Chuan iwatch has been trial-run using SIP system-level packaging technology

Sina Mobile News April 30 morning, according to Taiwan Industry and Commerce times, said from Apple supply chain news, Apple's first wear device iwatch 0 components have begun trial production. According to industry sources, Apple iwatch production has been officially launched in the two quarter of this year, due to the small size of the iwatch and strong sensing function, a highly integrated and thin short characteristics of the SIP technology has been identified by Apple to replace the traditional printed circuit board (PCB). SiP (System in a package systems-level encapsulation) is to integrate a variety of functional chips, including processors, memory and other functional chips in a package, so as to achieve a basic complete function. This means that components such as the processor on this wrist device will be packaged together, with higher integration. SIP substrate by Jing technology to take 70%-80% orders, the remaining 20%-30% orders from the southern power, SIP packaging and Module foundry by the Sun and Moon group occupy. It is understood that the current Apple products WiFi module and fingerprint identification devices are using SIP technology, the iphone, ipad products after a certain technical accumulation, iwatch has been identified with SIP technology for encapsulation. Supply chain practitioners revealed that Apple iwatch's SIP substrate 2nd quarter shipments of about 250~300 million, the 3rd quarter may reach 1400~1500 million. Taiwan's Sun Moon Light Group will begin the 2nd quarter to undertake iwatch SIP packaging and assembly foundry Business, the first 3, 4 quarter shipments will increase significantly. Apple is expected to launch its first wearing device iwatch in the second half of this year, which is rumored to be a curved glass, similar to a watch-style iOS device that supports Bluetooth technology and configures a 1.5-inch OLED display.
