On March 19, 2018, vivo's new screen fingerprint mobile phone X21 shocked and released, marking the industry’s eagerly anticipated commercialization of the optical fingerprinting scheme under the screen. Vivo X21, which uses the optical fingerprinting scheme of Huiding Technology, has further broken through the screen. Accounted for the limit, with stylish design and full of scientific and technological performance is 'touching the heart'. Both sides continue to plunge in the comprehensive screen innovation technology, jointly provide the world's consumers with the best screen unlock experience in the industry, And will once again lead the wave of change in biometric applications in the era of full screen.
Set micro-reviews: Fingerprints on the top of the screen have been demonstrated last year by the MWC, and are finally on the market.
2. The rapid rise of China's Internet of Things (IoT) and security issues are urgently needed
The security of the Internet of Things must be rooted in the underlying hardware. It must have a trusted root in the chip. Without a trusted chip platform, network security, and equipment security lose their fulcrum. Zhongtian Micro has long been pursuing security technology. The only domestic CPU IP provider with its own instruction set security processor architecture and large-scale commercial use has many key technologies and more than 20 security mechanisms in the security field. At the same time, it is the only CPU that is the core of the domestic financial IC card replacement project. Participating units, their research and development of CPU core and security technology have been selected by domestic financial IC card design companies, and the related financial IC products designed have been certified by UnionPay.
Set micro-reviews: Internet of Things security is very serious, but the need for the government to come forward, it is difficult for one or two companies to really achieve.
3, Chibang Consulting: Server DRAM prices will continue to rise in the second quarter
According to DRAMeXchange's latest quotation, the first-tier server DRAM makers are actively transitioning to the 32GB RDIMM module specification. The Server DRAM manufacturer has to ensure sales at a favorable price. The quotation only maintained about 4% increase; After entering the second quarter, as the demand for China's server marking and foundry warming, the estimated server memory prices will continue to rise.
Set Micro Comments: Due to a blackout at the Samsung fab, whether DRAM prices have become a focus of attention in the industry.
4, China and the United States in response to major fund acquisition rumors: did not hear
According to reports from Taiwan Media, a large fund has recently announced that it intends to acquire a solar silicon wafer fab, Zhongmei Crystal, which has encouraged its stock price performance to be strong and reached an intraday trading limit. Zhongmeijing said in response that it did not hear that semiconductor wafers are in short supply. Sino-American Crystal is the world's third-largest semiconductor wafer fab global wafer parent company, which holds 50.8% of its shares, causing large-capitalization funds. It is reported that it intends to acquire global wafer lead by acquiring Sino-American crystal.
Set micro-reviews: Big Funds of course want to buy shares in the United States and Crystal, but it is difficult to share in Taiwan's headquarters, it is not absolutely impossible to invest in mainland subsidiaries.
5, foreign media: Broadcom's next potential acquisition target may be MediaTek
The Motley Fool, a well-known US financial information website, published an article today. After the failure to acquire Qualcomm, Broadcom has three other potential M&A targets: MediaTek, Cirrus Logic, and Xilinx. Among them, MediaTek is Qualcomm’s largest competitor in the smart phone SoC market. Research company Counterpoint data shows that in the third quarter of last year, Qualcomm’s share in the global smart phone SoC market was 42%, and MediaTek’s share was 14%.
Set micro-reviews: Broadcom is unlikely to buy MediaTek, because this company is too focused on profitability, MediaTek gross margin is a bit low.
6, Apple's key components of autonomy and then into the process value MicroLED screen technology
For the first time, Apple will independently design and produce the MicroLED display. At present, it has used the secret factory near the California headquarters to produce a small number of screens for testing. MicroLED uses a different material than the current OLED screen, which is expected to make future devices more slim and clearer. And more energy-saving. Analysts believe that this move is Apple's latest initiative to achieve the key components of autonomy.
Set Micro Comments: MicroLED technology should eventually be applied in smart watches and other fields.
7, Samsung once again played with mobile phone screens. Can new patents actually allow the screen to fly?
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently announced a new patent related to Samsung. Samsung named the patented 'flying display device'. In simple terms, it is a huge display screen capable of flying in the air like a drone. Can be used in some special occasions, such as live broadcasts, outdoor concerts, etc., to provide poorly positioned people with a clearer picture.
Set micro-reviews: Patents embody the thinking and judgment of each company on future technology. The future may not necessarily be commercialized, but at least it can protect potential possibilities.
