Display driver chip integrated capacitive touch technology has played a comprehensive role
In pursuit of high efficiency, low cost, and compact design, semiconductor products have long aimed to deliver maximum functionality and value in the market. This trend is not limited to consumer electronics—it's also shaping the evolution of display technologies. The integration of touch and display functions into a single chip has become an unstoppable trend, with Taiwanese manufacturers playing a key role in this transformation.
One of the most significant advancements in recent years has been the integration of capacitive touch technology within display driver chips. This approach, which moves from module-level to chip-level integration, offers multiple advantages such as reduced costs, smaller size, and more flexible design. It also enhances supply chain efficiency by enabling better product integration and complementarity.
This trend isn't just limited to smartphones. As in-cell touch technology improves, it's overcoming earlier limitations like insufficient driving power. With the development of larger tablet displays, many panel manufacturers began adopting this technology for notebook PCs in early 2017, signaling a promising future for integrated display and touch chips.
Moreover, in 2018, the adoption of touch-integrated technology in smartphones continued to rise. Synaptics Technologies started mass production of its TDDI (Touch and Display Driver Integrated) chips in early 2016, drawing strong interest from the Android ecosystem.
However, challenges such as low chip and panel yields, along with limited supplier options, initially kept overall module costs high. Despite this, as the technology matured, the pricing of integrated touch chips stabilized around $1 for LTPS panels, while TDDI modules for a-Si panels approached the cost of traditional external touch and display modules.
With mass production ramping up in the fourth quarter of 2017, several companies emerged as key players in the market. It’s expected that the touch-integrated chip market will remain vibrant in 2018, led by three major players: Synaptics, Duntai, and Lianhe.
As passive components become increasingly scarce, especially since 2017, prices for MLCCs have surged multiple times, and this trend is expected to continue until at least 2019. In response, the zero-component solution—previously promoted by Silicon Electronics—has gained traction. By embedding essential functions directly into the display driver chip, this approach eliminates the need for external components like capacitors and diodes, reducing both cost and design complexity.
This innovation is well-timed, as it helps customers navigate component shortages and rising material costs. The adoption rate of this technology in high-resolution devices is expected to grow further, making it a crucial solution in the evolving electronics landscape.
