Photonics Festival in Taiwan 2008 showcases Island's dominance in multi billion $ industry |
| |
With more than 300 international exhibitors signed up to attend, this year's Photonics Festival from June11 through June 13 at Taipei World Trade Center will showcase again Taiwan's dominant position in many sectors of photonic technology and manuefacturing.
Grouping four exhibitions - OPTO / LED Lighting / SOLAR/ OPTICS Taiwan -and held simultaneously with Display Taiwan 2008, the largest FPD trading platform in Asia - Photonics Festival in Taiwan 2008 (PFT 2008) will also effectively bring down the curtain on the shows current venue in the Taipei World Trade Center's Hall 1 and prelude next year's event in the spacious new Exhibition Halls in Nangang, Taipei.
The two paired events now constitute a spectacular that is becoming increasingly specialized and innovative and that is primarily concerned with the promotion of photonics.
Exhibitors include leading Taiwanese players such as Lite-on, Everlight, KingBright, Asia-optical, Canon Taiwan as well as global key players such as Schott, Dow Corning, Newport, Nihon Garter, ASM, and Seoul semiconductor.
Solar Taiwan 2008 groups leading Taiwanese cell makers, such as Motech ( World's no. 6 cell maker), E-ton (the London City Hall solar cell supplier), Big Sun Energy, Tynsolar, Sinonar Solar (the first thin film maker in Taiwan) as well as overseas equipment suppliers like Ulvac and Festo. Boom times for the PV market have doubled the size of Solar Taiwan compared to the first exhibition of its kind in 2007.
Korea and Germany are the two featured countries at Display Taiwan this year and both will highlight their own successful FPD technology, products and manufacturing machinery in dedicated pavilions.

| Leading photonics companies to give talks at PFT 2008 Market & Technology conference |
| |
A series of Business & Technology conferences and an Exhibitors' seminar take place this year under the generic banner of Photonics Festival in Taiwan. PIDA, apart from its own experts, has invited a line-up of keynote speakers from both home and abroad to address various aspects of the local and international industry.
Topics range from technology development to market trends, industry dynamism, product design and an application overview with speakers from the LED sector including Liteon, Sony, Philips Lighting, Dow Corning, Matsushita Electric Works, China Solid State Lighting Alliance and ITRI.
Photovoltaics is represented by speakers from E-ton, Ulvac, Dupont, GP Solar, Arima Eco Energy, Abakus Solar AG, Taiwan Stock Exchange while optics is covered by Texas Instruments and the display by AUO, CMO, CPT, PVI, LGE, Corning Display and German Organic Electronics.
With a focus on the optoelectronics parts and components, Photonics Festival in Taiwan was initiated by PIDA in 1984 and is one of the industry's prime events for business discussion, new technology announcement and spotting future trends.

Norway Fjord Int'l AS seeking production partners in Taiwan |
| |
Norway Fjord Int'l AS held a meeting at PIDA this April, introducing the company and its innovative EASL DMD technology (Electrically Addressable Smectic Liquid Daylight Memory Displays) to Taiwan's leading display companies.
Fjord's EASL DMD technology offers substantial competitive advantages for outdoor display applications thanks to its high readability in all light conditions, as well as its memory effect, using no power (only for the pixels that are changed). Even if ITS is a huge market globally, this is only one out of many application and market segments for this technology. Within ITS only LED technology is competing, and EASL DMD has already proven greater yield and lower cost than LED VMS. Both for ITS application and in other applications such as those for displays for car dashboards, electric shelf labels and windows, glass walls and ceilings.
"The EASL DMD technology opens up for low-cost manufacturing of cells and modules in existing production lines of older generations, with only minor modifications", Mr. Thor Kamfjord, President & CEO, Fjord Int'l AS said during the presentation.
"The EASL DMD technology is not trying to compete with the current TFT LCD. Rather, it aims at the new application market such as outdoor, public display or automotive application", he added.
Mr. Thor Kamfjord, President & CEO, Fjord showed its see-through display at the meeting. The words shown in the module have remained for some five years without any power supply.
Mr. Kamfjord visited Taiwan five years ago to show ITS see-through display technology. This time, he retruned to seek production partner(s) for mass production of cells, modules and system integrators for end user products. "Our cells and modules have been test produced in both Sweden, Germany and USA. However, the most skilled and competitive partner will be found in Asia, preferably in Taiwan," Mr. Kamfjord indicated.
The EASL DMD technology was first developed in the 1980's and is now well documented and ready for production for the first applications – variable message signs (VMS) for ITS. R&D has been carried out by the company's own scientists and engineers and R&D institutions in Norway and USA. A limited series of LCD cells and modules are so far being produced by the Swedish company LC-Tec AB.
