Research and Markets: Concise Analysis of the MEMS for Cell Phones and Tablets Market
Business Wire - Mon Mar 03, 7:06AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/49pt37/mems_for_cell) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the MEMS for Cell Phones and Tablets Market" report to their offering. This report describes why some of these emerging MEMS (speakers, oscillators, chemical sensors, switches, auto-focus, etc.) will ramp up in volume almost overnight, just as pressure and humidity sensors did in the past few months. A nice 19% yearly growth is predicted for a market that reached $2.2B in 2012, and volume growth will be even more impressive, with 17.5B units expected by 2018, up from 4.5B in 2012. Sensor fusion is heating up with its first commercial implementations! As sensor popularity enables new applications, software is key for obtaining the best performance and functionalities. Sensor hubs appeared at the end of 2012, in Windows Phone architectures and also in some Android platforms such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S4, which integrate Atmel hub. This greatly impacts the MEMS value chain, since successful products must offer the right level of software and be qualified with sensor hubs in a timely manner. Sometime in 2013, evolution is still expected in value partitioning, in particular with sensor fusion integration in the application processor. Also, as the value chain continues moving and novel architectures appear, new killer functionalities will hit the market. In particular, an ecosystem for context awareness or indoor navigation is put in place, with technology demonstrations (such as Movea's recent demo at CES) and release of the first commercial chipsets enabling new sensor and data fusion concepts (Qualcomm iZat, Gimbal, CSR SiRFusion Platform, etc.).

Global Markets for Metal Meshes as Transparent Conductors 2014 - New Developments
M2 - Tue Feb 18, 10:34AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/gm43z7/markets_for_metal) has announced the addition of the "Markets for Metal Meshes as Transparent Conductors 2014" report to their offering. This report analyzes new developments in metal meshes that make them a serious contender as a TC. While all metal-based TCs used to be lumped together in one category, the TC industry now distinguishes between metal meshes, in which the metal is patterned in a regular grid, and nanowire structures, in which much smaller metal structures form a random network. This report covers only metal meshes, be they made from silver, copper, or other metals. We do look at the overall TC market to analyze how metal meshes fit into the market but do not report on other TC materials in detail. Our separate Transparent Conductors report covers the wide range of materials being used as TCs. This report expands greatly upon the relatively small section on metal meshes in our last transparent conductors report. We especially look at the growing number of companies manufacturing metal meshes and evaluate their strategies, offerings, capabilities, and readiness for volume production. There are at least 15 companies with products worth considering, a major change from just a short time ago. We cover opportunities in several sectors where metal meshes are especially promising. The first of these is in touch panels, where applications include a range of display sizes, from phones and tablets to laptop computers. This is the most important market for meshes in the next few years. Over the eight-year forecast period, several other applications are likely to increase in importance. Metal meshes are very good for large panels, because they can spread the voltage across the entire panel. Fine pitch metal meshes are compelling for OLED lighting panels, although the commercial success of these panels is in no way guaranteed. There are definitely opportunities in OLED TVs, and solar panels, especially thin film and organic PV. Key Topics Covered: Chapter One: Introduction Chapter Two: Metal Mesh Transparent ConductorsTechnologies and Capabilities 2.1 How Does Metal Mesh Fit into the Transparent Conductor Market? 2.1.1 Growing Interest in Meshes 2.2 Comparison with Other Transparent Conductors 2.3 Key Advantages of Metal Meshes 2.4 Limitations of Metal Meshes 2.5 Silver or Copper? 2.6 The Future of Metal Meshes: Recent Developments Chapter Three: Applications and Markets for Metal Mesh Transparent Conductors 3.1 Touch: The Killer App 3.1.1 Transparent Conductor Makers May be Overestimating the Potential in the Touch Segment 3.1.2 Capacitive Touch Screens - Opportunities for Metal Mesh 3.1.3 Resistive Touch Screens - Opportunities for Metal Mesh 3.1.4 The Path Forward 3.2 Large Displays and OLED Lighting 3.2.1 Moving Toward Larger Panels 3.2.2 OLED Lighting 3.3.3 Why Metal Meshes? 3.3 Solar Panels 3.3.1 Thin Film PV - Opportunities for Metal Mesh 3.3.2 Organic and DSC PV - Opportunities for Metal Mesh 3.4 Combining Metal Meshes with ITO 3.5 Other Applications 3.5.1 EMI Shielding 3.5.2 Transparent Heating Films Chapter Four: Firms to Watch Chapter Five: Seven-Year Forecasts for Metal Meshes as Transparent Conductors Companies Mentioned - 3M (U.S.) - Atmel (U.S.) - Dai Nippon Printing (Japan) - Epigem (U.K.) - Fujifilm (Japan) - Gunze (Japan) - Hitachi Chemical (Japan) - JTOUCH Corporation (Taiwan) - Mirae Nanotech (Korea) - O-film Tech Co.

