According to industrial and commercial market research, it is estimated that the global touch screen revenue in 2018 will rise to 31.9 billion US dollars. In the meantime, the capacitive touch screen occupies the first place in the industrial and commercial market share of the entire touch screen, and the industrial and commercial market capacity can be described as huge.
Undoubtedly, the touch screen has become a hot spot in the industrial and commercial market. In application, it is still dominated by smart phones. However, as the growth momentum of the smartphone industrial and commercial market slowed down in 2014, it entered a period of steep development. The application of touchscreens other than mobile phones, such as automotive electronics, retail, medical public facilities, leisure and entertainment, etc., will promote the rapid growth of the touchscreen industrial and commercial market.
In addition to the large-scale application, in the subdivision, more professional and more customized touch screens can also be vigorously innovated. For example, in the electronic information professional competition of the 2017 my country Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, a technology company in Xiamen carried out touch screen innovation in the field of "pen writing tablet". The products used have been extended to tablets with pen writing functions, e-books, all-in-one computers, and smooth whiteboards. The thick pen and the hand can be used at the same time, while the hand is touching, the pen can also write at the same time.
Another example is a technology limited liability company in Beijing that develops touchscreens that support arbitrary and complex curved surfaces, and can be used in the most promising fields of robots, smart homes, unmanned vehicles, and aviation.
Returning to the touch screen product itself, the future development direction is towards the requirements of lightness, flexibility, design characteristics, and environmental friendliness, which will affect the new generation of display industry.
The production materials are also constantly updated and iterated. The traditional material of capacitive touch screen is ITO, and the current alternative materials are mainly grids, nanosilver wires, carbon nanotubes, electric molecular graphene, etc. Metal mesh and nano-silver wire have more supporters, both of which are metals (silver or copper), and their electrical conductivity is better than IT0.
A science and technology team in Xiamen lives up to its name and uses a new material metal grid, which has lower resistance, can achieve larger scale, and can write touch screen data that can be touched. It represents the form of touch technology products in the future.
A science and technology team in Beijing, based on the concept of making everything tactile, pioneered the use of elastic wave technology to break three key problems, namely algorithms, circuits, and sensors. In the future, the displayed things will be presented in front of us in more forms, and human-computer interaction can be carried out everywhere.
As we are entering the era of artificial intelligence, it is necessary for intelligent hardware to have perception, that is, vision, hearing, and touch. At present, speech recognition and image recognition have achieved great breakthroughs. Many people have done the general tactile recognition, but there has not been a major breakthrough. We have developed a revolutionary, relatively general, low-cost intelligent tactile recognition technology.
Under the premise of social development in which cars and robots are regarded as the next mobile terminals, it may be the next consumer-level phenomenon that the touch screen has intelligent characteristics, and can automatically execute identification and positioning. This
Point, a technology team in Beijing did it.
New technologies are always presented in immature poses, but that may be the future, full of wonderful sci-fi scenes, new technologies are helping us get closer, better intelligent sensing experience, new technologies are helping us portray.
