PROGRAM :
Historically driven by data communication applications, in the 2010s VCSEL began appearing in high-volume smartphone applications. The integration with sensors for proximity sensing and autofocus functions was only the beginning of VCSEL’s success story, and in 2017 Apple released the iPhone X, with a 3D sensing function based on VCSEL technology. In fact, the iPhone X integrates three different VCSEL dies for the proximity sensor and the Face ID module. This caused the VCSEL market to explode in 2017, with revenue jumping to ~$330M. Strong iPhone X sales have now triggered interest from other smartphone brands that are likely to integrate a 3D sensing function in future models.
So where does the VCSEL industrial landscape stand today? Is 3D sensing the killer application VCSEL has waited for? How can we further enhance the integration of VCSEL in sensors? Is intellectual property (IP) critical in this domain? Join Yole’s webcast for a discussion of these questions, and gain a better understanding of VCSEL business trends from several perspectives, including market and technology, reverse engineering/costing, and IP.
Yole Développement, System Plus Consulting and KnowMade invite you to watch this special webcast now.
The presentation will last 30 minutes and will be followed by a 30 minutes question and answer session with our analysts.
