After 2003, The digital camera industry was in a high growth speed. Taiwan also became to a very important production base to digital camera sensor and assembly. Taiwan has a strong semiconductor industry. Many companies produced camera sensors (CCD, CMOS). By this relations, the camera assembly companies are fast developed in Taiwan. However, a critical optical filter of IR (Infra Red filters) which could improve the image effect of COMS sensor was supplied only by Japan coating producers then. Their capacity is hugely insufficient for Taiwan. However, the cell phone production need fast respondent vendors. The supply chain need to locate in nearby of assembly factory. The distance is too far for shipping this IR optical filter from Japan. The import and export cross boader also make the supply chain complex. Taiwan local coating supplier neither have such technology nor enough capacity for this requirement.
In middle of 2005, KingXin induced new high technology coaters to produce high class optical filters (multilayers thin film deposition). The company also induced a new technical team and to transform as a high level flat panel (optical glass, optical filter) optical coating producer. New team is leaded by Dr Mingshing Wu who worked in optical coating for over 15 years. Now, KingXin INC. is an important Optical Filter Supplier in Taiwan.
