With its numerous excellent mechanical, optical, electrical and microscopic quantum nature of graphene is expected in the electronics, new energy, advanced manufacturing, medical and other fields to expand a variety of applications. Future downstream applications market is expected to reach one trillion yuan level, is expected to be the first transparent electrode used in solar, thermal materials and touch screen and other fields.

Currently, the presence of metallic materials in the LED heat dissipation applications difficult to process, consuming energy density is too large, conductive, easily deformed and difficult to recycle waste and many other issues, almost no big price cut. Graphene nano conductive plastic applications such as in LED lighting on cooling, which can reduce system costs by at least 30%.

Graphene belong to rare earth materials, are gradually replaced by metal parts used in LED luminaire thermal parts, including lamp, cooling heat lamp cup and shell. Graphene with respect to metallic materials, with heat evenly, light weight, design and flexible features.

The rapid development of LED industry, greatly boosting the development of upstream materials industry, but also further promote breakthroughs in the field of high-end materials. LED lamps use a lot of heat conductive materials, including packaging components LED chip, LED optical lens, light scattering element, efficient cooling components, light reflection and light diffusion plate.

Graphene is currently in a critical stage of industrialization, in technical, technological and industrial chain docking areas need to invest a lot of resources. Industrialization key and difficult is the preparation of related materials, transfer of technology and downstream industry chain integration. Industrialization development of the United States, Britain, China, Japan and South Korea and other countries in a relatively forefront.

All along, the poor heat dissipation will cause damage to the power supply, the light fades accelerated life cut short and other issues, LED lighting is always a top priority to enhance system performance. Three traditional heat lamp housing materials are also advantages and disadvantages. Aluminum thermal conductivity is good, too difficult due to the conductive properties of safety; plastic insulation, but lower than the thermal conductivity and expansion coefficient; insulation and heat combines the advantages of both the former ceramics, fragile, high processing costs is the biggest ills.

Metallic material is present in the LED cooling applications difficult to process, consuming energy density is too large, conductive, easily deformed and difficult to recycle waste and many other issues, almost no big price cut. Graphene nano conductive plastic applications such as in LED lighting on cooling, which can reduce system costs by at least 30%. Graphene is nanotechnology and new materials a monolayer sheet structure composed of carbon atoms, is almost perfectly planar atomic structure found in humans, and its excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and thermal properties make their trades were placed expectations.

And aluminum and die-cast aluminum compared, if the heat plastic, heat part of comprehensive cost reduction over 50%, the entire light processing costs reduced by 30%, reduce the drive cost more than 20%. After extensive use of aluminum alloy material, various defects and more obvious that this year there are already many LED companies began zeroed regard to nanographene thermal plastic material, which is expected in the future popularity of a wide range of LED lighting in the area and flying Thai high thermal conductivity material graphene science and technology with the “high thermal conductivity, high insulation, high flame” and other excellent properties, can replace traditional metal radiators, providing more excellent solution for LED lighting products decreased overall costs.

IC equipment industry has the technology refresh cycle is short brings strong technical barriers, the high degree of market monopoly brought great market barriers, as well as cooperation and competition among customers is extremely high recognition barriers and other features, thereby forming a horizontal integration production outsourcing, strategic alliances and other development model. Learn from foreign advanced strategy model for the development of the integrated circuit and the equipment industry in Hefei, is particularly important.

The main mode of international IC equipment industry development
    
(A) In the United States, represented by Applied Materials horizontal integration model. Horizontal integration is an enterprise controlled by way of mergers and acquisitions in the industry chain advantages or owned enterprises, development of new products to achieve lower costs and achieve economies of scale, fast layout of the new areas such effect, a typical representative is currently the world’s largest supplier of integrated circuits and equipment Applied materials company. Their approach are: First, a comprehensive assessment of the merged enterprise. To have a global competitive advantage in a particular area, while they lack the core technology in the field of related companies, after a comprehensive assessment of various core technologies, market demand, if they can ensure that their businesses through mergers so that the overall layout is more complete and more the combined effect of group play, then into a strong and ensure the sustained and healthy development of enterprises. Second, the increase in post-merger integration and mutual trust. Applied Materials in a number of mergers, the majority of the merged companies are perfectly preserved in the form of division, and most of the original management continue to be reused. Attaches great importance to the process of mergers and merger integration of corporate and trust senior management to ensure that achieve win-win goal.
    
