1. Panel Wars to play Samsung cross-sea grab Micro LED technology and talent;
South Korea's Samsung Electronics is racing against time to preview the Micro LED TV at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) on January 7, 2018. This time, the supply chain to help Samsung produce related products, in part from Taiwan, Hon Hai Group to pay great attention to this year, Samsung opted to make huge profits OLED display technology, but now also dig Taiwan Micro LED supply chain map: Choi News / provide
Recently, Samsung increased cooperation with Taiwan Micro LED supply chain, so that Hon Hai Group paid close attention to this year, OLED display technology with Samsung make money, but now also dig Taiwan Micro LED supply chain, Gou can no longer sit back and watch, a new wave of panel wars Is about to start.
According to Cai Xin, South Korea's Samsung Electronics is racing against time to preview the Micro LED (micro-LED) television at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) on January 7, 2018. In particular, this time The supply chain for producing related products is partly from Taiwan.
In the past year, South Korean manufacturers often visited the Micro LED supply chain in Taiwan, and one industry observer observed in Taiwan's Taiwan Science and Technology Park. "There are Korean engineers here almost every day this month." Wu Chi-Yi pointed out that this year's ITRI-sponsored Micro LED Forum, many listeners listened to the audience is almost from Samsung, LG experts, and frequently asked. Jingjing Zhou Jingjun, general manager has also said: "If next year, Samsung Micro LED Do not be too surprised with TV. "
According to the "Financial News" reported why South Korea's Samsung so concerned about the technological development of Taiwan? Because Samsung found that the supply chain in Taiwan, Apple has independently succeeded in creating a resolution of up to 300DPI full-color display of new displays, as long as the change of soft It is possible to make a flexible display screen, or a transparent new display, with the Samsung Snapshot market.
In Taiwan, there are quite a few teams devoted to researching and developing the innovative technology of Micro LED, just to show the value of this technology, not enough display technology, and tailor-made display driver ICs, mechanical components and circuits to demonstrate its The value of these resources, Samsung has all.When Apple set up a secret research and development base in Longtan, Taiwan, to create Micro LED supply chain, Samsung also secretly trained in the internal.Over the past year, Samsung also create Micro LED supply chain in Taiwan, the industry That Samsung Micro LED TV, has now entered the final stage.
Currently, Gou's new investment in micro LED company eLux, Hon Hai cooperation is and Hon Hai.At the same time, led by Dai Zheng Wu Sharp will also study whether the Micro LED technology and Sharp pride IGZO (thin film transistor ) Technology to make high-end display panel. "Choi News" survey, Hon Hai's current sub-groups also use their own funds to invest, such as Automotive Division, and actively want to use this technology in the automotive industry .
Currently Micro LED technology is still in fierce competition among Taiwan must integrate so that new technologies can find commercial value.This technology, the United States, China and South Korea want, do not properly grasp, is likely to repeat itself 20 years ago, Taiwan developed OLED key technology, but the patent sold to South Korea, the great business opportunities hand over the tragedy.

4.DisplayHDR 1.0 standard release: Need for HDR monitor chapter rules;
HDR (High Dynamic Range) is undoubtedly a hot technology in the display field in recent years. More and more monitors, TVs and screens are beginning to support HDR technology to bring better contrast, brightness and color accuracy than traditional SDR.
In terms of technical standards, the open HDR-10 in the television arena, the patented Dolby Vision and the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) are now rolling out the first new HDR technology standard for PC monitors, DisplayHDR 1.0.
The DisplayHDR standard is developed to bring together more than 20 chips, display panels, monitors, PCs and system vendors in the industry including Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Analogix, JDI, LG Display, Samsung, AU Optronics, Innolux, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Morningstar, Realtek, MegaChips, Portrait Displays and more.
The DisplayHDR 1.0 standard defines three different levels for LCD monitors that account for more than 99% of the market, with varying specifications for display brightness, color gamut, color depth, etc., but all require a true 8-bit color display panel Market share of about 15%):
DisplayHDR 400 is the lowest end, supporting global dimming with peak brightness not less than 400nit and global continuous brightness of not less than 320nit. Coverage of ITU-R BT.709 gamut (basic and sRGB gamut) is not less than 95% And supports HDR-10.
The DisplayHDR 600 requires 10-bit processing capability for high-end displays and notebooks with 600nit peak brightness, 350nit brightness, black-and-white brightness response time of less than 8 frames and 99% color gamut coverage. ITU-R BT.709, 90% DCI- P3 65.
DisplayHDR 1000 only professional display to be competent, the peak brightness 1000nit, continuous brightness 600nit, while the color gamma has improved significantly.
If you want to buy HDR monitors in the future, you can judge by the above three authentication levels.
