The screen is huge sapphire commentary ten best technology for development

February 10, 2015, the famous American technology magazine "PopularScience" announced the results of the annual 100 Best Technology, involving aerospace, engineering and construction, healthcare, software, hardware, entertainment, home, consumer electronics, sports and leisure Green, automotive, security and other 12 major categories. This selection has insisted for 27 years, science and technology achievement award Pokka has turned those who would lead the future, change the future of technological innovation. Kyocera phones which SapphireShield indestructible sapphire screen was rated one of the ten latest technology.

Although the non-application of LED application sapphire proportion accounted for less than 30%, but in the future as more consumer electronics sapphire material, the proportion will rapidly increase in 2016 is expected to be an equal proportion of the non-application of LED and LED application proportion . Currently manufacturers worldwide involved sapphire 148, 74 in China, with the actual manufacturing capacity has 39, although there once before GTAT bankruptcy affect the development of the industry, however, Apple has opened space for development sapphire, sapphire in the future as Apple product chain and other smart phone use promotion, expected future demand will grow sapphire. Currently, many companies secretly preparing sapphire material, such as exposed laugh Technology, East Crystal Electronic, Aorui De, Lida Optical already using all sorts of methods to do the layout for the sapphire market, has been revealed that Apple's next-generation mobile phones will sapphire material, enormous sapphire future industrial development, explosive strength.

Broken to pieces by a mobile phone screen we rely heavily on technology, life in reality, it is a blatant mockery. A recent survey found that every four years there is an iPhone, encountered a broken screen doom. 2014, Kyocera Corporation has released for the first time and never broken ultra-rugged mobile phone screen. SapphireShield screen laboratory made synthetic sapphire, synthetic sapphire called this one of the hardest substances on earth. Safety fall sapphire screen height is twice the normal screen. In addition, it is almost impossible to be scratched.

Sapphire crystal as an important technology, widely used in military, aerospace, consumer electronics, etc., sapphire has broad application prospects, especially in the consumer electronics and LED substrate applications, the ability to accelerate the development of the award-winning Sapphire it? Can bring 100% or 200% of the growth of the industry do?

Sapphire current state of development

With the continued growth of technology sophistication sapphire reduce production costs and, in addition to the conventional LED epitaxial substrate applications, sapphire widely in recent years, various industries concerned, all countries in the world promising business opportunities in the sapphire substrate. Sapphire substrate is mainly used in the production of LED wafers of material with high hardness, high dielectric constant, high thermal conductivity coefficient, and so superior characteristics, in addition to applications in smart phones and wearable devices, including Apple, Samsung, LG and other higher-order smart phone camera lens cover and the main screen keys, the sapphire substrate is expected to be more market can be applied in the field of optics, aerospace technology and military uses.

Current sapphire material from the application point of view, LED applications are expected to consume an average of one month 200-3000000 capacity, and with the high-end mobile phones and flat lens, the popularity of home key applications, and next year Applewatch market entry, sapphire material face increasingly wide applications. The main reason for the current market malaise sentiment remains sapphire material that GTAT bankruptcy, investment agencies believe that the reasons for the failure is that the sapphire the periodic problem on the technical and cost control, but in the long run, as long as there are new areas of application the possibility of new material production process, technology, cost and other issues will evolve over time, and are gradually digested. At present, it really possible to predict the sapphire will be applied to the next generation Iphone premature conclusion of the panel, but the new material industry chain enabled perspective still cause for concern.

Sapphire future demand trends

With Sapphire Apple product chain and other smart phones in the promotion of the use of the future will be increasing demand for sapphire. 2016 Sapphire application market of nearly $ 2 billion of new space will be three times higher than the market LED substrate material. Sapphire future needs in the following areas:

Applications sapphire: 1, LED chip substrate material; 2, consumer electronics: camera, fingerprint identification plate, cover glass; 3, military; in which the application of LED and consumer electronics industry accounted for most of the demand.

LED chip substrate material future global application needs in 6000-8000 ten thousand (2-inch pieces), demand remained stable, consumer electronics, mainly used in mobile phone cameras and fingerprint identification, if the demand sapphire glass cover can be opened, the industry is expected to remain twice for growth.

According to forecasts industry research organization, smartphones future growth rate of 11.5% on average, in 2018 shipments reached 1.8 billion, cover more than 20% penetration rate, the demand for more than 400 million. If the price by $ 10 / piece of computing, the industry will reach 4 billion US dollars.

As a phone cover glass of the advantages and disadvantages, sapphire has a hardness (close to diamond), ultraviolet, infrared sapphire advantage (for the military), dielectric constant, a crystal, amorphous and other than the advantages. Sapphire also has low light transmittance, however, a large density is less.