(B) to He Lanai Division mole represented production services outsourcing model. Production outsourcing non-core business model is outsourced to an independent firm more expertise in a particular area or areas, leaving only the core of value creation activities, which engage in such activities than the business itself has a higher efficiency and create greater value. ASI is a typical representative of the Netherlands Moore. Their approach are: a non-core business areas of outsourcing. The own business mainly located in the core values of the system design, customer service and other creative activities, but will most of the parts, module assembly operations outsourcing, the valuable human resources and research and development efforts focus into its own set of core values creating activities. The second is to strengthen cooperation with suppliers. Regularly to partners from product quality, logistics fast, four levels and cost control techniques to assess quality requirements without defects, logistics fast and reliable technology with the times, in this context the pursuit of the lowest cost, and ready to supply provide the necessary technical support. Third, the common response to the economic cycle risks. To strengthen itself and the supplier of the economic cycle and supporting equipment for the integrated circuit industry to minimize the impact of regular suppliers to industry of the future climate predictions, to ensure that suppliers can not only timely delivery, and avoid inventory risk.
    
(C) to the Korea International Electric represented a strategic alliance mode. Strategic alliance is built on a partnership between independent enterprises, and leverage each other’s strengths resources, core competencies, etc., to find common interests of both sides and to maximize mutual benefits. Strategic Alliance mode Korea’s second largest manufacturer of integrated international electrical equipment most typical. Their approach are: First, the establishment of technical cooperation to develop alliances. In the South Korean government support, the international electrical and actively promote the establishment of a strategic alliance with Samsung, promoting both access to relevant technologies through strategic alliances, further reducing dependence on foreign equipment providers. Second, the advantages of cooperation shared resources. International Electric and Samsung strategic alliances, and maintain each other’s independence, which both contribute to the mutual use of each other resources, to reach previously difficult to achieve some kind of unilateral objectives, including the development of new products, entering new markets, and help international Electric deep understanding of customer needs and effectively improve product quality, shorten technology development cycle, increase market share, significantly reduce business risk, which is also a win-win situation for both sides.
    
Implications for the development of IC equipment industry in Hefei
    
(A) select the appropriate mode of development. Since the IC equipment industry technical barriers, market barriers and high barriers to customer acceptance, the huge domestic market was largely hit Applied Materials, Esko Moore, Tokyo Branch power, the United States and other industry leading R & D Colin grasped a handful of domestic units can only provide a small amount of low-tech peripheral equipment, equipment self-sufficiency rate of less than 5%. In this case, Hefei IC equipment industry to promote the development and growth, the policy model used is extremely important. Horizontal integration model can quickly enter the field, but the capital strength demanding, plus “Wassenaar” technology embargo on China, this opportunity is minimal. The outsourcing of production is not feasible because the country does not have a need to distinguish between equipment suppliers core value activities to focus on the size of the enterprise resources. Therefore, more viable strategy is to take a strategic alliance model to promote equipment manufacturers, foundries and related industrial cooperation to develop new technologies, new markets, increase market share.
    
(B) to promote the domestic industry alliances. Related departments should actively promote the 43 domestic foundries and other equipment providers and related industries, the establishment of multi-party strategic alliances. Strategic alliances content should be included to ensure that the relevant provisions of the fab procurement under the premise of equal quality to encourage the use of native fab equipment and increase the market share of local equipment. Such as Korea in recent years actively promoting international electrical and Samsung strengthen cooperation through strategic alliances mode, rising domestic IC equipment homemade rate has now reached 46.7% of the level, if the league can successfully develop a competitive equipment, build a successful business model later, on this basis can further joint venture plant, which not only ensure the joint venture has a more stable market demand, but also conducive to integrated circuit manufacturers to effectively reduce the risk of supply chain is too centralized, a deep understanding of key technologies.
    
