E-paper manufacturer E Ink stated that the BMW iX3 Flow Edition equipped with E Ink Prism technology was officially released at the Auto China 2026. This represents a major breakthrough in automotive surface innovation technology. The BMW iX3 Flow Edition has become the world’s first vehicle to adopt E Ink Prism electronic paper technology and move toward mass production, marking a new stage in which electronic paper vehicle-body technology has officially transitioned from concept demonstrations to practical applications.

The artificial intelligence boom continues to drive demand for related hardware, particularly as server power delivery and high-speed data transmission requirements increase. Against this backdrop, BizLink has shifted its business mix toward high-performance computing and semiconductor applications, which now account for more than 50% of revenue, transforming the company from a traditional cable supplier into a provider of integrated power and high-speed connectivity solutions for AI data centers.

Samsung Electronics has reportedly produced a working die for sub-10nm DRAM, marking a potential breakthrough below the 10-nanometer threshold, according to The Elec. SK Hynix, meanwhile, is preparing to sample its next-generation high-bandwidth memory product as memory makers accelerate their product roadmaps.

Silicon photonics (SiPh) products continue to see strong demand, with optical communication epitaxy manufacturer LandMark Optoelectronics reporting output still far below customer needs. The company plans to increase capital expenditure (capex) to NT$1.315 billion (US$41.7 million) in 2026 to prepare early for second-half 2027 demand, and aims to introduce semiconductor-grade equipment for processes involving substrates larger than 6 inches, targeting a new expansion phase starting in 2028.
