IHS Markit, the global LCD TV panel manufacturer, today unveiled a new LCD TV panel manufacturer in the United States that will convert its old LCD factory in 2017 into a larger LCD TV panel and a more flexible and flexible business strategy. Volume target set at 258.4 million units, down 1.2%.

IHS monitor supply chain director, said Yang Jingping, LCD TV panel shipments in 2016 compared with the same period in 2015 decreased by 5%, down to 2.616 million units. Among the six panel makers, BOE and Huaxing are the biggest contributors to TV panel shipments growth in 2016, thanks to the increased demand for 32-inch panels. But these growth is still not enough to offset the South Korea and Taiwan, the main panel plant shipments decreased. Several panel makers are turning to larger panels, facing lower production efficiencies or a significant drop in demand for smaller sizes such as 23.6-inch panels. Even in 2017, panel makers such as BOE, Qunchuang Optoelectronics and Huaxing Optoelectronics will have new capacity inputs. Overall, LCD TV panel makers will be careful to develop their 2017 production plans and business strategies. b32529c182k289

BOE has seen positive growth in shipments in recent years; however, as the company will shift to producing more large-size panels (especially 43-inch and 55-inch) and some of its capacity will also be used to produce IT panels, 2017 shipments will be reduced by 14%. Panel makers are now more aggressive in diversifying their product strategies, including the development of larger panels and other high-end products such as 4K panels, rather than expanding the supply of current TV panels. tda7580

Japanese display panel maker Japan Display will receive up to 100 billion yen (US $ 886 million) in financial aid from Japan’s “Industrial Innovation Organization” ( “INCJ”), sources close to Bloomberg said. This “emergency relief” will infuse Japan Development into a new development resource.

The source said, Japan Display is trying to win INCJ injection. INCJ is funded by the Japanese government, a fund agency, is Japan Display’s largest shareholder. At present, the two sides tend to sell preferred stock to avoid dilution of common shareholders. The person also said, Japan Display plans to use this money to increase the on-board display panels and next-generation mobile phone screen research and development. 38634-5108

Currently, Japan Display is still one of the leading LCD screen suppliers for smartphones. However, due to global handset sales growth slowed down, as well as from South Korea and Chinese manufacturers competition, Japan Display has been a loss for two consecutive years, this year there is no signs of losses.

At the same time, Japan Display and rival Sharp need a lot of money to develop OLED panels, to win more iPhone and other mobile phone orders. It was reported that Apple will launch next year, a OLED screen iPhone, but the screen may be tense supply situation.

Currently, Japan Display about half of the revenue from Apple’s orders. As a result, the decline in iPhone sales before the impact of the Japan Display performance.

The source also said Japan Display and INCJ will announce the news this month as soon as possible. By then, Japan Display may also announce long-term development plan. In addition, the company is also considering issuing subordinated debt. uevm4460g-02-01-00

Japan Display is the Japanese government led by Sony, Hitachi, Toshiba’s display sector in 2012 to set up the company, INCJ is currently the largest shareholder of Japan Display, the proportion of 35.58%.

According to the New York Times, Microsoft is spending a lot of money and resources to study quantum computers.

A quantum computer is a physical device that follows the laws of quantum mechanics and performs high-speed computation, storage and processing of quantum information. Because it uses overlapping quantum units of bits, allowing the data to be 0 and 1 at the same time, so it is also very obvious advantages: processing speed amazing, billions of times faster than traditional computers. Lei Feng network done a lot of detailed science reports, not much to say here.

However, people see the quantum computer, often only exists in science fiction. With the continuous development of science and technology, it is a step by step toward our lives. Lei Feng network has reported the emergence of the world’s first quantum computer bridge, and if the future quantum computer can be widely put into use, many industries will be subverted, such as pharmacology, artificial intelligence. rk73z1ettp

Microsoft believes that the company from the “development of basic quantum building block” goal is close enough, the company’s engineering manager Todd Holmdahl said, “At present, Microsoft has been able to design basic quantum bit component unit, do a good job to develop a complete quantum Computer preparation. ”

Researchers are faced with the challenge of developing quantum computers that can actually be put into use, and Microsoft’s approach to entry is somewhat different from that of its rivals. The company’s approach is based on “anyons”. An arbitrary child is a particle in 2D that can be used to construct a supercomputer’s modules and to excite the physical properties of subatomic atoms.

