An Acquisition And A Merged Technology Strategy

By Kenji Tsuda - 29 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

A single chip capable of performing two different functions can reduce the amount of wiring needed to just one layer and it can reduce time to market by simplifying the supply chain and the planning process. Nowhere is this more evident than in the LCD chip market, where two different manufacturers were used to supply chips for touch panels. But an effort to consolidate them into a single ch... » read more
