On November 24th, Beijing time, the Mini/Micro LED equipment market "competes with hundreds of thousands". The LED display, especially the Mini/MicroLED display market is surging, and the Mini/Micro LED equipment under the new cycle is reaching a new turning point.
The direction of the Mini/MicroLED era has been set, and the ups and downs of the industrial chain and crossovers moving by the wind are surging. As far as equipment companies are concerned, whether high-efficiency and high-quality matching Mini/Micro LED mass-produced products can be delivered to ensure the high stability and consistency of the equipment. It has become whether equipment companies can gain a foothold in Mini/Micro LED. , The key to gaining greater market share.
From the perspective of the overall industrial development environment, on the one hand, the LED display industry chain companies have built and expanded Mini/Micro LED production capacity on a large scale in the past two years, bringing explosive growth opportunities to equipment companies. But at the same time, how to deliver quickly and with high quality has also become the main pressure facing equipment companies this year.
On the other hand, the large-scale mass production of Mini/Micro LEDs has started, and there are more stringent requirements on the equipment side in terms of production quality, efficiency and product quality. Mini LEDs are used in die bonding, testing and sorting, dispensing, inspection and repair, etc. In the process, Micro LED's urgent need for high-precision, high-speed and high-stability equipment in terms of massive transfer, inspection and repair, etc. is putting pressure on the technology RD and production of equipment companies.
"Mini LED die-bonding equipment has higher requirements for accuracy and speed in terms of direct display; in terms of backlight, more requirements are placed on the size of the equipment to adapt to the board." The relevant person in charge of Xinyichang, the leader of Mini die-bonding equipment, said Chang always insists on researching and developing based on the existing mature technology, constantly updating and iterating, improving the quality of core components, and promoting the continuous improvement of equipment in accuracy, speed and yield.
Tuo Changchuan, chairman of Biaopu Semiconductor, also believes that Mini/Micro will undergo major changes in 3 to 5 years in the future, and Biaopu has prepared for the rise of the Mini LED market.
Cheng Wei, general manager of Dewo Automation, also admitted that in the field of Mini backlight, a certain amount of technology research and development will be invested.
2021 is regarded as the first year of Mini LED commercialization by the industry, and many equipment manufacturers have launched their own leading products in the Mini LED field.
Jiyang Vision continues to innovate in Mini LED and other fields, and has launched a variety of Mini LED inspection equipment, which has been successfully applied to many head manufacturers.
Lai Li, general manager of Jiyang Vision, mentioned, "Faced with the rapid development of the Mini LED market, the company continues to increase its independent RD investment, continuously strengthens key core technology research, and actively deploys Mini LED related module testing and technical research."
Changlin Automation also launched its flagship product CL-920T online high-precision dispenser in the field of Mini dispensers.
It is understood that CL-920T is equipped with Changlin's automatic Dianjiao intelligent control system, including a CCD visual positioning system, and its online automatic assembly line dispensing operation, effectively reducing the process of workers putting and taking materials. At the same time, it also has the function of continuous compensation for points, lines, surfaces, arcs, circles, and irregular curves. The size of the glue, the speed of glue, the time of glue, and the time of glue stop can be parameterized, and the glue quantity is stable without dripping. glue.
In the most critical field of inspection and repair, the head equipment manufacturer Mengtuo Intelligent Mini/Micro LED full-function, fully automatic inspection and repair equipment has been applied by more than 60 percent of mainstream manufacturers.
It is understood that the main customers of Mengtuo's intelligent Mini/Micro-LED inspection and repair equipment include BOE, Lehman, Jingtai, Unilumin, National Star, Dongshan Precision, Sanan, Lianjian and other leading manufacturers.
"The focus of our closed{{0}}loop management system 2.0 is to achieve Mini/Micro-LED process quality control and ultimate quality control, and even prevent quality problems." Tang Yangshu, chairman of Mengtuo Intelligence, said that the focus of this system revolves around Mini LED AOI The appearance inspection equipment, Mini/Micro LED lighting inspection equipment and Mini/Micro LED full-function, fully automatic rework equipment are three equipments in operation.
Mini/MicroLED is entering a new cycle of capacity construction, and the scarcity of high-quality and high-end equipment suppliers will become increasingly prominent. The improvement of equipment performance and the decrease of cost will be the direction of the equipment enterprises' efforts in the future.
In this context, on December 10-11, the 2021 high-tech LED annual meeting, titled by Powerful Jucai, was held at the Hyatt Hotel in Shenzhen Airport. Equipment manufacturers including Xinyichang, Biaopu Semiconductor, Mengtuo Intelligence, Keg Precision Machinery, Taigong Technology, Han's Optoelectronics, Shengding Precision, etc. will attend the annual meeting and deliver keynote speeches, Dewo Automation, Changlin Automation, Huateng Semiconductors, etc. will also bring their main equipment to attend this year's high-tech LEDE annual meeting.
