The fingerprint chip refers to a chip product of the inner fingerprint identification technology, which is capable of realizing the image acquisition, feature extraction, and a chip of the fingerprint. The fingerprint identification chip industry has ever built in 2015, and has become the standard of mainstream mobile phones by 2016.
As fingerprint recognition functions have been regarded as standard equipped by new generation of intelligent mobile phones, the global fingerprint identification chip market business opportunities are expected to break out again, and they also attract the global IC designer active card. However, the mainland's first-line brand mobile phone industry is like Huawei, OPPO, Vivo's fingerprint identification chip solution for FPC (FingerPrintcards). The second-line brand is prioritized to support the service content of the work on top technology.
According to the statistics of the market research institution, the global fingerprint identification chip shipments in 2015 were approximately 499 million, which was 58% compared to 316 million in 2014.
According to another research institution, in 2015, the global intelligent terminal fingerprint recognition chip shipments reached 478 million, and the market sales reached 211 billion US dollars. It is expected that by 2018, the global intelligent terminal fingerprint recognition chip market will reach 1199 million, and sales will reach $ 36 million. The annual complex growth rate of sales is about 36%, and the annual composite growth rate of sales is about 13%. In this context, fingerprint chip vendors, fingerprint recognition module manufacturers, fingerprint identification programs will benefit from it.
In the first half of 2016, domestic fingerprint identification chip shipments reached 156 million, an increase of 210% year-on-year, and the market demand was high-speed growth.
From the previous century scratch technology, the prevention of the pressed fingerprint recognition technology, the fingerprint recognition technology is flying, but the industry shuffle is also rapidly intensified. Let us take a look at the top ten fingerprint identification chip brands in 2016.
1, Authentec
Aunthetec was established in 1998. When 2012, Authentec has become the world's largest fingerprint sensor and a module, the supplier of identification software and encryption security programs, with annual sales reached $ 70 million, with more than 200 items. Patents and 230 employees, the sensors used worldwide more than 35 million, including Alcatera-Lucent, Cisco, HP, Samsung, Lenovo, LG, Motorola, Nokia, etc. In 2011, Authentec has developed a new technology based on capacitive and RF identification, called "TruePrint", TruePrint patented technology to read the movable layer under the skin surface (the real thing of human fingerprints), realize Extremely accurate and reliable fingerprint imaging. In 2012, Apple was full-owned acquisition of Aunthetec. Authentec has become the world's largest semiconductor fingerprint recognition sensor supplier, and Apple's TouchID is using the technology of Authentec. But due to dedicated to Apple, other merchants have not been able to purchase Authentec's technical or products on the market.
2, FPC
Swedish companies are currently in the world, in addition to Authentec, the maximum press fingerprint recognition sensor supplier (without algorithm and algorithm chip). Thanks to Authentec only to provide products and technology for Apple, FPC has become a non-Apple mobile phone camp. There are also many mobile phones to match the FPC fingerprint recognition sensor this year. At present, the momentum of the FPC is very hot, but its sensor price is not low. I believe that with more fingerprint recognition suppliers, the price of FPC will return to the normal range through testing and small batch.
3, Synopsys
US companies, crossovermen in the industry, start to get involved in the fingerprint identification industry since the acquisition of Validity in October 2013. The current quantity fingerprint recognition sensor is mainly based on scratching (sliding acquisition), and experiences poor pressing sensors. Samsung Galaxys5, HTC One max, etc. The scratch fingerprint recognition sensor is provided by Synaptics.
4, QUALCOMM
Qualcomm Snapdragon SENSE ID 3D fingerprint technology uses ultrasonic waves to form a detailed 3D fingerprint information. Unlike Touch ID simple 2D capture scanning methods, the ultrasound of the SENSE ID can penetrate the outer skin of the finger, capture unique features such as ridge and sweat pores, thereby forming a 3D picture of the user's fingerprint. At present, this technology has been used by many professional institutions and government departments, and Xiaomi 5S is also equipped with high pass ultrasonic fingerprint identification chips.
5, went
For the establishment of a GoodiX Link technology with independent intellectual property rights, a fingerprint identification and touch-integrated IFS technology, a living fingerprint testing technique, and the application of a well-known end-name terminal brand in international and domestic. Listed in 2016, becoming a domestic fingerprint identification industry.
6, God Shield
At the end of 2015, the show is listed in Taiwan. The show declares that the world's only passive fingerprint identification chip manufacturer has been adopted by Samsung and other international companies and domestic ZTE and other mobile phone brands, Shendu products have no patent in the world.
7, Mi Rui
Suzhou Meiwei Electronics Co., Ltd. was established in March 2014 and R & D Headquarters is located in Suzhou. Focus on the design and application of semiconductor fingerprint sensors, which is currently actively investing in smartphones for the micropile fingerprint sensor and development of application solutions. Mi Rui was initially successful in the fingerprint door lock market, accumulated certain experience and technology. Mi Rui microelectronics simultaneously grasped the algorithm and design technology of the touch and row-type fingerprint recognition Sensor, the company said that the development of the touch fingerprint recognition Sensor is the mobile phone market. Subsequent Fingerprint Identification Sensor will then be the target, mainly the laptop industry.
8, Si Li Wei
Shanghai Si Li Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. is an integrated circuit design enterprise identified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It is also a recognized China's most growing integrated circuit design enterprise. Headquartered in Shanghai Zhangjiang Gaockey Park, the US Silicon Valley returned to entrepreneurs, the country's thousand people plan special experts, Shanghai Thousands of people plan an outstanding entrepreneurs, Mr. Tsinghua Student Cheng Tai Yi's top team was found in October 2010 Mainly engaged in research and development and sales of new generation intelligent mobile terminal sensors SOC chips and solutions. The market is aimed at a smart mobile Internet terminal that is rapidly stable and is committed to providing a new generation of human-machine interface for high performance and excellent cost.
There are four main stages of the product line, including multi-point capacitive touch IC, active capacitive pen, electromagnetic pen, and fingerprint identification solution. Currently, customer groups currently are mobile phones and tablet consumer electronics solutions and brand customers.
9, core start
Shenzhen Core Qihang Technology Co., Ltd. was established in July 2015, headquartered in Shenzhen, and established offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an.