(C) In cooperation with the world’s leading companies. Despite the global integrated circuit equipment in the field of leading enterprises both advantages and difficult to break in the short term, but international companies to reduce production costs and close to the end markets, but also on delivery considerations, continue to promote the core spare parts production and supply in the country. In particular, to promote accelerated Shanghai Free Trade Zone, the world’s leading enterprises have entered the FTA to set up branches and production base, providing customers with fast and reliable service to meet the needs of IC manufacturers purchase. Hefei should actively seize this rare historical opportunity, commissioned by equipment manufacturers OEM opportunities abroad, and actively cooperate in the establishment of strategic alliances, strengthen scientific and technological research and development, shorten the learning curve and improve the technical level, the demand continues to increase market share at home and abroad homemade rate rate.

Taiwan ITRI South Branch chief executive XuShao said ceramic material with low thermal expansion coefficient, high humidity, insulation, high thermal conductivity, high hardness, wear, etc., in recent years has been greatly used in light-emitting diode (LED) light source modules and integrated circuit board (IC) high power cooling modules.

Existing non-metallic brittle precision ceramic material, the use of traditional mechanical drilling, there are holes big and easy lobes easy processing difficulties, the industry uses UV nanosecond laser, there is the price of expensive and slow processing speed issues.

XuShao noted that optical architecture patent can nanoseconds (10 th power minus 9 seconds) and picosecond laser pulses (10 minus 12 th second) pulse, continuous processing, used in LED ceramic heat plate micro-drilling process , pore size of less than 100 microns, processing speed than the current UV nanosecond laser four times faster, and no lobes phenomenon, high speed, small holes, high quality properties, and the cost is only two-thirds of UV nanosecond laser , was Taiwan LED packaging factory testing, will help to enhance the efficiency and quality of LED production.

XuShao said laser source related technologies can be applied to color laser engraving to nanosecond laser and the role of chromium stainless steel surface by setting different laser power and time parameters can be presented dozens of colorful color, gorgeous full color and lasting mining has led to a cultural and creative companies invest laser engraving cultural and creative goods.

In addition, the related technology is also used in laser printing, fast 50-100% higher than international companies, technology companies have been transferred to the stroke League and successfully introduced into the memory module production line printing.

Electronic applications across multiple fields, the world’s leading semiconductor supplier STMicroelectronics (STMicroelectronics, referred to as ST) introduced a new high-precision optical distance (range-finding) module. The new product is based on FlightSenseTM flight time measurement technology (Time-of-Flight technology), providing designers with superior ranging capabilities.

Looking 54hc123 xcr5128-10pq100c, http://www.oemsemi.com is a independent distributor for thousands of electronic parts, get quote from our web will be responsed in 24 hours, trading electronic parts from our web now.

FlightSenseTM technology is through measurement of the light reflected by the target object by using the time to provide accurate distance data. The conventional sensors can only report reflected signal strength, can not provide an accurate distance. Compared with conventional infrared distance sensors, STMicroelectronics FlightSenseTM technology has unique advantages, including measuring the distance farther (reflectivity ranging with the target object is not directly related), frame rate (frame rate) higher power and more low.

STMicroelectronics VL6180X module integrates FlightSenseTM proximity sensors (proximity sensor) and the ambient light sensor (ALS, ambient-light sensor), provides the basic gesture recognition, simplified user interface design, while improving product performance. The new product supports a number of innovative applications on the market, including smart phones, tablet PCs, game controller, while providing increased performance consumer electronics and industrial products.

FlightSenseTM technical access to global electronics giant LG use, because of its smart phone G3 laser autofocus.

VL6180X module uses 4.8mm x 2.8mm x 1.0mm compact optical package LGA12 can be based on the work environment, the precise determination of 100mm or more distant target object. The module is equipped with I2C interface and two programmable GPIO pins. Master controller via the I2C interface to control the optical module, read distance or ambient light intensity data; while GPIO pins can be configured to achieve the implementation of the threshold (threshold) applications.

