CMOS image sensors (CIS) have become key components of the semiconductor industry. This is not only because of the technology involved and the revenue it generates, but also because it is now impossible to imagine a smartphone, a car or even a house without numerous enabling cameras. The CIS industry reached $13.9B in 2017 and Yole Developpement (Yole) is expecting a CAGR of 9.4% for the next 5 years, as shown in the newly released report “Status of the CMOS Image Sensor Industry 2018”.

Global society is currently impacted by huge megatrends that will shape tomorrow’s industry. These megatrends offer impressive business opportunities for electronics, especially sensors and MEMS.

“MicroLED displays could potentially match or exceed OLED performance in all critical attributes,” comments Dr. Eric Virey, Senior Technology & Market Analyst at Yole Développement (Yole). It includes brightness, contrast, color gamut, refresh rate, viewing angle, ruggedness and durability, resolution and pixel density, lifetime, power consumption etc.
Yole and its partner Knowmade, both part of Yole Group of Companies release two microLEDs reports to reveal the status of the technology and give a deep understanding of the industry, the companies involved and the related supply chain. MicroLED Displays 2018 and MicroLED Displays: Intellectual Property Landscape are now available. A detailed description is available on i-micronews.com, Displays section.

The market for infrared (IR) light sources is not new, but has evolved rapidly with the recent development of Solid-State Lighting (SSL). Initially developed for optical communication applications, LEDs and laser diodes started to be integrated into high-volume applications (like remote controls for IR LEDs or data centers for laser diodes…) in the 1980s/1990s. But it’s only recently, with the development of smartphones, that IR LEDs and laser diodes have come back to prominence. And now, the market is set for growth for the next 10 years as the automotive sector, among other emerging applications, is also implementing high-value functions using those light sources.

An article written by Rebecca Pool for CompoundSemiconductor. net - As more and more wide bandgap semiconductors reach electric vehicle markets, industry can expect rapid power module package development, reports Compound Semiconductor.

Encouraged by five consecutive years of successful forums, which attracted more than 100 participants on average, Yole Développement was proud to collaborate with CIOE this year again, to organize 4 different forums on: Laser Manufacturing, InfraRed Imaging, LiDAR and 3D Sensing. The 4 executive forums offered the opportunity to learn from and network with the key players of the photonics industry.
