
As for the price of a cheap version of the IPhone X, it is believed to be the item that consumers are most concerned about. It is understood that the price of the cheap version of the iphone X is expected to be roughly flat with the current iphone 8 series, which is between NT $25,500 to $30,900. If this is the case, then the forecast of future sales should have a certain percentage of the market share. Technews
4. Screen rolling 4K specially for 5G prepared 8 K has come;
Now all of our electronic products interact with the first medium, is through the display on the screen and the user interaction, whether the screen is simple or gorgeous, it allows users to have an intuitive feeling, can give feedback to their own information, but also allows users to effectively manipulate the electronic products through action. Vision as the most important organ of human being to perceive the world today, is also a major direction in the development of science and technology, and now it has entered the era of visual entertainment.
Visual entertainment already contains most of the scenes of our current life, television screens to outdoor advertising, from mobile phones to VR, everything is visually as a carrier, the interest, or need to transmit information to you. Take the screen for example, from the original CRT, to the present liquid crystal, OLED, which is a large and complex vein, but always difficult to escape two key keywords: ' bigger, clearer '.
The development of screen resolution technology
And our daily use of mobile phones, from the beginning of only less than 1 inches of screen, developed to today's popular $number inch screen, in addition to the expansion of the screen, more is the resolution of the Ascension. The PPI, often referred to on the phone, is the resolution, and since Chowa's iphone 4 has been released, the Retina screen has come into our sights, and the revolution in the entire mobile phone industry has been detonated. Numerous handset manufacturers follow up, followed by the introduction of 720P, 1080P or even 2K screen, these high-resolution screens also allow mobile phones to display closer to the real world.
Now on the television screen, 4K technology has been very mature, the original 4K display technology once launched do not know how many people shocked. I believe there are a lot of "Beijing roast Duck and beauty" of the 4K short film, the exquisite picture and smooth frame rate believe that the vast majority of people will be amazed when the first time to see. But although 4K technology has been developed for less than 5 years, 8K technology is now emerging.
Although such a fast speed may make many people surprised, after all, there are many people not even 4K contact too much, but this is more than a helpless, from the current 8K specifications of the parameters, the original 4K is a transitional product.
4K so mature, why choose 8K?
Why do you say that? The reason lies in the 4K sharpness ' standard ' on the mishap. Since the birth of 4K, there is no rigorous standard to support, in addition to the $number resolution, the rest of the indicators are the existing full HD (1080P) standard, that is, 4K in addition to the resolution is different, the rest is the same as 1080P.
The Super Hi-vision Standard, already approved by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the film and Television Engineers Association (SMPTE), has a self-contained standard system that includes frame rate, standard viewing distance, viewing mode, and audio standards.
Then what counts as 8K, we first look at its parameters, the resolution is 7680x4320 resolution; The color bit width is a bit; The color gamut standard is rec.2020, which is 1.4 times times of the current NTSC color gamut; The minimum support frame rate is 120 frames per second; Audio is 22.2 channels (9 channel treble, 10 channel alto, 3 channel bass, 2 channel subwoofer); Bandwidth is Uhf-8mhz, 35~45mbit/s (RAI dvb-t2); Ku-band-2x36mhz transponders, 140~150mbit/s ($literal); Ka-Band-$number MHz, 500~6600mbit/s.
As you can see from these parameters, 8K will bring great changes from visual to auditory, and in this year's CES and awe show, we have seen a lot of 8K TV appearances, and Sharp and BoE are now vigorously developing the 8K product side.
Shocking picture, still need speed support
Now that the 8K hardware has begun to be laid out, the content will also follow, and because of the huge size of the 8K video, it is still a little difficult for the network today to want real-time transmission. Through JVC Super hi-vision camera Video acquisition results, the length of 1 minutes around the 7680x4320 resolution video, need to occupy 194GB storage space, so amazing volume, regardless of the Blu-ray disc or network bandwidth, there is tremendous pressure, Not to mention the cable TV signal.
On the content, in the previous period, Ang Lee Director of the "Billy Linn midfielder War" is the full use of 8K shooting, its shocking effect has been unanimously recognized fans. And, in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, 8K video feeds will be used, and now only a few three years is left.