STMicroelectronics new VL6180X explorers evaluation kit allows designers to easily close the full potential of this sensor module not only allow customers to quickly learn how to use FlightSenseTM technology, but also on the actual device support application development. The tool contains pluggable USB interface, STM32Nucleo development board and VL6180X sensor expansion board. And VL6180X sensor expansion board integrates sensors, LED 4 digit display and ranging and ambient light sensing function control switch. The display shows the target distance or ambient light intensity.

Recently, the United States sapphire sapphire production of raw material suppliers and equipment manufacturers GT Advanced Technologies (GTAT) announced that the company has legally to the United States Bankruptcy Court proposed initiative bankruptcy filing. For a time, gone in addition to more than 90 percent of the company’s shares, as well as a large number of lay members from the start of cooperation with Apple, had placed on the sapphire industry full of hope and confidence. The bursting of the moment, it is bankrupt to domestic enterprises and government caused huge losses of distressed and resentful of their.

If you looking for Mpsa42, Irf830 or other parts, get a quote for our web, we will response you in 24 hours. All parts sent by the United States or Hong Kong warehouse,7-10 days worldwide fast delivery.

But in fact, really be so terrible? Enter a sapphire equipment and materials, but a few years time, consecutive losses, $ 299 million in 2013 revenue, profit margin of -30% once the old PV equipment suppliers, where they come from so large energy? After all, it is because at the end of last year GTAT with Apple reached $ 578 million worth of sapphires phone screen supply agreement, let GTAT became the other end in the air flying up the fattest pig. Today, the tide receded, the GTAT was found swimming naked, the only thing they had their stuffed bear bitter fruit under. For domestic sapphire industry, whether suffered the effects mentioned above it?

First, the huge losses caused to the domestic GTAT bankruptcy and out of the question. Domestic purchase GTAT sapphire production equipment business does have a few, and some order amount of money, but there does not exist already prepaid deposit situation has not got a lot of equipment. Interpretation of related earnings can be corroborated this, by the end of 2013, GTAT scale new record backlog of products, worth up to $ 602 million.

GTAT failure is their own business decision problems and mass production 160kg ~ 200kg sapphire crystal lack of experience, its commitment to Apple’s products many of which are indicators of laboratory data, fully withstand the test of production. In contrast, domestic enterprises purchasing GTAT equipment, after quite a long arduous transformation and innovation, the current supply of products from mobile phone applications, although there are still gaps, but the mainstream LED fully meet the market demand. Taking into account the investment and construction project in mind, in these CDB and local financial support for projects of strategic emerging industries, it should be said domestic enterprises do fail in their mission.

Secondly, from the GTAT, domestic producers still sapphire Dezhuan. GTAT equipment for the technological transformation and innovation, domestic enterprises are autonomous. After GTAT bankruptcy, China has purchased its equipment production will not be affected, but certainly after the expansion is to increase the difficulty.

Currently GTAT heat exchange method using domestic enterprises in Jiangsu star, Guangdong race Fei, Zhejiang, Guizhou Haotian and the city. Similar polysilicon production equipment, production equipment purchase GTAT sapphire companies have mastered the autonomous operation, maintenance, upgrades and research and development capabilities, can mature production 120kg-class crystal, LED and watches market in a good performance. However, if the bankruptcy is no longer available after GTAT sapphire production equipment, more enterprises to expand production capacity in the short term will be affected.

In addition to equipment suppliers GTAT sapphire outside, not only to the domestic supply of several Russian companies mature, more background Aorui De HIT photovoltaic and Yuan Liang science and technology has reached the international advanced level of domestic equipment manufacturers to choose from. GTAT bankruptcy, so that domestic sapphire equipment manufacturers less of a competitor, but also to make way for LED upstream equipment at home.

