The construction of the "5G + 8K" ecological environment in the electronics industry means that touch technology will make further breakthroughs.
According to DSCC data, shipments of OLED mobile phone panels will exceed LCDs in 2021. At the same time, global OLED panel revenue will continue to grow at a double-digit growth rate, increasing to $ 57.2 billion by 2020. The key to OLED panels replacing LCDs is "flexibility."
"After years of hard work, we have developed an arbitrary stretched 3D curved touch product that can withstand more than one million bi-directional arbitrary foldings," said Jiang Huaihai, CEO of TPK.
On October 25, TPK Yihong and Cambrios of the United States jointly held a flexible touch SNW technology exchange conference on the theme of “Innovation and Piloting” in the Barcelona Hall of InterContinental Shenzhen
TPK CEO Jiang Huaihai, Cambrios CEO Xiao Zhongqin and many other leaders introduced the progress of the latest projects in nano-silver wire technology and flexible touch.
Compared with traditional macro-conductive materials, nano-silver wire materials have three obvious characteristics: low electrical resistance and very high electrical conductivity; nano-wire diameters have no obstruction to light and have high light penetration; nano-silver wire stacking The mesh-shaped conductive surface can be bent arbitrarily, and can withstand tensile deformation of various sizes without affecting its conductive performance.
The characteristics of low resistance and high ductility of nano-silver wire conductive technology also make the current touch display products free from the space constraints of flat-panel display, and develop various curved and folding 3D curved touch display products to achieve touch. Show the vision of the ubiquitous industry.
At present, nano-silver wire material technology continues to be optimized and developed, and will soon become a new type of basic conductive material that far surpasses ITO conductive material in optical and electrical properties.
"Every decade there is a major change in science and technology. If you can't keep up, it will be eliminated." Jiang Huaihai, CEO of TPK Erhai Xiamen, said in a speech on "Modern Technology Evolution and SNW Vertical Integration Solutions" Bringing new technology requirements to the touch industry. At present, TPK has joined Cambrios, the world's largest supplier of nano-silver wire materials, to break through technical difficulties and launch various advanced nano-silver wire touch products in the market. "
Judging from the products developed in the current market, nano-silver wire technology is widely used in the touch display industry. Among them, the most distinctive application is to produce high-precision touch screens with large-size displays; to produce curved surfaces with curved surfaces, flexible displays, and foldable touch screens.
It is understood that high-end mobile phone brands such as Lenovo and Huawei have launched some folding screen phones. BOE showed a sample of a folding screen phone this year, and Samsung has hinted that it will launch a folding screen phone next year. In the future, there is still much room for the development of flexible AMOLED.
"It is expected that by March and April next year, the foldable mobile phone will reach an explosive period." Said Sun Yanchen of the first mobile phone industry research institute.
