Throw away the data line wireless charging market emerging

Yang Birch a tangled line, which is in addition to air pollution and traffic jams, we need to endure another "insignificant" little things, after the Hong Kong business trip back, I stumbled in the living room, all kinds of power and data lines let me like a fool fell to the ground. However, I seem to have seen a glimmer of light at the 2013 electronic series on global resources in Hong Kong. The global resources show a total of 4,100 booths, wireless charging related manufacturers around 20, the scale is small. However, Eqspark International sales Manager Ningyan, who specializes in mobile power and wireless recharging, told me: "Depending on the hardware vendor support and cost variables, the mobile phone wireless charging market may soon be up in the two years." "Wireless charging" is actually not a new concept, the relevant products in 2009 at the earliest CES in the United States has appeared, but there is no mass production scale, obstacles mainly in several points: first, there is no hardware manufacturers support; the second is that the cost is too high to lead to the ordinary people's home. In addition, it involves practical problems, such as limited charging distance and inefficient conversion efficiency. For example, the wireless charging product I saw at the equatorial star booth, mobile phones must also be placed on the wireless charging hardware transmitter board, point to point charge, and can not leave too far, this is still not convenient for users; In addition, the conversion efficiency, because the wireless charging technology equipment itself to achieve two times of energy conversion, According to the equatorial star sales Manager Ye estimates: the current wireless charging conversion efficiency of about 70%. Equatorial stars began to do wireless recharging this year, with overseas orders at the April global Resources show, but they made a partial change and evolution of the products exhibited in October, combining thin, flat wireless charging and mobile power supplies to address these practical problems. Ye told me that the utility of this combination also includes the use of wireless charging in a stationary place like the office, allowing users to bring the experience into a busy business trip or vacation. Equatorial star current wireless charging products priced at about 200 yuan. On the other hand in the formation of the wireless charging market scale Another important indicator of "hardware manufacturer support" field, it is noteworthy: following the first 2010 Qi Standard, QI 1.0 wireless charging standard came into being, this June standard stopped, and began to implement QI 1.1 wireless charging standard, which is to Qi 1.0 a "Upgrade" of the wireless charging standard. Handset-chip makers, including Qualcomm, have joined the Wireless-charging alliance. After the introduction of the QI 1.0 wireless charging standards, the league's original list of 50 manufacturers has included Nokia, Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, Philips, Energizer, LG, HTC, Olympus, Verizon, Sanyo and so on. "The iphone is not yet, but its own authorities have issued some information on applying for a wireless charging patent, so Apple is likely to make its own wireless charging standard to control the ' perimeter '." Ye told me. Equator Star Current MasterTo solve the problem of wireless charging for Apple's mobile phone with a wireless charging device, the shell price is included in the total price of a 200-yuan wireless charging product. In addition to the Android camp, Samsung, including the Galax series of high-end mobile phones have been in the hardware to leave wireless charging contacts, users will be the wireless charging vendors to the relevant chip implanted in the connection point, you can use the wireless charging function. And the rapid labor of the Google Nexus 5 mobile phone also has its own wireless charging receive function. Nokia 820 also has to use the shell support for wireless charging, but Nokia 920 already has this feature on the phone. In addition to the HTC 8S still need to achieve through the shell wireless charging different, HTC 8X has also been in the phone with this feature. In addition to the revelations of October, Samsung is developing a new wireless charging technology that is similar to the magnetic resonance principle, allowing the handset to separate from the charging base and keep charging. Samsung is currently in intense research and development and is expected to meet the market in the second half of 2014.
