Taiwan city Chinese global touch panel for

According to statistics, in 2006 the global touch panel output value of about $1 billion 28 million, of which China's Taiwan market share of up to 38%, ranking first in the global market share.

According to statistics, in 2006 the global touch panel output value of about $1 billion 28 million, of which China's Taiwan market share of up to 38%, ranking first in the global market share. This year to create $six hundred million with this application needs outbreak, "ITRI IEK" forecast, this year's global output will grow by 50%, to $one billion and five hundred million, while the Taiwan Chinese market share will exceed 40%, which is to create a value of $six hundred million. At present, other manufacturers including Innolux Shenghua actively into the touch panel, snatch market opportunities. With the release of Apple's iPhone, in the world set off a wave of touch panel boom, the increase in consumer electronics applications, the use of touch panel penetration of the products also increased.

A large group of business action actively because of the huge business opportunities this year, many manufacturers have announced the investment plan, the biggest move in the fourth quarter Innolux, production of resistive touch panel this year, also announced the investment of NT $one billion yuan to build a new factory in touch panel, capacitive touch panel, the maximum design capacity of sixty thousand pieces.

After the relay run resistive touch panel, also launched the integration of upstream and downstream, upstream of straight ITO conductive glass, and the development of capacitive products. Like other Chinese, when the weft interface, touch panel manufacturers have expansion plans, while the teenage boy and An Ke, Guan Hua ITO glass manufacturers have opened new production next year.

"ITRI IEK Research Manager Zhong Junyuan said, the rapid increase in mobile phone touch panel, portable game machine, PND, UMPC and other four products of the permeability, touch panel market growth forecast, touch panel shipments in several major application market compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in more than 35%. Zhong Junyuan said, Taiwan Chinese touch panel manufacturers are benefiting from the Chinese, white card mobile phone industry to import a large number of touch panel applications, recent shipments surge, estimated this year Chinese, mobile phone market will exceed one hundred million, of which 605 to 705 using the touch panel, and China manufacturers in Taiwan and take about 70% of the market share.

Taiwan China holding customers and cost advantage, according to statistics, last year the global touch panel output value of about $1 billion 28 million, Chinese Taiwan market share up to 38%, more than 4% of South Korea, China, 13%, 17% in North America and Japan 28%. The main reason is due to China's Taiwan touch panel industry to grasp the terminal brand customers, low-cost manufacturing and industrial clusters and other advantages, the development potential of touch consumer products.

This touch panel shipments needs outbreak, on the other hand by the upstream ITO film material supply constraints, so that the touch control panel to maintain stable prices this year, about two inches a dollar, estimated this year's output growth rate of 50%, the global market this year, the total output value of the estimated $one billion and five hundred million. And next year ensequence material manufacturers supply capacity, without fear, coupled with more intense competition in the market, next year price pressure increases, the rate of output growth is likely to slow down, approximately 35% of the estimated output growth rate next year.

Expected next year output growth of 35% touch product design trend change with consumer demand, emerging technology solutions also continue to rise, from the traditional technology of resistive, capacitive, ultrasonic, infrared, electromagnetic induction type, China Taiwan should make good use of the LCD panel manufacturing industry advantage, actively integrate with build in touch panel function. For example, in the TFT-LCD panel in Array process can have light perception detection function produced on the panel, so that when the finger touch panel, the light shading effect by perceived differences, a touch input function, enhance the use and benefits of interaction. Japan TMD, SHARP products have been published, and will be in Yokohama this year's exhibition in the exhibition photoelectric research results.
