The use of sapphire crystal in end user markets is poised for explosive growth. The increasing availability of high quality, low cost material is opening up new, high volume markets such as mobile and touch screen devices. This presentation will look at the factors that are contributing to this new opportunity. We will look specifically at advances in crystal growth methods that are leading to higher throughput, lower cost manufacturing of sapphire as well as the creation of a downstream, optimized fabrication channel capable of meeting these high volume market opportunities.
