“Future Technologies and the Direction of the CE Industry” Shlomo Waxe IAESI IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
We say in our religion – Since our temple was destroyed – prophecy is given to foolish people only! So – why I need to predict what will bring the future in the Electronics area?! IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
Since the nineties I use the saying - What was yesterday only a dream, today it’s reality and may be tomorrowit will be obsolete. So help me good to find the crystal ball that will help me to adopt the right technology and the best applications. IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
I still am looking for this crystal ball…. May be that some of you hold the crystal ball??? IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
After all I was asked to present my on opinion about the – “Future Technologies and the Direction of the CE industry” I will try.. IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
CE industry major trends • Globalization: • Multi – national conglomerates • Production move to Asia Pacific • Fast moving industry: • Fashionable. Models obsolescence within months! IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
Commoditization & cost decline spiral • Communication • Extensive reach (Metro – cellular, Office – WLAM) • Richer data (Multimedia) • Mobility • The products are portable • Convergence • Of phone, TV/Media, PC and Internet worlds • Standardization IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
Technology enablers • Semiconductors following Moore’s law • Affordable at 90nm, Leading edge 45 nm • Gigabytes of memory for a few bucks • Gigahertz speed (of computation and communication) • Communication infrastructure • Word wide networks: Internet, Mobile phones, satellites (TV & data) • Powerful Servers farms accessible to all. IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
Miniaturization • Ever smaller from factors • Lighter weight, lower power…. IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
User / Application trends • Rich Multi-media • Graphics, Video, Hi Fi Audio on all platforms • Ease of use • One click access, network transparency, automatic from Factor adjustment. • Applications diversity • Fit for use/context • Personalization • Wide selection and variety of Apps IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
Programmability • Base products with adaptation to specific application, user community or other needs. IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
Interface to the “real world” • The world around us is analog. Hence need for sensors, transducers and converters. • Ever improving accuracy and adequacy of the sensors and translators • 12 to 14 bits in A/D and D/A converters • Hi Def images IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
Video & stills imagers (cameras) ranging from “full camera on chip” at < 5$s to very high quality professional cameras at > 5K$ per imager! • Slid state and mechanical sensors for whole range of phenomena. IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
Conclusion Can some one of you, to provide me the crystalball? If not The name of the game is – Find the applications that will serve people And create products Which will pull the eyes Of them. IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries
