The wearable device market is rapidly warming up and has attracted many industry players to invest, among which smart watches will be a battleground for all; This type of emerging application product is expected to inject new growth momentum into small and medium-sized display panels, and become an important new focus in the evolution trend of the panel industry this year. The emergence of mobile devices not only changes people's living habits, but also represents the beginning of technological innovation in mobile living.

Nowadays, smartphones combine the traditional calling function of mobile phones with the multimedia platform function, making it possible to achieve functions that previously required several different devices (such as telephones, fax machines, televisions, radios, PMPs, game consoles, and watches) on a single smartphone.

In addition, with the advancement of various technologies, there are more and more intelligent display portable devices, such as smartphones, smartwatches, smart glasses and other terminal consumer products, gradually entering people's lives and bringing more functionality and convenience.

At present, the main outlet for global display panel and touch panel related products is downstream consumer 3C products. If we observe the size of the display panel, the main products for large-sized display devices are LCD TVs, LCD monitors, laptops (NB), and other products. At present, the main products for small and medium-sized display devices are tablets, smartphones, wearable devices, and other products.

More and more 3C technology display products not only have display panels, but also combine touch panel operation. For example, tablets and smartphones mainly use touch panels as their main input interface. Or the so-called dual input interface method, such as laptops combined with touch panels, can choose between traditional keyboard and mouse operation or touch based operation. Therefore, it can be seen that displays with touch functionality are one of the mainstream trends for many future technological products.

The intelligent wearable devices currently available (as shown in the picture) have a wide range of applications from head to toe, including the Apache combat helicopter's smart helmet, Google smart glasses, Apple smartwatch, Xiaomi smart bracelet, Nike smart sneakers, and more.