Is it possible to have a quantum computer perform a practical calculation? Physicists and computer scientists are debating this issue. In some research projects, researchers have tried to create quantums with different materials. Microsoft chose topological quantum computing. Three scientists this year won the Nobel Prize in physics, they believe that particles may be able to 2D form, and Microsoft’s approach is based on this as the basis.

“The combination of semiconductors and superconductors is our secret,” says the R & D team. Microsoft has recently made substantial progress in controlling materials that can be used to form qubits, which are very close to the goal of keeping quantum computing temperatures at absolute zero. h5gq2h24mfr-t2c

In fact, as early as 2005, Microsoft has begun to study quantum computing technology. At that time Microsoft also quietly set up a “Station Q” laboratory, is responsible for digital home Michael Freedman. Now Microsoft is determined to jump out of pure academic research, plans to spend huge resources development of quantum computer prototype products, and IBM and Google and other technology giants together this piece.

However, the current number of algorithms to go beyond the number of computers is still relatively small. From the early Shor “s algorithm we may see a glimmer of hope that future quantum computing can be used to break the crypto-ness. Once this research is achieved, not only will the entire physical world undergo drastic changes in people’s lives We will be able to speed up the search through the quantum computer database, the implementation of machine learning algorithm.This will become the computer vision and speech recognition technology, a major positive for the future of electronic commerce will be a breakthrough, .

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) – Samsung Electronics (Nasdaq: SAMS) today announced it has acquired NewNet Communications (RCS), a Canadian-based company that may be developing its own RCS standard messaging applications. One such application is Apple’s iMessage.

Samsung’s previous mobile messaging application, Chaton, had a large number of users in a period of time, but in the end in front of competitors eclipsed. ChatON launched in 2011, four years later in March 2015 was closed. In the meantime, the application of active users to a large number of WhatsApp, Viber and WeChat competitors. SS2B003

After the acquisition of NewNet, Samsung may consider re-development of a chat platform. In the acquisition statement, Samsung said consumers will “benefit from advanced messaging experiences such as enhanced call features, group chat, easy sharing and transfer of large files and high-definition photos,” which apparently implies RCS support is part of the program . 2ST5949

Interestingly, Samsung’s interest may not be for Galaxy users to develop proprietary messaging applications, but the development can be widely used, and perhaps cross-platform applications.

From Intel’s 2013, 2014 and 2015 10-k file, Apple in the past few years accounted for less than 10% of Intel revenue. Intel’s revenue in recent years, about 60 billion US dollars, fully proved that Apple can not chip to Intel 300 dollars per chip.

In addition, if TSMC OEM Apple Mac processor, then the resulting revenue will be greater than their foundry A series of processors to get more revenue. In fact, this assumption is not established. ms27110

Last year, Apple shipped about 212 million Apple iPhone, iPad shipments in 45.59 million, while the Mac shipments at the same time only 18.484 million.

As for the chip area, in fact, Mac use of the Intel processor area and no more than the iPhone or iPad to play a lot. The A10 Fusion processor uses TSMC’s 16-nanometer process, which has an area of ​​125 square millimeters and an A9X of 147 square millimeters. For TSMC, such a chip really is not small, even if the Mac using the chip size is twice the iPad, TSMC won these orders is actually equivalent to about 36 million iPad processor can bring the camp Received.

TSMC’s 2015 10-F document shows that they currently have two very large customers, one of which is naturally Apple. In 2015 the two major customers accounted for TSMC total revenue of 16% share, that in 2015 Apple TSMC (foundry A8, A8X and part of the A9 chip) to create revenue of approximately $ 4.12 billion.

And about 18 million Mac processors to create revenue is unlikely to be close to foundry other chips to TSM C brings revenue. In fact, even if TSMC each Mac chip to add $ 50 (this hypothesis is still a bit high), that its annual revenue to be less than $ 1 billion. 20t201da2

TSMC’s annual revenue of about 300 billion US dollars, 1 billion US dollars for them is 3.33% growth rate, although earn some money, but for them is not an important turning point. In fact, for TSMC, from the previous can only achieve a little A9 orders to this year won the A10 Fusion chip compared to its attractiveness should be bigger than to get Mac orders.

With the July, the US regulatory authority FCC announced the first US 5G frequency plan, breaking the wait-and-see attitude of the industry, the global 5G frequency of identification and reunification into a substantive stage. Recently, the European Commission Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG) and on November 10 released the European 5G spectrum strategy to determine the initial deployment of 5G spectrum.

