The Future of Consumer Electronics and the Communications Convergence
Traditional consumer electronic (CE) devices such as DVDs, digital still cameras
and portable media players have been the primary revenue driver for the majority of
consumer semiconductor revenue. In recent years, however, these markets have experienced
a decelerating unit growth and companies are now looking for emerging consumer
applications that they can delve into and generate new revenue streams. Among the
various applications that semiconductors are looking to are the emergence of Mobile
Internet Devices (MIDs) and “the connected living room” which includes
technology that will enable consumers to stream content through their digital TVs,
set-top boxes, game consoles, mobile handsets and more. In addition, the emergence of
Network-Attached Storage as a market for semiconductors shows much promise in
generating significant semiconductor dollar content.
This reception entitled “The Future of Consumer Electronics and the
Communications Convergence,” will focus on the emerging applications within
these categories and discover what the market opportunities and challenges arise from
entering these markets and what semiconductor companies and their value-chain partners are
doing to succeed and profit in these areas.
