In 2017, domestic fingerprint chip manufacturers began to rise
In 2017, the outbreak of full screen gave fingerprint chip manufacturers a problem. Fingerprint unlocking leads to the common thinking of the industry. For a time, various unlocking methods have been paid attention. Due to the pursuit of a higher screen than the full screen, the position of the chin is not. The fingerprints are placed in the space, and the fingerprint technology in 2017 is not yet mature, so the back-side coating fingerprint is the most popular solution.
The price war has been going on since 2015 and now there is news that the price of fingerprint chips has fallen below US$1. The price of the entire fingerprint chip market does not seem to be so high. A fingerprint chip maker indicates that the fingerprint chip is currently on the back. The price is generally between $0.7-$1.2, and the price difference between different products is mainly due to the difference in the size of the array. In general, the overall price of fingerprint chips fell very fast in 2017, and the gross profit margins of various companies were not very high.
In the first half of 2017, Huiding’s shipments in March and April successfully surpassed the FPC and won the championship of the Rising Sun Big Data fingerprint chip monthly shipment, fully demonstrating the strength and potential of domestic fingerprint chips. The explosion of domestic chips also fully demonstrated that domestic fingerprint chip technology and quality have been widely recognized.
In the process of transcending foreign manufacturers and gaining recognition from customers, fingerprint chips only took three to four years. Compared with the touch-control chip's six-to-seven-year history, the pace of technological innovation of domestic chip manufacturers is gradually accelerating, and has already stood at the same level as international manufacturers. The advantages of domestic manufacturers in terms of technical support and product cost performance are gradually highlighted.
Screen fingerprint technology into the next layout direction
At the moment, Xinsi’s under-the-screen fingerprinting technology has successfully refreshed people’s understanding of fingerprint unlocking. Before, FPC’s arbitrary screen fingerprinting has created some new possibilities for mobile phone unlocking. What is the specific implementation of the fingerprint under the screen?
The in-screen fingerprint is In-Display, which integrates the fingerprint sensor into the panel; the screen fingerprint usually refers to the Under-Display, which means that the fingerprint is integrated at the bottom of the screen or other positions. In-Display is fully integrated with the panel and the panel needs to be redesigned with new technology. Under-Display is mainly required for the light transmittance of the panel, so it is mainly applied under the AMOLED screen.
In the meantime, Chuangchuang North is also optimistic about mass production of Under-Display products in 2018, only considering that convenience and performance have yet to be further verified by the market.
In the screen, screen, and screen any of these fingerprint unlocking methods which will preemptively occupy the market, there are fingerprint chip manufacturers believe that the screen will begin mass production of fingerprints, this is a full-screen frontal fingerprint is currently better s Choice. It is also because the fingerprint technology under the screen is relatively mature, while the other two currently have no more mature solutions.
Obviously, unlocking the fingerprint at any position on the screen is more convenient than using the fixed unlocking area. At the same time, it can support the unlocking of multi-fingerprint fingerprints and further improve the security. The in-screen fingerprint is integrated in the panel. This is what the panel maker has been working on. Now that touch is integrated, the next step is to integrate the fingerprint, the integration is higher, and the overall module is thinner.
In the case of active layout of fingerprints under the screen, whether or not fingerprint unlocking under the screen will become a new profit growth point, remains to be tested by the market, just as Chichuang North said: New products that can solve market demand and pain points will inevitably become A new profit growth point, and the fingerprint under the screen as a transitional product, the life cycle of this product depends on the maturity of fingerprint technology in the screen.
In 2018, where did fingerprint chip makers go?
At the beginning of 2018, the fingerprint chip market can be said to be kicked off with large-scale layoffs of FPC. Some media analysis is due to the triple price of fingerprint chip product prices, cold markets, and the strong rise of domestic manufacturers. In 2018, the fingerprint chip market was optimistic that the overall trend was to increase, and it was optimistic about the shipment of fingerprint chips.
In the fingerprint chip price war, Chuangchuang North believes that the price of fingerprint chips will slow down in 2018, and the price war will also slow down. After many rounds of price adjustment, the gross margin of fingerprint chips is generally not high, and it is inevitable that the fingerprint chips will continue to be chopped. The development of the entire fingerprint chip market is not very favorable.
The next step in the fingerprint chip market will be the continued rise of domestic fingerprint chip manufacturers, while the European and American fingerprint chip manufacturers will gradually fade out of the domestic market. After all, if the gross profit margin continues to decline, it is believed that Western companies will choose to withdraw at a low level. The shipment of fingerprint chips from domestic fingerprint chip makers may increase.
With the continuous maturation of the fingerprint chip technology, the opportunities for domestically produced chips will increase and they will continue to occupy more market share. With regard to the fingerprint chip market where the giants are currently benefiting, some fingerprint chip manufacturers will face the situation of reshuffling. Therefore, fingerprint chip manufacturers must actively improve their products, serve their customers, and enhance their brand influence.
In the case of Techuang North, it has three outstanding advantages in the field of fingerprint chips: first, it is a good supply chain relationship, which can ensure a stable production capacity; secondly, it is guided by technological innovation so that it can develop competitive products. The third is long-term investment in product diversification, which can provide total solutions including fingerprint identification, touch control, display, TDDI and other products.
For fingerprint-recognition-related products, Chinatex has always been actively deploying and innovating. Under-screen fingerprints and in-screen fingerprints are being developed in accordance with established plans. In 2018, Jianchuang North will continue to increase innovation and provide better services. Coherent existing advantages, create a quality future!
The shockproof pressure sensor is the most commonly used sensor in industrial practice. It has shockproof function and has a certain benign response in case of various shaking. It is widely used in various industrial automatic control environments, including water conservancy and hydropower, railway transportation, intelligent construction, production automatic control, aerospace, military industry, petrochemical, oil well, electric power, ship, machine tool Pipeline and many other industries.
The integrated sensor is manufactured with standard process technology for producing silicon-based semiconductor integrated circuits. Usually, some circuits used for preliminary processing of the measured signal are also integrated on the same chip.
