Mini and LED will be ready for commercialization and volume next year.

The industry is widely rumored that Apple's future iPhone display will gradually shift from LCD and OLED to Micro LED. Facing the trend of this new technology, the panel, LED and equipment manufacturers all want to seize the opportunity to duck and research. The panel factory, auto group, group creation and LED factory crystal electricity, expects that the first Mini LED will be commercialized this year and will be released in 2019. It will warm up for Micro LED after 2020.

Peng Shuanglang, chairman of the company, said that Mini LED has been sending some samples of the high-end products to the customers of the competition products, and will be officially shipped in the second half of the year, which will further enhance the value. And will accelerate the development of Micro LED products, but there are huge transfer and related supply chain problems to be solved, there is no mass production schedule.

Cai Guoxin, general manager of the company, said that the Mini LED will take the competition monitor as the earliest shipment product, followed by the electric competition pen. In addition, the products used in mobile phones and VR are also being prepared.

Before the official mass production, the company has first published the world's highest resolution full-color active Micro LED display technology. Peng said that this product has caused a sensation in the 2018 SID display week. It is the largest and the highest resolution in the world. Micro LED is an important opportunity for the industrial development in Taiwan, and the display industry in Taiwan. Development is a good opportunity.

He said that there are still many engineering problems to be solved for Micro LED, including massive transfer processes and supply chains. Now there is no correct timetable for future product development and mass production, including technological breakthroughs, and it will take some time. The good news is that after you have displayed the samples, you can add more companies to research and development, showing that the subsequent development of Micro LED will accelerate.

Pan Hon Hai Group joined forces to sprint Micro LED as the panel factory in the group. In recent days, the group launched AM Mini LED at one time, and commercialized development results in various applications. Ming (2019) went public in the second quarter, and a number of other product lines are being actively reviewed. Another vehicle product is long due to a long certification period and is expected to be listed in 2020.

Li Bingjie, chairman of crystal electric, said that LED had overcapacity this year, and the market demand in the first quarter was not strong. The second quarter demand was heating up, but the price pressure caused by overcapacity was still there. The focus of the current observation is when the new technologies such as Mini LED will be released. It will become the key to economic rollover. He predicted that Mini LED would have an opportunity this year, and that its contribution would fall in 2019. As for Micro LED, it should be after 2020.

He analyzed that the application of Mini LED large size display will be listed earlier, but the number of tens of thousands of TV sets is far less than that of millions of mobile phones to LED.
