Smartphones develop new demand for touch panels

The development of smart phones has become very rapid in this century. In the past two years, with the overnight rise of the Android system and the popularity of Apple products in the world, smart phones are still the trend of the times. As a smart phone, there is one of the most significant and extremely important components, namely the touch screen that changes the appearance and operation method of the mobile phone.

At present, the application of touch screens has rapidly expanded from the niche commercial markets such as ATMs and industrial control computers to mobile phones, PDAs, GPS, PMPs (MP3, MP4, etc.), and tablet PCs, etc. Technology and products trigger the infinite beauty of the human world.

According to a report from China’s touch screen network, August 16, 2012 — Despite weaker overall shipments in 2012, new display and touch technologies for small and medium-sized devices will continue to drive demand, especially in the smartphone market. According to a company's small and medium-size panel shipments and forecast quarterly report, the increase in demand for higher-performance smartphones has driven the trend toward integrated panel and touch technology production. In addition to the integration of touch panels and panels by panel manufacturers when they shipped to their customers, there has also been a significant increase in touch and display integration.

As more and more smart phones are produced using integrated touch panel FPD technology, the cost, size and brightness of these smart phones will be affected. It is expected that the production cost of touch panel displays will be reduced, which will ultimately allow consumers to enjoy more favorable prices. As consumers’ demand for portable devices continues to rise, smart phones developed with this hybrid technology are expected to become lighter. In addition, when the glass sheet used on the external touch screen is removed, the brightness of the smartphone will increase.

Obviously, touch screen combination technology is expected to become the main source of revenue for small and medium-sized applications. In fact, as of next year, shipments of most panels are expected to include both touch panels and panels. Whether in-cell touch or on-cell will be integrated in high-end panels, this part of the market share is expected to be in 2015. Increased to 70%. This is a very exciting news. It is hoped that manufacturers of touch screen production can seize the opportunity, seize the opportunity, and obtain business opportunities.
