    The company manufactures tape-based flexible IC substrates (COF tape) required for LCD panel driver ICs, which are divided into two types of COF processing technologies: the semi-additive method and the subtractive method.

    LCD driver IC packaging requires high-density bonding technology, and depending on the packaging structure used, it can be classified into: TCP (Tape Carrier Package) three-layer tape-based advanced flip-chip film IC substrate packaging, COF (Chip on Film) two-layer tape-based advanced flip-chip film IC substrate flip-chip packaging, and COG (Chip on Glass) glass flip-chip packaging. Among them, the TCP process is similar to COF, but the crystals and pins it carries are suspended, making it unsuitable for bending, as there is a risk of pins breakage. The pins of COF are directly bonded to the tape, and the chip forms an eutectic bond with the tape. COF's tape is thinner and more flexible, allowing greater processing flexibility. COG involves directly soldering the product onto the LCD panel, which can save costs associated with the product's material tape.

    Market trend and Business prospect:1.Metal COF for Large-Sized Panels

    【Current Situation: War, Inflation, and Economic Stagnation Impacting Global Consumer Demand】

    * Global economic growth forecasts continue to be revised downward.

    * Ongoing wars and geopolitical conflicts are creating constant effects in the end-user electronics market.

    *TV and IT panel production value saw significant growth in 2020 and 2021, especially in 2021, with growth rates reaching 30-40%. However, since 2022, high growth market demand has declined, and in 2023, panel manufacturers have continued to cut production and reduce inventory.

    * It is expected that the panel market will return to traditional demand patterns in 2024, with a return to stable demand expected between 2025.

    【Future Outlook:• New Designs and Applications, Trend Remains Unchanged; Demand Delayed】

    * TV Panels – The trend from 4K to 8K is already evident, awaiting market demand.

    * Monitor/NB/Tablet Panels – Borderless applications are beginning to emerge, with designs shifting from COG to COF.

    * Automotive Panels – The adoption of COF design is starting to gain traction.

    Market Status and Business Prospect: 1 Metal COF for Small-sized Panels

    【Current Trends: Handheld Device Driver IC Design Trends】

    * The use of COP designs in mobile phone panels is increasing, leading to a continuous decline in the usage of COF.

    * Smartwatches and fitness bands, which incorporate health management functions, have become a growing trend, and the demand for COF in this sector is steadily increasing.

    【Future Trends: New Designs and Applications, No Change in Direction】

    * High-end Smartphones with Flexible OLED: COP usage is increasing, while 1-Metal COF usage is decreasing.

    * Mid-range Smartphones with Hard OLED/LTPS: 1-Metal COF is used for FHD TDDI/FTDDI, with some also using COG.

    * Low-end Smartphones: These panels typically use COG.

    * Wearable Panels: Due to frame design requirements, wearable device panels are gradually shifting from COG to 1-Metal COF, and the market demand continues to grow steadily.
