Custom Technology & Market Briefing 5:
MEMS based displays market
MEMS based micro displays received a great deal of attention since
the DLP based products have started to generate substantial revenues
for Texas Instrument. Other companies are trying to enter this
promising market with similar or alternative concepts. How will the
MEMS-based micro display market develop within the next years? Is
anyone in the position to challenge TI? DLP revenues from Texas
Instrument declined by 8% in 2005 - does it indicate a major trend or
will MEMS based displays be able to compete with LCDs for TVs and
projectors? May other mass markets emerge such as reflective micro
system based displays or mini projectors for cell phones?
Core part of the briefing
- Overview of various MEMS technologies for displays:
- projection displays: Micro Mirror Arrays (e.g. DLP), line scan
(e.g. GLV), scanned beam displays (using single scanning micro mirror)
- reflective displays: interferometric Modulator (iMoD) and electrowetting (Liquavista)
- others e.g. optical shutters
- Applications today and in 2012
- Projection displays: RPTV, front projectors, palm size
projectors, micro and embedded projectors, head mounted displays and
viewfinders, head-up displays
- Reflective displays: cell phones, consumer electronics, clocks…
- Key technical requirements by applications: e.g. requirements on RGB lasers, modulation, frequency…
- Price requirements and expected price evolution (for MEMS devices and for display optical engines)
- Challenges and opportunities
- Emerging RGB lasers
- Opportunities with display optical engines
- Key players, latest developments
- Market forecasts, detailed by application
Principle of the custom market briefing
- You prepare your specific questions in advance (techniques and economics)
- We build on our existing knowledge and carry out additional specific research to answer your strategic questions (3 to 4 weeks)
- We present and discuss the result in a custom briefing at WTC in Munich, at your company or in a teleconference