For domestic, the current 4G signal although already relatively fast, but in the face of a large number of users, still can not meet the requirements, so can only hope in 5G. And according to the high-speed transmission characteristics of 5G, it can also bring the possibility for 8K video online playback. The peak rate of 5G can reach 20Gbps, while the number of devices per square kilometer can be more than 1 million, the link delay is only 1 milliseconds, which is significantly enhanced with 4G 20 milliseconds. This means that the previous 4K movie, in the 5G era will be downloaded in 1 minutes.
According to industry forecasts, 5G will be commercially available around the world in 2020, which is quite a coincidence with the 8K popularity of many television manufacturers. Why many display technology manufacturers are looking forward to the advent of the 5G era, is because 5G can provide 8K video support. Ofweek Display Network
5. High-end value products for the development of friends in the 1th quarter of next year
Peng, chairman of the group, said that for the 4th quarter 2017, the panel market, to maintain a cautious and optimistic view, as regards the 1th quarter of 2018, the visibility of the group was also quite high, mainly due to the development of the high end value products of the group of Friends, and in addition, the company also considered that the supply and demand of the 2018 were fairly balanced, but this was a situation Not every company is like this, mainly because the mainland has new capacity to open, if supply entry, a large number of standard products of the industry, the pressure will be greater. Peng said that the recent market situation is not bad, in small size, especially the mobile phone panel goods strong, TV panel prices although the decline, but also help the brand industry to launch a year-end promotional activities. 11 Holiday sales volume is declining, but the area and specifications to ascend, as for Europe and the United States Thanksgiving Day stock positive, estimated overall year-end sales should not be too bad. Looking ahead to the 1th quarter of 2018, Peng said that the company was very busy because of the need to prepare new products, in addition, the order condition is good, visibility is quite high. As regards the February of December to the Year of the year, the company will carry out a fixed annual year-old repair, although the production capacity has decreased, but it will remain full. Peng stressed that there is a fixed procedure at the age of the friend, and will not shorten the time to repair it because the order is full. Peng pointed out that while the 1th quarter of the 2018-year friend had high visibility, but not every panel company is so, and not all companies can reach a full load state, depends on what the main products of the industry is determined, different producers of the main products are different, the market response and judgment will also be different. In addition, the 10-11-month-per-year panel industry will negotiate with customers on an annual panel supply profile, Peng pointed out that the customer demand for the company is still strong, so the company estimates that the 2018-year supply and demand situation is fairly balanced, but not all the industry is. For example, as a result of the LTPs weight increase, plus OLED panel is also in volume, the 2018-A-Si mobile phone panel is expected to fall in overall demand, relative, the main production of a-SI mobile phone panel manufacturers will be more pressure, because once the mobile phone specification, will squeeze into the traditional demand for the Peng pointed out that the friend Tatsu Kunshan factory in November 2017 just full anniversary, at present, Kunshan factory full production, Kunshan factory is the main production LTPs panel, currently mainly used in smartphones and high-end notebook computers. Friend Tatsu Kunshan Plant space can accommodate 60,000 pieces of capacity, but only 25,000 pieces of production capacity, friend Tatsu is currently planning two, whether the direction of the development of OLED has not been finalized. The company was awarded the ' 2017 Taiwan Enterprise Sustainability Award ' by the Taiwan Renewable Energy Research Foundation, a consortium of legal persons, ' The Enterprise Perpetual Renewal Award ' Enterprise Sustainable Outstanding Person award ', ' TOP 50 Enterprise Sustainability Report Award ', ' Climate Leadership Award ' and ' Circular Economy Award ' 5 prizes, affirmation, by Peng personally attend the award . Peng said, 2015 years in the Longtan factory to enable the first independent design and integration of the whole process of water recycling system, not only let water become reusable resources, but also let 0 rows of technology into a sustainable green new business opportunities. In addition, the company continued to invest in energy-saving carbon to mitigate climate change, the panel process in the past 10 years not only nearly half of the electricity reduction, CO2 emissions more than 60%. In addition, the company also actively create energy, the use of manufacturing technology to develop solar energy solutions, to provide a full range of power plant construction and maintenance services, as well as the use of plant roofs to create green energy, is now in the entire Taiwan-LCD plant roof completed solar power plant. For waste, Sumitomo also implemented the concept of recycling economy, such as the process of waste copper etching liquid extraction, electrolysis, estimated in the future about 900 tons of pure copper can be recycled each year, giving the value of waste recycling.
