Supercapacitors: Taiwan leverages technical expertise for young line
A strong background in electrolytic capacitor manufacturing has given Taiwan suppliers an edge over their mainland China and South Korea counterparts in the supercapacitors industry. Mass production of the line, also known as electric double-layer capacitors or EDLC, started in late-2007 and is still in its infancy.
Putting off large-volume manufacture has actually helped makers in the island find solutions to some production issues, including leaking, that hindered their rivals in overseas hubs.
Touch panels: Capacitive touch panels explored to prop up line
