Machine vision helps display smart manufacturing will unlock hundreds of billions of business opport

  To realize "Made in China 2050" and complete the transformation from a manufacturing country to a manufacturing power, intelligent manufacturing is the main direction. Looking at today's flat panel display industry (FPD), it only took more than 20 years from CRT (plasma) to LCD (liquid crystal) to OLED (organic light-emitting diode). It is this technological change that has prompted The market continues to develop. New electronic products such as smart watches, car monitors, AR (augmented reality), and VR (virtual reality) are beginning to emerge. Terminal products such as mobile phones, computers, and TVs are becoming more and more intelligent and high-end, and life is becoming more and more sophisticated. Convenience and better human-computer interaction experience. The realization process of intelligent manufacturing is inseparable from machine vision. Machine vision is a necessary means to achieve industrial automation and intelligence, which is equivalent to the extension of human vision on machines.

The OLED market explodes, and equipment companies are facing a wave of business opportunities
. As we all know, China is a big market. Whoever has the technology and seizes the opportunity will win the market. The same is true for testing equipment manufacturers. Because in the entire production process of flat panel display devices, the testing process is very important and can be found in every link. Therefore, it can be said that testing is an essential link in each process of flat panel display device production. At present, market investment is turning to new display technology OLED. It is predicted that the Chinese market will achieve a major explosion in 2019, which is an opportunity and a challenge for equipment manufacturers. As Chinese panel manufacturers have stepped in and increased investment, the global OLED market size will reach 20-30 billion US dollars this year, and investment in OLED automated testing equipment will reach 5-6 billion yuan, and will continue to grow in the next 2-3 years. According to the testing and analysis results of relevant institutions, due to some differences between the production process of OLED and LCD, the AOI equipment required for an OLED line is about 1.5-2 times that of an LCD line. Therefore, the demand for testing equipment from 2017 to 2019 is compared to There was a 4-5 times improvement in 2016. Among them, the market demand for OLED testing equipment from 2017 to 2019 was 5.6 billion yuan, 6.5 billion yuan, and 6.3 billion yuan respectively, and that of LCD was 12.1 billion yuan, 15.6 billion yuan, and 20.5 billion yuan respectively.
In the era of smart manufacturing, machine vision has huge development potential.
The global machine vision industry is mainly distributed in North America, Europe and Japan, with North America accounting for 62%, Europe accounting for 15%, and Japan accounting for 10%. China's machine vision-related industries started late, but have developed rapidly. Since 2009, they have entered a period of rapid development, with an annual growth rate of about 15-20%. At present, China has become the world's third machine vision market after the United States and Japan. In 2015, its market size reached 2.2 billion yuan, with a global share of 8.3% and a growth rate of 22.2%, much higher than the global average. According to data from the "Machine Vision Industry Development Prospects and Investment Forecast Analysis Report" released by the Qianzhan Industry Research Institute, if the industry grows at an average annual growth rate of about 16% in the next few years, it is expected that by 2020, the market size of my country's machine vision industry will exceed 15 billion yuan, reaching 17.9 billion yuan by 2022.
China's machine vision market has ushered in a golden period of development.
For China, the earliest emerging field of mid-stream panels was initially led by BOE, which then attracted a large number of companies such as Longteng Optoelectronics, China Star Optoelectronics, Tianma Microelectronics, Hehui Optoelectronics, and Visionox. The participation of enterprises has enabled the domestic flat-panel display industry to achieve rapid development, attracting many foreign companies to rush into the market. Testing equipment manufacturers such as Radiant Optical Systems of the United States and Orbotech of Israel have achieved remarkable results in the country. This also means that China's machine vision market has undoubtedly ushered in a golden development period.
