MEMS Semiconductor Display Market To Rocket By 62% In 2016
What's happening in the MEMs market? Well, it's good news. The market for optical based MEMS is poised for exponential growth. What's more, on top of MEMS devices for projection, MEMS for direct view displays are also emerging.
The total market was under $1 billion in 2011, but according to Semico, by 2016 it is expected to reach $10.4 billion.
Another variation on MEMS technology is MEOMS (Micro Electro-Optical Mechanical System). In this form of MEMS, light is manipulated. There are essentially two classes of MEOMS. One is for projecting images and the other is for direct view displays. The projector type of MEOMS use some form of micromirror technology that oscillate to direct a light beam. The direct view display devices are composed of an array of elements that control reflected light.