Finally, GTAT bankruptcy will not affect the good prospects for the development of the sapphire industry. GTAT sapphire promote the use of the phone screen opens up a new world of sapphire applications, but it also delayed the outbreak of the bankrupt consumer electronics applications sapphire. GTAT heat exchange technology can mature production line 120kg crystal, automation rate, compared to other technology roadmap Kyropoulos mature production 80kg crystal has certain advantages. (Next to the version 4)

But in the long run, Kyropoulos will be more mature, the two technologies will coexist for a long route, which also for domestic enterprises to bring business opportunities. Huawei, vivo, Jin Sapphire has released three mobile phone manufacturers mobile terminal products, Tiantonggufen at the end of last month won three domestic mobile phone manufacturers supply contract sapphire screen. At the same time, with the rising world demand for energy saving LED lighting brings market penetration, sapphires used in LED field is in full swing, wind and water. Sapphire industrial prospects of a bright future.

So, GTAT bankruptcy would be no negative impact? Yes! GTAT sapphire bankrupt broke the aura of domestic stocks, all stocks have been “lying gun”, or not small. But to be fair, these stocks are also in the basic set off after Apple sapphire boom, touted to highs. It would appear that the return on stocks sapphire rational understanding, it seems not a bad thing.

With the advent of on-cell structure embedded touch LCD panel (on-cell touch TFT-LCD) is the low-end smart phone manufacturers to use, on-cell embedded LCD touch panel shipments in 2014 has more than 20 million times in the first half of the chip. Prior to this, the year 2013 shipments of only 4.7 million, is displayed on-cell embedded LCD touch panel is facing growing opportunity. Analysis quarterly report predicts that in 2018, on-cell embedded LCD touch panel shipments are expected to reach 100 million 2,900 ten thousand according to NPD DisplaySearch Touch Panel Market.

NPD DisplaySearch research shows that all have built-in touch panel structure includes in-cell embedded LCD touch panel, on-cell embedded LCD touch panel and on-cell embedded AMOLED panels; these three who in the touch panel module shipments wisdom needed in mobile applications, has increased its share of total shipments trend. In 2012, total shipments of approximately 20% share of the three, to the 2013 jumped to 29 percent, is expected to have an opportunity in 2014 to 32%.

NPD DisplaySearch Research Director Xie Zhongli said that overall, the structure has a built-in touch panel shipments will increase, but the magnitude of its future growth will be the impact of Apple and Samsung. Apple is the biggest customer in-cell embedded touch LCD panel, Samsung is the largest customer on-cell embedded AMOLED panels; both in the technology selection and procurement accounts for a sizeable share of influence. As for the other mobile phone brands, then started on-cell embedded LCD touch panel technology show interest, especially for the emerging middle and low smart phone market.

With the smart phone market becomes more mature, product differentiation has become increasingly difficult to significant, but consumer prices compared with the performance advantages are more requirements. Therefore, the brand manufacturers are constantly looking for new technologies, training abundant supply chains, in order to more effectively control costs and specifications. Xie Zhongli said some brands like Motorola, Huawei and so very actively trying to have a built-in touch panel structures; emerging in the low-end smart phone market just to the on-cell embedded LCD touch panel an opportunity to grow.

NPD DisplaySearch noted that, in response to the low-end smart phones on the cost requirements, the vast majority of on-cell touch LCD panel with built-in map Eucalyptus coated single multi-point. Prior to using the single multi-point is to map Eucalyptus touch GF1 structure, the structure requires only one layer of ITO films; when applied to on-cell embedded LCD touch panel can also save the cost of the mask. Xie Zhongli said that during the first half of 2014, such as Innolux (3481), CPT (2475), Caijing (6116), Pegasus (Tianma) and other panel makers are using a single multi-point diagram eucalyptus production on- cell embedded LCD touch panel, not less of a mask than SITO bridge structure, but also improve the production yield.

Xie Zhongli believed to on-cell touch LCD panel embedded in the growth rate during the first half of 2014, the really touch panel for panel makers to encourage the industry played a role to some extent into. Especially the on-cell touch LCD panel currently embedded positioning in the low-end smart phone market, just to benefit from market power, as well as brands cultivate a positive attitude towards the supply chain. However, with regard to flexibility, cost and abundant sources such as suppliers, plug-in touch panel makers currently still holds a comparative advantage.

