There are more than 80 known cover glass companies that are considering entering this field, and many do 2.5D glass. The current bending bending machine companies have more than 160 large-scale monthly calendars, including CNC, lamination, inspection, coating, and materials. , with the ability to participate in and wait and see not less than 1,000.
However, only a few companies, such as Bourne, Lansi, BYD, and Yahua, currently have large shipments. A considerable part of the company's production lines are pulled up, and they are on the sidelines due to technical or market factors.
As the front 3D cover requires OLED flexible screens, Samsung has an absolute advantage over the flexible display, resulting in the limited production capacity of 3D glass is limited to two or three companies. This situation will break in a certain period of time in 2019; In 2019, more than 70 million flexible display screens are expected to come on stream. The demand for 3D glass front covers will be very large. Huaxing Optoelectronics will have a flexible screen at the end of the year, promising a large number of shipments in 2019. These markets are positive. Large-scale liquid crystal module factory and 3D glass cover plant, it is a great chance.
With the approaching of 5G communications business, the material of the mobile phone body will be gradually mixed with glass, ceramics, and materials for signal transmission needs. The original fiery metal shell will be gradually replaced. Including Apple, Huawei, Samsung, OPPO, vivo, millet. Other brands of mobile phones and Foxconn, BYD, Lansi, Byrne, Yahua, Vogge, Rui Sheng and other industrial chain companies are investing in R&D and manufacturing of 2.5D and 3D glass. Some brands use 3D glass for high-end models. , Value and differentiation make the phone in short supply.
According to the analysis of the 3D curved glass industry branch of the China Communications Industry Association, the investment in 3D curved glass has exceeded 560 billion in the last two years, and the investment in supporting equipment and equipment has exceeded 20 billion. The demand for 3D glass on mobile phones will increase by over 100 million pieces per year. With BOE, the supply of Huaxing Optoelectronics mobile phone flexible screen in 2019 will greatly increase the application of 3D curved glass on the front cover of the mobile phone.
The application of 2.5D and 3D glass in smart phones, smart cars, industrial control and smart terminals will bring more opportunities to the full-screen mobile phone and 3C industry, including flexible display, automation equipment, robots, ceramics, wireless charging, machine vision , FPC, SMT, PCB and other fields bring new equipment material requirements.
Sponsored by Sino-Swiss Convention and Exhibition, June 21st to 23rd, Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center, the industry's largest 3D curved glass + mobile 3C exhibition (Touch China2018) will be held in halls 2, 3, 4. GIS Industry Group, Berne Optics, Dijing Optoelectronics, Vogel Optoelectronics, Yahua Electronics, KUKA, Fanuc, UPro, Taichung Seiki, Sanhuan, Sunlord, Huagong, Liande, Jiujiu Seiko, Blue Eyes and more than 500 homes Exhibitors participate in the exhibition. 3D curved glass, full screen technology, mobile phone ceramics, metal casing, mobile phone automation, optical fingerprinting and camera technology, 3C creation, FPC & PCB electronic automation, wireless charging, machine vision, AO testing, new materials and other enterprises .
During the same period, the 3D Glass & Flexible Display Full Screen Summit, Mobile Phone Ceramic Powder Processing Summit, China 3C Industry Intelligence Summit, 2018 (2nd) Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment Summit Forum, Wireless Charging Summit and other experts gathered, are mobile phones and 3C industry ( Communication, computer, consumer electronics) excellent platform for technicians.