Strategy to promote 5G system in 2020 to large-scale commercial in Europe, the European Commission asked RSPG 5G spectrum strategy. RSPG on June 8, 2016 to develop a 5G spectrum strategy draft, in the EU-wide open for comments on July 31, 2016 after the end of comments, RSPG after three months of research and consultation, in November 10, 2016 The official release of the EU 5G spectrum strategy, including:

3400-3800MHz frequency band is the main frequency band of 5G deployment before 2020 in Europe, the bandwidth of continuous 400MHz is advantageous to the European Union in global 5G disposition takes the initiative. 50yxf100mce8x11.5

1GHz band, especially 700MHz will be used for 5G wide coverage.

The band above 24GHz is the potential band in Europe 5G, RSPG will be based on the frequency of the existing business and the frequency of more than 24GHz frequency band to develop a timetable.

It is recommended that the band 24.25-27.5GHz be the European 5G band and recommend that the EU determine the conditions for use of this band by 2020. It is recommended that EU member states ensure that a portion of the 24.25-27.5GHz band can be used to meet 5G market demand by 2020.

The RSPG will study the protection of existing satellite earth exploration services, fixed-satellite services, inter-satellite links, and passive services in the 24.25-27.5 GHz band.

31.8-33.4GHz is also a potential 5G band for Europe, RSPG will continue to study the applicability of this band, the proposed phase to avoid the transfer of other services to this band to ensure that this band in the future to facilitate planning for the 5G.

40.5-43.5GHz in the long term can be used for 5G system, it is recommended to avoid other business at this stage to migrate to this band to ensure that this band in the future to facilitate planning for the 5G.

RSPG will develop relevant technical and regulatory measures to ensure the use of 5G system. The RSPG will also study spectrum planning for IOT and ITS.

5G spectrum and 5G standards, the more consistent the world, the better the scale. The other side of this advantage is the strength of the participants, want to be able to guide this consistency, so that their interests to maximize the relevant industries. 6437288-2

July 14, 2016, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) five members unanimously by more than 24GHz about 11GHz (3.85GHz authorized spectrum: 27.5G-28.35GHz, 37G-38.6GHz, 38.6G-40GHz and 7GHz unlicensed spectrum : 64G-71GHz) High-band spectrum resources for 5G deployment.

European Commission on September 14 announced a detailed 5G action plan for the 5G spectrum planning, the European Commission proposed by the end of 2016 with the Member States can be used for pre-5G service pioneer band, consider the European Commission Radio Frequency Policy Advisory Group RSPG (Radio Spectrum Policy Group), the Pioneer band list should include at least three spectrum bands: less than 1GHz, 1GHz-6GHz, and more than 6GHz band to meet the needs of 5G different applications. At the same time the European Commission proposed with the member states at the end of 2017 on a set of spectrum program agreement (including below and above 6GHz frequency band), promote the European 5G network initial commercial deployment.

In addition, work will be carried out in Europe for a specific 5G spectrum license issued more than 6GHz mode, the relevant technical requirements will be studied by the CEPT and completed by the end of 2017. European Commission Radio Spectrum Policy Adviser Working Group RSPG on July 31 this year to complete the public on the 5G spectrum soliciting opinions in the low-frequency focus on 700MHz, 3400M-3800MHz, high-frequency 24.5G-27.5GHz, 31.8G -33.4 GHz and 40.5 G to 43.5 GHz. 5G deployment from the EU point of view does not favor the millimeter-wave band, but from different low, medium and high frequency to meet the needs of different 5G.

TSMC actively promote the advanced process, on the 8th board of directors approved the capital budget of about NT $ 154.63 billion, including the construction and expansion of advanced process capacity, upgrade the advanced packaging capacity to the next generation of technology, and the first quarter of 2017 R & D capital budget and regular Capital budget, since November 2016 will continue to invest.

TSMC’s overall capital spending this year will exceed 9.5 billion US dollars a new high, is expected next year, capital spending is still high. TSMC said in a previous conference, 10-nanometer advanced process will be the end of this year into mass production, shipments in the first quarter of next year will be able to contribute to revenue; 7-nanometer process progress is good, performance and power consumption are leading opponents, Quarter trial production, first quarter of 2018 production. 2SC2694
