On November 30, Yilong Electronics held a chip launch conference on "Safety and Trustworthy·Yibulongci" at the Shangri-La Hotel in Shenzhen.
At this press conference, Yilong Electronics Chairman Ye Yihao, Vice President Xu Muliang, UDian Vice Chairman Xuan Mingzhi, PB Greater China Director Chen Zhaoyi, Doujia Marketing Director Cheng Tangping and other corporate representatives delivered keynote speeches, focusing on Yilong's annual market planning, the development of the fingerprint chip market, fingerprint algorithm patent issues, and the future trends of the mobile payment market, and jointly promote the development of the fingerprint recognition industry. Ye Yihao, chairman of Yilong Electronics, said that Yilong Electronics' future layout is mainly to provide chip design and system integration solutions, involving three aspects, including the Internet of Things, smart cities and smart homes.
has five clear production lines for its chip design. Yilong Electronics mainly uses touch chips and fingerprint recognition modules; Yijing Technology provides 360-degree panoramic fisheye correction IC and a control chip for the driving assistance system of the ambient image; Yiming Technology provides 3D gesture sensing recognition chips; Yichuan Technology focuses on broadband and home networks; Dasheng Electronics is mainly responsible for home automation and ZigBee wireless lighting; Yishuo Technology mainly integrates front and rear view 180-degree fisheye cameras, 360-panoramic fisheye cameras, ambient image driving assistance system and long-distance point feeding network network extender, etc.
In addition to the all-round layout of the production line, Yilong Electronics' technical accumulation in the field of touch also provides support for the breakthrough and improvement of fingerprint recognition technology. According to Ye Yihao, Yilong Electronics' self-container touch screen solution Smart-Touchscreen™ has features such as suspended control, glove control, high waterproofing, gesture wake-up and 2mm pencil. It has reached the first market share in the global laptop market, and has used this active pen anti-noise technology on fingerprint chips. The market share of its multi-finger touch solution Smart-ClickpadTM also reached the second in the world, and its Smart-PointingStickTM solution also reached the first in the world market share, and replicated the successful experience of pressure sensing technology in the pressure sensing fingerprint. The world's largest capacitive technology, which is the world's first in large-size touch control, is used in fingerprint solutions, giving customers the most complete and mature fingerprint solutions.
Then, Xu Muliang, deputy general manager of Yilong Electronics, analyzed the current situation of the mobile phone fingerprint industry in 2017 and the market position of with 8"0.18μm fingerprint chip production capacity. He pointed out that matte coating accounts for half of the market, and glass and ceramic covers will each be divided into a quarter of the market. Yilong Electronics has launched high-end and mid-range fingerprint separation for products with payment and non-payment to meet the competitive market price of fingerprint modules next year. And for this year's Android version, it has turned TEE trustworthy execution environment into standard configuration. Yilong has developed and Complete mass production can correspondingly expand the promotion of overseas markets next year.
For the wafer market, Yilong Electronics has become the world's largest market share in the microcontroller and touch chips in the consumer electronics field. The monthly microcontroller shipments are 100 million, and the monthly production capacity of fingerprint chips exceeds 10KK, which is also benefiting from the support of two wafer manufacturers.
is based on the tight production capacity of 8-inch wafers. Compared with its competitors, TSMC and SMIC are full, Yilong Electronics chooses Taiwan UMC. South Korea's Magnachip not only avoids the 8" 0.18μm wafer mainly composed of LCD driver ICs, power ICs and MCU single chips, but also chose the 8" 0.35μm process with high resource and cost advantages, and gained the competitive advantage of the 8-inch wafer product development fingerprint chip market. At the press conference, Vice Chairman Xuan of UMC invited Vice Chairman Xuan to stand up. Vice Chairman Xuan said that Mr. Yilong Ye had given great help to Vice Chairman Xuan in his work in the Institute of Technology Research. , Now in terms of wafers, it must strongly support Yilong's production capacity.
In terms of patents, Xu Muliang said that Yilong Electronics' passive patent technology for treating stray capacitors achieves the best effect, and only a single chip is needed to achieve high penetration of high light. Also because Yilong uses self-capacity fingerprint technology, when applying a high-voltage chip, the signal can be accumulated with the internal self-signal signal, making the penetration stronger support the cover solution.It is also because Yilong's entire series of products use 14-bit ADCs, and the cover plate solution has the advantages of high anti-oil and anti-humidity finger performance and high noise resistance. At the same time, Yilong's cooperation with Swedish manufacturer Precise Biometrics is also based on patent issues. Therefore, the cooperation between Yilong Electronics and PB has to some extent avoided the patent dilemma encountered by domestic peers. It is worth mentioning that as a partner, Yilong Electronics also added points to PB at the press conference, telling the story of Samsung signing the PB algorithm .
According to Xu Muliang, Yilong Electronics once accused Xinsi of infringement with a multi-critic touch patent in 2006. In October 2008, the two parties signed an interactive license agreement. Yilong Electronics obtained five patents with one patent, and Xinsi paid $15 million in patent licensing fee. Then in 2009, Apple sued Apple for infringement with the same patent. Finally, Apple paid Yilong Electronics $5 million in 2012 to reach a settlement. Regarding the patent, Yilong Electronics Chairman Mr. Ye pays great attention to and escorts customers.
In addition to the speeches of Yilong Electronics' own representatives, the wafer factory UMC, algorithm company PB, Microsoft , Doujia Payment, etc., are Yilong's partners, and they also come to the Yilong press conference for Yilong. It also proves Yilong's credibility on in the supply chain.
It is understood that the PB algorithm has been applied in 186 different models of smartphone products in Greater China, more than 40 mobile phone brands manufacturers, Huawei , Coolpad, Google , etc.
Benefiting from the close cooperation with Microsoft in the NB and laptop fields, Yilong Electronics became the first fingerprint chip manufacturer to pass Microsoft certification, mainly for false fingerprint authentication. For fake fingerprints, you need to have the ability to distinguish and verify the fake fingerprint. At the same time, it also mass-produces a full range of fingerprint laptop solutions, such as: combining fingerprints with power key, combining mouse board, back cover, etc.
Finally, there is a powerful core fingerprint technology behind Yilong Electronics' complete planning and layout. Lin Weizhen, marketing technology manager of Yilong Electronics, introduced the three-in-one chip Smart-IDTM fingerprint, pressure sensing and virtual key virtual key three-in-one high-end solution. The entire series of chips adopts high-resolution 14-bit ADC high-pitched noise and high oil-proof sewage, as well as a passive patented sensing circuit that effectively eliminates parasitic capacitance without the need for high-voltage circuits. The single IC has strong penetration and is more competitive.
Compared with its competitor Yilong Electronics, it uses an 8-inch 0.35μm process to produce fingerprint chips. Foundry in South Korea and Taiwan, with abundant production capacity. Shenzhen and Shanghai have strong FAE teams, providing complete production testing support and services to give customers a safe and trustworthy and righteous solution.
