On August 18, 2022, World Semiconductor Conference & Expo 2022 was successfully held in Nanjing International Expo Center. With the theme of "World Core, Future Dream", Qun Luo, Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of Nanjing Municipal People's Congress and Deputy Secretary of the Party Group, Yu Chi, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Jiangsu Province, Xiekang Yu, Vice Chairman of China Semiconductor Industry Association, Christopher Millward, President of the United States Information Industry Organization (USTIO), and Jianhua Shan, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China Nanjing Branch, delivered speeches for the conference respectively.
In the afternoon, 2022 World Semiconductor Conference Innovation Summit was successfully held in China Hall of Nanjing International Expo Center. At the end of the conference, the conference released the "2022 China IC High Quality Development 'Two Excellent and One First' Selection Result". In the award ceremony of 2022 China's leading companies in IC market and applications, Epticore Microelectronics (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd, as a leading optical sensor company in mainland China, won the award of "Most Influential Company in China's Semiconductor Optoelectronic Sensor Market in 2021-2022" by virtue of its breakthrough and innovation in optoelectronic sensing technology.
About Eoticore
Epticore was founded in 2011. Its headquarters and production and operation base are located in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, with R&D and marketing centres in Shanghai and permanent offices in Shenzhen, Beijing and Changsha. The company has fully mastered the core technical capabilities of chip-level optical converters in design, process, packaging, testing and related algorithms, and has dozens of invention patents. Its products cover optical sensors (including narrow slit and under-display sensors), heart rate sensors, colour temperature sensors, and single point and array TOF sensors, which can be used in mobile phones, tablet PC, smart wearable devices, artificial intelligence, internet of things, automotive electronics and other fields.
Epticore optical sensor products have been tested and verified by many branded mobile phone, tablet PC and wearable customers, and have achieved the cumulative shipment of 100KK level (100 million pieces), which can meet customers' standards and demands in the core indexes of optical conversion efficiency, ultra-low power consumption, ultra-small size and reliability. With the development of full-screen mobile phones, the slit or light transmission rate that can be transmitted will become smaller and smaller, therefore, this requires the design, process, coating and algorithm to match and adjust accordingly to accurately distinguish different light sources and improve the optical conversion efficiency. In addition, in the context of rapid updates and iteration of smart wearable devices and differentiated competition, the ultra-low power consumption and ultra-small size of sensors have raised higher requirements. Epticore optical sensors can detect micro-currents at the FEA level, and some indicators such as light sensitivity have surpassed similar foreign brands. Currently, Epticore has more than 20 series of optical sensors to achieve mass production. And the products can be widely used in various consumer and intelligent electronic products.
Dr. Bizhou Li, Chairman of Epticore, said that in 2022, Epticore will officially enter the field of automotive electronics, and its product line will involve three business modules: intelligent cabin, human-machine interaction and intelligent driving. The core technology and innovation of chips and algorithms accumulated in the field of optoelectronic intelligent sensing for many years will be expanded to the new track of automotive electronics to provide customers with competitive intelligent software and hardware solutions.
