In the 2018 International Consumer Electronics Show, from all countries cutting-edge new technology debut .A variety of new trends, black technology is too cool, eye-opener.From this CES show you can see, in addition to continuing the explosion of artificial intelligence Point, the development also tends to things, 5G and augmented reality.
As the fastest-growing product in the world, consumer electronics is under unprecedented pressure to transform and upgrade, making it an important trend for consumer electronics to grow thinner, smarter and smarter, which undoubtedly places higher demands on materials.

Material follow 'wisdom ' stand up
In an interview with CPRJ China Plastics and Rubber magazine, Li Chao, CMF Design and Development Manager of Handset Division of Xiaomi Telecom Technologies Co., Ltd pointed out: 'At this year's CES show, there are more devices like mimicry robots and exoskeletons, such as Sony's new generation This will make electronic materials from a single shell material into a multi-material composite, such as mimicry equipment bones, joints, shell on the physical properties of plastic is not the same, will use different material combinations. Material will have more uses. '
This year at CES, millet eco-chain enterprise Run meter technology 90 points brand has brought a smart follow the concept of functional products - 90 points smart follow suitcase (90FUN Puppy1).
At present, the wheels of the suitcase take up a lot of weight. The whole box is about 6 kilograms in weight. However, in the future, manufacturers will consider reducing the size of the wheels and reducing the weight, which is more convenient for use in multiple scenarios. It is worth mentioning that The material of the box shell is rather special, and the strength of the plastic material is higher than that of the ordinary. The box front cover is made of ultra-light carbon fiber composite material, which can realize large angle opening and closing.
In recent years, the development of wearable devices is not inferior to that of smartphones. According to consulting firm Reportlinker, the global wearable device market reached US$30.2 billion in 2018, and the market has also maintained a double-digit growth trend. Wearables Need a stylish, comfortable touch, and easy to design and process high-performance materials.
After wearing a bubble disaster, wearable products began to gradually return. Many uncompetitive products have been eliminated. Precipitated companies have started to launch new products steadily. For example, VR, jointly launched by Xiaomi and Facebook, Muscles, lightweight plastic materials have high cravings. If later subdivided areas, such as for children's education, then the attributes such as confrontation are also eager. 'Li Chao also believes that' outdoor large-scale electric equipment, short-distance electric traffic Increased number of terminals. These devices allow a certain amount of space to be used for the extension of outdoor aging materials.
Thin and light, fashion becomes mainstream
Innotech Technologies brings the Innophone Omnos 5.1.2 Soundbar home theater to the CES. From the visual experience, Omnos integrates modern technology and Nordic simplicity design. The whole body adopts a unique textile wrapper. Process, the fabric feels warm and soft, full of home fashion style.
The base is made of high-strength engineering plastics with stone grain design. The sense of science and technology is full. Stone texture plastics are in sharp contrast with the soft cloth, giving the viewer a different visual and audio experience. The Nordic minimalist style design makes Omnos even more. Won the 2017 Red Dot Design Award.
Dell launched the new XPS 13 on the eve of CES. The biggest highlight of this model is the new golden color model, which breaks many limitations of carbon fiber materials and uses an innovative laminated silicon fiber material to create white knit material. The B side and palm rest, which also has a protective material to prevent it from yellowing or staining over time.
In terms of heat dissipation, Dell has designed a new cooling technology, with fans and copper tubes increased from 1 to 2 groups, and uses GORE insulation materials that can directly derive heat.
3DPrint materials show their talents
At this CES, 3D printing has once again been fully reflected. 3D printing company Carbon and equipment protection company Incase reached new cooperation to manufacture mobile device protection shell and casing. Carbon's M2 3D printer uses proprietary digital light synthesis technology (DLS) To produce high-precision resin parts that can be used to fabricate complex structures, such as lattice structures, integrated into the cell phone housing for advanced performance. 3D printing can also help produce lighter and more durable housings.
Formlabs USA Announces Two New Photoresist (SLA) Photosensitive Resin Materials for 3D Printing -Rigid and Gray Pro, the former being a glass-reinforced resin, have the advantage of a very high print hardness and an excellent polished surface Performance; the latter has the advantage of high printing accuracy, moderate elongation. Formlabs and 3Shape company, with Formlabs release of this new material printed custom earbuds, which exactly match the user's ear shape, more comfortable Durable, but also better to eliminate environmental noise.
5GTime comes Plastic materials have a bright future
The world of communications has evolved an era for nearly 10 years. The 2G era opened in the 1990s and the rise of 4G networks in 2010. The 5G network will be officially commercialized in 2020, and the 5G network is really coming.
Li Chao said: 'Now the hottest topic is of course 5G. There are already 5G test networks under construction in China, and various 5G terminals are already under research and development. As far as 5G features are concerned, there are two major demands for plastics: 5G. The outdoor environment required for base station installation is more extreme, polar, highly weathered areas, and deserts are in demand. Common hardware covers are no longer sufficient for extreme environments, and high weathering materials used in combination with hardware have become extremely important. For terminal equipment, lower dielectric loss plastic materials (need to ensure that the commonly used physical properties are not lower than the current material), can help the device more easily to tune the radio frequency, but also become an urgent demand for various handheld terminal manufacturers of materials.
