Hot issues related with green manufacturing, FPD, RFID, SMT and other electronic industry will be collectively discussed in Shanghai this autumn. It was released on the news conference held by China Electronic Fair days ago. A number of high-profile professional seminars will be held during 68th China Electronics Fair dated on 24th Nov. 2006 to discuss hot issues nowadays.

　　Keywords: FPD
　　In view of ever-growing FPD market and robust development of relevant industries in mainland China, Chinese government has attached great importance to development of LCD industry and LCD industrial strength is concentrating around Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Being encouraged by great market opportunities, manufacturers in the industry strive toward technical growth by active international cooperation. While, Asia serves of course as global LCD center, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan represent the highest level in LCD technology and manufacturing. They all hold high hopes on the development opportunities in mainland China. Under great support of Ministry of Information Industry Electronic Information Product Administration Division, China Electronic Imaging Industry Association and authorities from China, H.K, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, CEAC and Nikkei BP hosted together “Asia LCD Industry Summit 2006 (Shanghai)” in Shanghai during 25th to 26th Nov., with the aim of getting together LCD authorities in Asia, collective discussion of LCD industry’s trend, the latest LCD technology, integrating the entire industrial chain from the entire unit, panel, module, element, materials and sales channel to push forward the development of LCD industry in China.

　　Just as the development of LCD industry in China with the distinctive features of international cooperation, LCD summit forum is also the first successful introduction of Nikkei BP’s FPD Summit. Nikkei BP’s strong media backup and client base have paid a solid foundation for the summit’s expansion. Nikkei Microdevices’ magazine “FPD” is the leader in FPD industry. This LCD summit forum will also be accompanied by the debut of “FPD China”.

　　At present, Chinese LCD industry isn’t satisfied with just market trend analysis and has taken actual actions. They need profound exchange and exploration in the most influential LCD business circle under the backdrop of international cooperation in aspects of industrial layout, strategic alliance, joint R&D, technical cooperation and process management. Focusing on its development strategy in China, LCD industry needs to investigate into its “industrial concentration, international cooperation and technical growth” and then seek the opportunity and route for cooperation and development in Mainland China. It is the very theme of this LCD summit forum and also the focus that attracts attention of government and industrial leaders. Hence, the host will invite competent leaders from Ministry of Information Industry and leading manufacturers from the industry, including Sharp, LD, Philips, TCL and AUO.

　　Keywords: RFID application and industrialization

　　32 football teams have showed their spectacular skills in the World Cup staged in Germany ended last month. If “Best Technical Contributor” is selected, you may not think about that it should be RFID ticket –3.2 million tickets to World Cup in Germany all adopted RFID technologies and could be identified by the access system to trace identity of its legal holder. Only the legal holder could enter stadiums of the World Cup. Meanwhile, paper tickets with chips guaranteed fast and safe entrance of soccer fans.

　　It is only a tip of the iceberg. RFID (electronic tag) is one of ten major technologies that will influence the future, especially as a revolutionary tool in manufacturing process management and supply chain logistics. With great efforts of the government, its filtration into public management fields becomes more evident. This automatic identification technology has truly extended informatization into details, and also presents opportunities to electronic and IT enterprises.

　　5th RFID Application Senior Seminar 2006 hosted by the Ministry of Information Industry Packaging Office and China Electronic Appliance Coporation will be held concurrently with 68th China Electronics Fair, with the focus on how to reduce RFID’s comprehensive implementation cost from the entire architecture including hardware, software and system integration. It takes into consideration actual situation of IT application and capacity of IT industry in China and attempts at pushing forward local application of RFID and development of local RFID industry in a practical way. The seminar has repeated its fourth success and has been highly praised by the industry for its practicality and keen insights. It has been actively participated by such manufacturers as Huawei and ZTE and clients from logistics and packaging industries and greatly supported by such manufacturers as IBM, BEA, Microsoft, ST, Yuanwanggu, Shenzhen Huitian, TAGSYS, LITI, SAP, Shanghai Shenbo and Beijing Weishen in the industry.

　　Keywords: portable products, SMT, test and measurement

　　As an emerging center for electronic manufacturing, China has increasingly more EMSs, OEMs and ODMs in Yangtze Delta, Pearl River Delta and Bohai-Rim and they play more and more important role in manufacturing of finished products. Along with progress in product design, and mature element manufacturing technology, PC and portable products’ functions are diversified and humanized, move towards higher performance, light, elegant, thin and small and imposes higher requirements on microelectronic encapsulation and surface mounting. How to make advantage of advanced and practical technologies to produce products that conform to quality requirements? How to manufacture products that conform to domestic and international laws and statutes when we move towards a lead-free world? How to reduce cost and engage in lean manufacturing? These issues have aroused attentions of manufacturers. Similarly, 2006 China SMT International Forum to be held during China Electronic Fair will discuss surface mounting (welding) of micro-distance elements, microelectronic encapsulation (stack encapsulation process and etc), test technology (product test and online test), heat radiation and reliability.

　　This forum has obtained great support from Taipei Computer Association, and will get together elites in the trade in Yangtze Delta where Taiwan-invested manufacturing enterprises are concentrated and carry out technical exchange from all aspects and at deep levels on PC, notebook, server, display, memory, mainboard and portable products.

　　Keywords: electronic innovation and electronic purchase

　　Electronic Innovation Conference and Electronic Purchase Conference held concurrently are focus that attracts attention of the electronic industry nowadays. The Innovation Conference will bridge together two groups of semiconductor and system manufacturers so that they will talk about cooperation and innovation on a common platform regarding innovation elements in SoC era, the opportunity of innovation for China’s electronic industry, status quo and trend of innovation in the international electronic sector, innovation and application in wireless and multimedia field, low power consumption and energy-saving design, cooperation between IC designers and IDH and entire system manufacturers, joint innovation and supply chain synergy and etc.

　　Moreover, it will also have 2006 Asia Electronic Market Forum, 2006 International Electronic Test and Measurement Forum, 2006 Electronic Product RoHS Forum 2006, World Electronic Passive Components Design & Application Forum, IC Independent Distributors Distribution Report Issuance and etc.
