Taipei Times: TSMC is said to have strong image sensor sales in Q3:
“We believe the strength in September, or the third quarter, was mainly from CDMA, wireless, CMOS image sensor and handset names,” said Roland Shu, a semiconductor analyst with Citigroup, in his report. Yesterday TSMC surprised many analysts when reported record high monthly September sales, bringing its third-quarter revenue slightly above the company’s forecast.
It seems Himax has ramped up pretty well.
ReplyDeleteTSMC is not going to want to loose out to others like Samsung. Prices will continue to fall.
ReplyDeleteOVT puts them in a strong position with designs that are simple to integrate and the image quality is much higher than it used to be. The 5G iPhone is said to switch to Sony, but OVT won't let it go easily.
