Peng Shuanglang believes that the economic climate in the first half of this year is good. Due to shortages of memory and other components, there has been an early pull-in of demand. For Foxconn, full-year operations are expected to gradually improve.
Foxconn Holdings plans three optical communication solutions, presented at the Smart Display Exhibition: Micro LED for short-distance transmission, VCSEL laser technology for medium-distance transmission, and CW-DFB for long-distance transmission.
Fan Jinyong, Chairman of Foxconn Optoelectronics under Foxconn Holdings, stated that their Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) chip production ranks in the top 3 globally, and with investment in Micro LED technology development, revenue from automotive products is expected to grow significantly in the next five years.
Fan Jinyong assesses that Micro LED entering optical communication transmission is a new option besides Co-packaged Optics (CPO), but it is difficult to achieve in the short term. Currently, 'plug-and-play' laser solutions are more feasible and are what Foxconn will enter first.
Additionally, Foxconn Holdings' previous acquisition of Bright Comm was primarily because Bright Comm has extensive experience in optical communications. With deepened technical cooperation, Foxconn's experience accumulation in the optical communication industry has been accelerated. (Editor: Huang Guolun) 1150409