U.S. sapphire materials suppliers and equipment manufacturers a very special advanced (GT Advanced Technologies) on October 6 suddenly filed for bankruptcy protection. As at September 29, 2014, still holds a very special advanced $ 85 million in cash. A $ 578 million supply agreement signed with Apple basis before, very special need to provide a certain number of advanced sapphire crystal rod to give Apple, but because of the long grain yield as expected, Apple unwilling to continue to pay the remaining money; plus pole Sapphire Dan Changjing with special advanced drilling equipment factory Xin Jing dispute lawsuit against Taiwan, the amount of equipment needed to return $ 24 million to Xin crystal diamond, cash-strapped cause problems.

TrendForce’s green energy career at LEDinside observation pointed out that the results actually tracked. Despite the very special advanced with nearly 2,000 crystal growth furnace production capacity to 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus Size converter, capable of providing 1,000 ten thousand sapphire protection panel, but due to a very special advanced crystal growth rate while maintaining good at four percent, plus processed into a situation from ingot yield sapphire segment protection panel can not be overcome, the cause can not be imported sapphire protection panel iPhone this year two new machines, but most especially the two companies advanced and Apple also abolished many employees to this project responsible for.

LEDinside said sapphire protection panel will be Apple’s competitors to differentiate important expression. Because Apple has invested a lot of money and patent applications in the layout sapphire protection panel to protect the lens from the camera on the iPhone, Home key to Apple Watch table covers are introduced one by one sapphire glass, sapphire protective panel therefore not impossible to import the iPhone OK, but still needs time to overcome. If all goes well, perhaps equipped with sapphire iPhone protection panel have the opportunity to debut at the end of 2015.

Road iPhone sapphire protection panel listed, still need to overcome three major obstacles

1 long crystal production capacity:

Sapphire protective panel in the supply chain into consideration crystal growth technology can not be ignored. Traditional suppliers such as KY law Monocrystal, Rubicon, Harbin Institute of Technology, Taiwan companies such as poly photovoltaic technology is more skilled, higher product yield, but requires a lot of skilled long-grain division to produce poor mass production. KY law currently able to do more than 90 kg class is only a small number of vendors. The product life cycle is short and the need for mass production of mobile phone industry, there are still a considerable number of threshold to overcome, and therefore had no choice supplier of Apple and more KY law camp.

On the other hand, HEM crystal growth method is very special claim to its high degree of advanced crystal growth furnace automation equipment, and can grow more than 200 kg of single crystal sapphire, very adaptable to mass production, which is the beginning of the selected pole Apple the main reason special advanced cooperation. However HEM France very special product yield is much lower than claimed by the advanced level, it seems that still takes time to overcome technical obstacles. For Apple, if you want to continue future development of sapphire protection panel, you must have enough ingot sources. Currently HEM method and KY France, VHGF law sapphire suppliers have switched certified, so Apple will continue to increase in the future to avoid ingot supplier shortage. Sapphire Dan Changjing for both experienced vendors will have the opportunity to increase the supply of apples, or even get a stable agreement.

2 Cost Capacity:

Currently the size of 5.5 inches, the production cost of sapphire panel thickness of 500 um, at least more than $ 60, for a sell US $ 859 the iPhone 6 Plus, it just costs sapphire protective panels accounted for 7% of the price of the phone. Therefore, how to reduce the cost will be very important topic. Despite boasts a very special advanced laser cutting technology, the sapphire substrate can be thinned and then to fit the traditional tempered glass processing, can reduce the cost of sapphire protection panel, but now it seems that the technology is still some distance away from mass production, is there a more appropriate technology to reduce costs need to do to observe the future.

After processing capacity of 3 segments:

Sapphire protection panel is not simply the sole responsibility of the advent of long-grain plants, as well as cutting and grinding and polishing after the segment, coatings, mimeograph and other processes. Especially in the Cutting and polishing of processing, hard and difficult because of the sapphire substrate material processing, but at the same time there is the problem of fragile, so the segment processing firms also need to actively look for ways to identify with a mass production process in nature.
