Crystal Optoelectronics: At present, there are fewer mass production models equipped with AR-HUDs on the market, and the coverage rate will continue to increase in the future

Set micro network news, recently, crystal optoelectronics said in an institutional survey that the current market equipped with AR-HUD mass production models are relatively small, crystal optoelectronics is one of the enterprises that have been used, for the company, this is a very good starting point. From the perspective of the market demand for AR-HUD, as the degree of intelligent car driving is getting higher and higher, the market's requirements for driving comfort are also improving. It predicts that the huD as an interface for human-vehicle interaction will become more and more important, and the coverage rate of AR-HUD will continue to increase in the future.

In addition, when talking about the diffractive optical waveguide scheme of AR technology and the current main technical and mass production obstacles of the reflected optical waveguide scheme, Crystal Optoelectronics said that the diffracted optical waveguide and the reflected optical waveguide have their own advantages and disadvantages. Diffractive optical waveguide scheme uses a large number of lithography and micro-nano technology, the processing difficulty is relatively small, mass production, cost control is more operable, but the disadvantage is that the brightness, clarity is not enough, the imaging effect is not good; reflected optical waveguide is the current imaging effect, clarity of the most excellent program in various schemes, but the biggest problem is the need to use a large number of miniature prisms, PODs and other special-shaped optical parts and components products, processing difficulty is relatively high, it is difficult to do a large number of manufacturing, considering the market demand for consumer electronics in the future, It is also necessary to combine a large number of automation solutions to reduce the difficulty of processing, increase production capacity and reduce costs.

Crystal Optoelectronics added that the future diffractive optical waveguide solution needs to be developed in terms of image quality, improve brightness and clarity, and reflected optical waveguides need to be optimized in the process to better realize the manufacture of large-scale optical parts such as miniature prisms.

According to the data, Crystal Optoelectronics is mainly engaged in the design, development and manufacturing of optical optoelectronics industry, and its main products include precision thin-film optical components, biometric components, new display components, thin-film optical panels, reflective materials, etc.

At present, Crystal Optoelectronics' companies in Taizhou and Jiangxi are preparing more land to meet the needs of future capacity expansion. Its subsidiary Yeshili new factory area of 80 acres of land has been completed and is preparing for relocation work. Crystal Optoelectronics started the establishment of the Vietnamese production base in April this year, the factory has been completed in the basic construction and decoration, and the current management personnel and the first batch of local employees in Vietnam have been in place.

In terms of global layout, Crystal Optoelectronics has set up subsidiaries or offices in North America, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea to provide customers with better and more timely services. It invested in Japan Crystal, a wholly-owned subsidiary, and is the largest shareholder of Japan Guangchi. Japan Crystal is primarily responsible for the company's business development in the Asia-Pacific region, and the Vietnam plant is managed by Japan Crystal. Crystal Optoelectronics also set up an office in Singapore, and co-invested with Moveon to set up Jingmao Technology to make project reserves for the future development of new products facing specific major customers. In addition, Crystal Optoelectronics is also preparing to build the company's southern base in Dongguan, mainly around the layout of automotive electronics and AR/VR business.

Looking forward to the future, Crystal Optoelectronics said that the future growth logic of Crystal mainly comes from 4 aspects: First, the continuous improvement of the value of stand-alone machines, the products currently provided by the company in smart phones, from a single infrared cut-off filter, to narrowband filters, optical thin film panels, prisms and other products, there is still a lot of value space to be tapped in the field of mobile phones; second, the extension of the company's products from smart phones to smart cars, smart homes, intelligent security and other fields; third, Crystal from the manufacturer of components to the provider of optical solutions transformation and upgrading, crystal can provide customers with services and value continues to improve, customer stickiness is stronger; fourth, the continuous industrialization of research and development results, improve the gross profit margin space of crystal.
