Looking forward to new business opportunities in multi-touch technology.
When it comes to touch electronics, most people instinctively think of mobile phones. As mobile phones have evolved with enhanced functionalities, touch technology has also continuously improved and evolved. According to a Digitimes survey report, in 2009, touch panels accounted for about 21% of all mobile phones, but by 2012, this figure is expected to reach about 40%. In the future, touch panels will primarily focus on projected capacitive technology, which has advantages in terms of light transmittance, resolution, and durability compared to traditional capacitive technology. Multi-touch technology is also gaining ground, with the ratio of single-touch to multi-touch shifting from 14:86 in 2008 to an expected 32:68 in 2010. Therefore, most smartphones currently use multi-touch technology as their operating mode. Besides mobile phones, which are the most widely used and accepted, other major consumer electronics such as notebooks and PCs are also starting to seize new market opportunities with the launch of software operating systems and advancements in panel technology. As for the new generation of devices that can utilize touch technology, such as e-books, e-readers, and home appliances, they are still in a wait-and-see phase due to price constraints and the lack of established consumer behavior patterns. However, with the supply chain technology for components becoming more mature and production costs gradually decreasing, the touch world is still widely anticipated by consumers.
