MEMS based microdisplays have been given a lot of attention recently since the DLP based products have started to generate substantial revenues for Texas Instrument. Other companies are trying to enter this promising market with similar or alternative concepts. How will he MEMS-based microdisplay market develop until the end of the decade? May other mass markets emerge such as displays for cell phones? Is anyone in the position to challenge TI? This paper
presents the results of the analysis of MEMS microdisplay applications and markets in the NEXUS III study.
The ability to meet demanding specifications and stringent price points continues to drive market insertion for MEMS inertial sensors in cost-sensitive automotive applications and more recently, consumer markets. This paper examines major markets and drivers for gyroscopes and accelerometers, which will grow from a total of $835 million in 2004 to almost $1350 in 2009, a CAGR of over 10%.

Microsystems for Radio Frequency applications, known as RF MEMS, have entered the commercialization phase in 2003. Bulk Acoustic Wave filters are already produced in series and first commercial samples of switches are available. On the other hand, reliability and packaging problems are still a major hurdle especially for switches and tunable capacitors. Will RF MEMS hold their promise to be one of the future major businesses for MEMS? The presentation will give an overview on RF MEMS applications and market players. WTC will highlight technical challenges that still have to be solved to open mass markets such as mobile telephony and WLAN. WTC will also present applications of RF MEMS and opportunities in niche markets with high added value like military and space applications. WTC will provide a regional analysis and compare R&D focus and public funding situation in North America, Europe and Asia. Finally, WTC will present an updated product roadmap market forecast for RF MEMS devices for the 2004-2008 time period.
The Telecom sector has driven until 2000 the development of micro-mirrors with subsystems like optical cross-connects and add/drop multiplexers for all-optical networks. Following the collapse of the telecom equipment market, much attention has been given to emerging applications in consumer electronics, IT, industry, and biomedical. WTC will give an overview on existing and emerging markets of micro-mirrors outside telecom. The various micro-mirror techniques and their respective applications from high value niches to mass markets will be presented. The supply chain will be analysed and a roadmap of implementation of micro-mirrors will be proposed.
