As the year’s hottest topic, Micro LED will be the focus of discussions at the Micro LED Display Conference 2018. The conference will comprise morning and afternoon sessions, and numerous major domestic and overseas Micro LED technology development teams, including those from AUO, eLux, NationStar Optoelectronics, Lextar Electronics Corp., X-Celeprint, Veeco, Lumiode, San’an Optoelectronics, TOPCON, and Beijing-based Chipone Technology and PlayNitride have been invited to provide the latest market analyses and share advanced technologies, so as to let the audience better understand future industry and market development trends, as well as various advanced technologies.

Simultaneously-held Smart Manufacturing & Monitech Taiwan

This year, the show will see two new thematic exhibit areas, one for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the other for AR/VR Smart Manufacturing, aiming to integrate AI, AR/VR technologies, industrial IoT (Internet of Things), big data analysis and expert system to allow equipment suppliers to know equipment problems in advance, so that they can take the initiative to contact customers for predictive maintenance. In addition, through the assistance of AR/VR technologies, equipment diagnosis and maintenance can be provided while simulation of usage process and operation demonstration can also be conducted to achieve the goals of reducing operating costs and boosting efficiency and innovation. Exhibitors will jointly demonstrate applications of AI and AR/VR technologies to smart manufacturing equipment, thereby further driving industrial upgrades, transformation, innovations and applications. In addition, the show organizers have also arranged a united procurement meeting and guided tour of the show for foreign buyers, seeking to help buyers build a complete procurement information system and allow exhibitors to launch their latest technologies and products.
