However, recent exposure of Apple's newly acquired patent fingerprint screen under the screen, so that the relevant manufacturers to rev up confidence.According to the patent content, Apple fingerprint recognition technology in the OLED screen is not limited to a screen area.If this patent can overcome the quantity Production difficulties, it also represents the future fingerprint recognition may re-appear in the new iPhone, but also with the full screen design coexistence.Physicas originally planned to launch this year's iPhone X on the fingerprint detection, but considering the market Acceptance, and fingerprinting under the OLED panel may conflict with the screen light, so choose to postpone production.
However, Apple's screen-on-screen fingerprinting still looks like a patented paper, and Synaptics has recently released a screen-on-screen fingerprinting solution and announced it will be available in one of the top 5 mobile phone brands in the world next year. Also announced that its Dundee Optoelectronics will launch the next screen fingerprint recognition program early next year, and will be in line with the market mainstream 18: 9 full-screen specifications.It is expected that the world is expected to mass production in 2019, while Dun Tai also Overall attack on the top five smart phone manufacturers in mainland China, grab the top market share of science and technology.
Fingerprint recognition market melee at a haircut.
First TDDI and IDC fierce competition Synaptics acquired Japanese Renesas manufacturers in 2014 display driver chip business, with its own capacitive touch technology to introduce epoch-making In-Cell technology, which shows the touch integrated chip - TDDI is to become Synonymous with such programs.
According to the Topology Research Institute, Synaptics accounts for about 60 million units of the world's approximately 80 million sets of TDDI chips in 2016, while Dundee's display touch integrated chip IDC has nearly 20 million units Set of shipments, 2016 shows touch integrated chip market, Synaptics's TDDI is about Dunhuang IDC about 3 times.
However, IDT estimates for DTT will substantially increase threefold to 60mn units in 2017, Synaptics 'TDDI forecast to be around 100mn units, and Synaptics' market share has dropped significantly, so it is not difficult to predict that at a lower margin Shows that the touch chip market, Synaptics, such as those of the United States Department of Commerce will once again narrow its market share, and further to such as OLED display driver chips and other products to force, Taiwan-based industries such as Dun Tai, Lian Wing, wonders Will show off in the future touch integrated chip market.
Benefiting from the substantial growth in shipments of Xiaomi smartphones in the third quarter, Dunhuang also achieved a high growth in its revenue in the third quarter, with a quarterly revenue of NT $ 3.265 billion, a 26% quarterly increase and a net profit after tax of 134 million. More than the second quarter rose 330%.
On the other hand, Europe and the United States are also playing games with fingerprint identification companies in Asia.Synaptics has been one of the key manufacturers of fingerprint recognition technology since Synaptics merged fingerprint fingerprint chip maker Validity in 2013. Even more, smart phone Android camp Leading Samsung flagship supplier of Royal suppliers.
In recent years, the Asian operators led by the exchange-top and the Aegis have continued to seize the FPC and Synaptics markets in the highly cost-demanding Android camp smart phones, and have also forced them to cross the multi-media business such as Delta D, Conexant Systems and Marvel Other more iris biometrics, voice interaction, consumer internet of things and other fields, and such changes make people think of the fingerprint identification market will usher in the price war among Asian players, the exchange top, Aegis, Mindset, Feige Manufacturers such as Ernst will continue to expand their share in 2018.