Global Markets for Metal Meshes as Transparent Conductors 2014 - New Developments
M2 - Tue Feb 18, 10:34AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/gm43z7/markets_for_metal) has announced the addition of the "Markets for Metal Meshes as Transparent Conductors 2014" report to their offering. This report analyzes new developments in metal meshes that make them a serious contender as a TC. While all metal-based TCs used to be lumped together in one category, the TC industry now distinguishes between metal meshes, in which the metal is patterned in a regular grid, and nanowire structures, in which much smaller metal structures form a random network. This report covers only metal meshes, be they made from silver, copper, or other metals. We do look at the overall TC market to analyze how metal meshes fit into the market but do not report on other TC materials in detail. Our separate Transparent Conductors report covers the wide range of materials being used as TCs. This report expands greatly upon the relatively small section on metal meshes in our last transparent conductors report. We especially look at the growing number of companies manufacturing metal meshes and evaluate their strategies, offerings, capabilities, and readiness for volume production. There are at least 15 companies with products worth considering, a major change from just a short time ago. We cover opportunities in several sectors where metal meshes are especially promising. The first of these is in touch panels, where applications include a range of display sizes, from phones and tablets to laptop computers. This is the most important market for meshes in the next few years. Over the eight-year forecast period, several other applications are likely to increase in importance. Metal meshes are very good for large panels, because they can spread the voltage across the entire panel. Fine pitch metal meshes are compelling for OLED lighting panels, although the commercial success of these panels is in no way guaranteed. There are definitely opportunities in OLED TVs, and solar panels, especially thin film and organic PV. Key Topics Covered: Chapter One: Introduction Chapter Two: Metal Mesh Transparent ConductorsTechnologies and Capabilities 2.1 How Does Metal Mesh Fit into the Transparent Conductor Market? 2.1.1 Growing Interest in Meshes 2.2 Comparison with Other Transparent Conductors 2.3 Key Advantages of Metal Meshes 2.4 Limitations of Metal Meshes 2.5 Silver or Copper? 2.6 The Future of Metal Meshes: Recent Developments Chapter Three: Applications and Markets for Metal Mesh Transparent Conductors 3.1 Touch: The Killer App 3.1.1 Transparent Conductor Makers May be Overestimating the Potential in the Touch Segment 3.1.2 Capacitive Touch Screens - Opportunities for Metal Mesh 3.1.3 Resistive Touch Screens - Opportunities for Metal Mesh 3.1.4 The Path Forward 3.2 Large Displays and OLED Lighting 3.2.1 Moving Toward Larger Panels 3.2.2 OLED Lighting 3.3.3 Why Metal Meshes? 3.3 Solar Panels 3.3.1 Thin Film PV - Opportunities for Metal Mesh 3.3.2 Organic and DSC PV - Opportunities for Metal Mesh 3.4 Combining Metal Meshes with ITO 3.5 Other Applications 3.5.1 EMI Shielding 3.5.2 Transparent Heating Films Chapter Four: Firms to Watch Chapter Five: Seven-Year Forecasts for Metal Meshes as Transparent Conductors Companies Mentioned - 3M (U.S.) - Atmel (U.S.) - Dai Nippon Printing (Japan) - Epigem (U.K.) - Fujifilm (Japan) - Gunze (Japan) - Hitachi Chemical (Japan) - JTOUCH Corporation (Taiwan) - Mirae Nanotech (Korea) - O-film Tech Co.
