5. Touch Module Revenue Forecast New technologies for mid- to large-size applications expected. Projected capacitive for mobile phone and iPad-like products driving 2010 revenue. Optical imaging with higher ASPs contributes to revenue, however volume is not high yet. Source: DisplaySearch 2010 Touch Panel Market Analysis Report
6. Touch Panel Shipment by Technology Projected capacitive is growing rapidly, mostly in mobile phones/PCs. Resistive is losing momentum in mobile phones. On-cell reached good yield rates (70-89%) at end of 2009. In-cell expected to take off in 2011. Optical imaging is being used for all-in-one PCs (61%) and education (25%). Combo had good growth in 2009 since it was adopted into notebook PCs; faces competition from P-CAP in 2010 and beyond. Source: DisplaySearch 2010 Touch Panel Market Analysis Report
7. Touch Panel Shipment by Technology There are many competing touch technologies with no perfect solution. Choice of technology is highly dependent on application and/or size requirements. Few of today’s touch technologies are used in high-volume applications. Resistive and projected capacitive are considered the mature technologies. Vertical applications have high margins, but CE and IT have volume, driving cost and capacity.

14. Market Analysis Summary Technology Resistive Resistive will retain 86% share of shipments through 2015; however, resistive revenue share will drop from 78% in 2007 to 64% in 2015. Resistive multi-touch is becoming more common. Projective Capacitive Projected Capacitive ranked #2 in 2009, forecast #1 in 2010, but the field is getting crowded. Projected Capacitive market share is growing; expanding to larger sizes made with film type materials. Projected Capacitive is now being produced in single layer or film and can cover sizes greater than 100 inches. Optical Imaging Optical imaging is growing – Opportunity is with sizes over 10.” Optical imaging is limited for all-in-one PCs
15. Market Analysis Summary Applications Touch penetration in mobile phones is more than 30% and growing. Mobile phones will account for 34% and 21% of all touch panel shipments and revenues respectively, through 2015. Shipments of touch enabled phones will reach 223 million units by 2015 Both pen and finger input are gaining momentum, especially for consumer products. Slate/tablet PCs and touch enabled pocket projectors are on the rise. Displays for e-books and other portable units must be sunlight readable. Source: Lightblueoptics.com
16. Market Analysis Summary Value Chain Many suppliers from varying industries are moving to projected capacitive. Glass-based projected capacitive driving changes in value chain. 2-in1 glass and in/on cells technologies may impact future value chain. Vertical integration and module production capacity expansion are key strategies. Demand for controller ICs and semiconductor companies is growing. Industry opportunities include developing ITO replacements, new/better touch technologies, advanced touch software and controller ICs and emerging applications. Source: Lightblueoptics.com
17. Market Analysis Summary Complexity New technologies can create new applications. Application demands will sustain several technologies. Multi-touch software is in high demand due to multi-touch growth. Source: Microsoft.com/surface
18. Summary Pricing Touch screen revenues will increase from $4.3 B in 2009 to $13 B by 2016; touch industry is growing 10 times faster than display industry. The overall average selling price of touch panels will increase nearly 8% between 2007 and 2015. In many applications, increases in panel sizes and functionality mix will offset price declines for older panels. For projected capacitive pricing to become more competitive, lower-cost technologies (such as single substrate, transparent conductor patterning, on-cell) are needed. Source: 3M

29. Projected Capacitive Technology The most recent addition to projected capacitive technology is Multi-Touch Multi-Touch Projected Capacitive Sensor
30. Projected Capacitive Technology There are Two Projected Capacitive Sensing Methods: Self-Capacitance (Rarely Used Now) Mutual Capacitance (Most Common) Mutual – How it Works Contains grid of sensing and driving lines to determine touch location. Makes use of the fact that most conductive objects are able to hold a charge if they are very close together. If another conductive object, like a finger, bridges the gap, the charge field is interrupted and detected by the microcontroller, resulting in a touch. Mutual Capacitance , compared to self-capacitance makes it easier to identify the specific touch points.
31. Projected Capacitive Technology Scanning Projected Capacitive touch screens are “scanned”, meaning they are made up of a matrix of rows and columns that are “read” one by one to get a reading or count. How it Works To get an exact coordinate, the results from several row/column intersections are read and the counts are used to triangulate the exact touch location. Benefits The touch points are extremely precise and the resolution is usually 1024 by 1024 (ten bit). Scanning also has an advantage of being free of coordinate drift. Without the issue of coordinate drift, projected capacitive touch screens do not have to be calibrated by the end-user.
