Using our proprietary MagicMirror® technology, we offer a broad range of products to meet our customers' needs. Vision & PhilosophyFounded in 1992 at Hsinchu Science Industrial Park, Prime View is a subsidiary of the Yuen Foong Yu Group, which recruited domestic and international technology professionals in TFT-LCD in an effort to manufacture best-in-class TFT-LCD products at Prime View. Prime View began to construct Taiwan's first TFT-LCD production facility on October 1994. Located on the Stage III site of the Hsinchu Science Industrial Park, the 37,000m2 facility is the home to 11,000m2 clean rooms, as TFT-LCD process requires an extremely clean environment. The facility produced 6,000 pieces of 370mm * 470mm substrates in Q1, 1997. Each of the substrate can be cut to produce fifteen 5-inch or nine 6.4-inch LCD panels. As capacity continues to increase, the facility produces 48,000 pieces/month in 2003. Prime View successfully develop 2.45"/3.5"/5"/6.4"/6.5"/7"/8"/10.4" TFT-LCD display panel and gone into mass production. 2.45"/3.5" panels are designed for digital cameras, portable TV and V8, 6.4"/6.5"/7"/8"/10" are for DVD, GPS car navigation systems, portable TV, entertainment products and digital V8 and 6.4"/10.4" are for industrial products. The technical team from PVI has successfully developed over the years of outstanding products and process technology. The improvement of yields simplify and reduce the cost of manufacturing process. There is a revolutionary breakthrough. Besides, we have filed and received dozens of domestic and international patents. With promotion of technology and improvement of yields, Prime View will launch a series of high-quality products to meet domestic and international demand and meanwhile increase independence of Taiwan's electronic information market on domestic TFT-LCD supply in order to strengthen international competitiveness of the whole industry. TFT-LCD is a key part for electronic information products and its industry is considered to boom after IC design. According to a report by Nomura Research Institute in 1995, the global capacity of TFT-LCD reached 3.1 billion dollars. Due to the emerge of new products, such as PDA, portable PC, GPS car navigation systems, digital cameras and TFT-LCD TV, it is estimated the production value will grow by 20% annually. In addition, according to Industrial Economic and Knowledge Center, IEK, in 2001 TFT-LCD products accounted for 40.8% of display panel market scale and was estimated to grow to 60.7% of occupation rate. These statistics show the importance of TFT-LCD display panels. To catch the trend of consumer electronics, we are ready. Our goal-the world's top 3 small and medium sized TFT-LCD manufacturer. With three commitments(innovation, discipline and teamwork), we continue to develop highly-competitive products in order to expand applications. We will continuously promote our R&D technology, provide professional customization services; meanwhile we will integrate support services in each step of the design phase and strengthen marketing channels, for the world to applaud our company's wisdom. 电子书主流技术 E-ink电子墨水介绍2010-04-14 11:38:10　来源: 太平洋电脑网(北京)　跟贴 0 条 看新闻 电子墨水是一种革新信息被显示的新方法和技术。

像多数传统墨水一样，电子墨水和改变它颜色的线路是可以打印到许多表面，从弯曲塑料、聚脂膜、纸到布和传统纸差异是电子墨水在通电时改变颜色，并且可以显示变化的图像，象计算器或即那样的显示对肉眼看来电子墨水像一瓶普通墨水，但悬浮在电子墨水液体中有几百万个细小的微胶囊每个胶囊内部是染料和颜料芯片的混合物，这些细小的芯片可以受电荷作用为了能看见电子墨水的微胶囊，可以把它想象成清晰的塑料水球水球内包含几十个乒乓球，水球内充入的不是空气而是颜料水如果从顶部看水球，我们可以看到许多白色乒乓球悬浮在液体中，于是水球看起来呈白色从底部看水球，你只不过看到的是颜料水，于是水球看起来呈黑色如果你把几千个水球放到一个容器，并使这些乒乓球在水球的顶和底之间运动，你就能看到容器在改变颜色这就是电子墨水工作的基本原理事实上这些水球是100 微米宽的微胶囊在1平方英寸，大约包含10万个微胶囊如果在一页纸上打印电子墨水，则一个句子包含30多个微胶囊电子墨水是融合化学，物理和电子学的整体产生的一种新材料制造微胶囊本身仅涉及较简单的化学，可以比作做沙拉菜！微胶囊制成后被称为是一种胶质材料这材料是细小的固态颗粒，承担液态的物理性质。

于是微胶囊象传统墨水悬浮在液态“载媒体”，然而它将粘着到普通墨水可以用的任何表面并且可以用现有的丝网印刷工艺打印打印的微电子学技术改变了墨水颗粒的颜色并产生了字和图电子墨水有许多优点，包括易读性，柔性，易廉价制造和低功耗与其它显示技术相比，电子墨水的反射率和对比度较佳看起来它们像纸上的墨，是人们阅读和处理时感觉很舒服的媒休在亮光包括直射阳光下，其它显示材料感觉有些淡而难以阅读相反基于电子墨水的显示才真正容易看和读因为电子墨水是柔软的，它可以用到原先显示技术必须要用到刚劲坚硬和平的表面所不能用的地方电子墨水可以用到纸上，产生柔性书和报纸一样的显示效果它也可以打印到布上，或者打印到类似和其它电器非平面的奇形怪状的表面最后，电子墨水不同于其它显示工艺能保持图像达数周，而且不耗费任何额外的电能用其它显示技术，一旦图像可以停留在一处，并不需要额外的功率输入电子墨水的第一个产品是大面积Immedia显示Immedia 显示可以用在文本信息必须递送给大量观众的地方，例如另售商店、银行、贸易展览，午台等Immedia显示具有柔性电子显示象纸上墨水一样的阅读能力，使它可发展成独特大的显示工业，Immedia显示可以和传播消息链的其它字符信息联网，允许触键将待提交的所有字符信息送到网上。

第一个Immedia显示是在1999年5月3日麻省的Marlborough JCPenny百货店展示，并有几个大公司试验过Immedia显示在2000年初可以购到今天Immedia仅能显示蓝底白字实验室的努力工作已能演示黑底白字，红底白字和绿底白字下一阶段支持任一双色组合的颜色，全彩色能力也在。
