蘋果Apple Watch積極導入新世代Micro LED顯示器,傳找镎創、錸寶兩家台灣公司合作,由镎創提供Micro LED芯片,錸寶組裝成顯示器模塊,最快明年推出,打破韓廠長期壟斷蘋果產品顯示器供應的局面,未來可望再爭取iPhone等蘋果產品顯示器訂單。錸寶今年5月透過換股取得镎創約一成股權並策略聯盟,跨入Micro LED生產、研發與銷售,深度佈局穿戴裝置市場,雙方已完成Micro LED模塊開發,並在2019 SID展會公開亮相研發成果,如今傳出獲蘋果青睞,象徵台灣新世代顯示技術有重大突破,也是台廠首度拿下蘋果新世代顯示器應用訂單。
對於供貨蘋果Micro LED,镎創表示,不評論單一客戶。錸寶則說,旗下Micro LED模塊產線已經準備好了,瞄準3吋以下全彩Micro LED應用,目前確實有與美系智能手錶業者接洽中。錸寶表示,以過往經驗,與歐美客戶接洽新產品到量產上市,平均約要九個月,可能於本季敲定後,第4季開始準備量產,終端產品最快2020年問世。以此推斷,品牌廠採用Micro LED的新產品上市時程,都會落在明年。
業界分析,Apple Watch問世以來,都採用OLED顯示器,南韓樂金電子(LGD)為主要供貨商,錸寶、镎創攜手供貨Apple Watch,意味業界期盼已久的Micro LED技術邁入商品化階段,蘋果也將擺脫長期仰賴韓系業者供應顯示器的問題,錸寶與镎創有了Apple Watch供貨經驗,後續可望延伸至iPhone等產品。智慧手錶市場蓬勃發展,市調機構Strategy Analytics統計,去年全球出貨4,500萬支,創新高,年增逾53%,Apple Watch拿下五成市佔居冠,總量估逾2,250萬支。根據蘋果5月公佈的財報,「可穿戴設備和服務」佔比攀升,第2季營收比重近三成,包括Apple Watch、AirPods和Beats耳機等年增近50%,是增長最快的業務,蘋果樂觀預期,非iPhone類別收入將繼續強勁增長,對供應鏈有利。
業界認為,Micro LED在發光效率與屏幕光線使用效率都高於OLED,且更省電,大幅提升產品壽命與待機時間。尤其蘋果手錶新一代操作系統Watch OS 6最大特點是可以完全脫離iPhone,獨立運行使用,續航能力顯得更重要,Micro LED省電所帶來的長續航力,符合蘋果未來新應用趨勢。 (新聞來源:經濟日報)
