Sony Semiconductor Solutions has announced the opening of a new factory in the Bangkadi Industrial Estate with an investment of approximately 10 billion yen or around 2.4 billion baht. This facility will serve as the production base for image and sensing sensors, Micro OLEDs for small screens such as camera viewfinders or AR/VR glasses, Laser Diodes for HDD readers, and large-sized chips in addition to the existing image sensor production line.
The image sensors produced by Sony in Thailand are not for cameras or smartphones but for cameras or automotive applications. The Thai factory is an assembly plant that receives wafers produced and cut in Japan, with production expected to begin in mid-year. It is estimated that around 2,000 jobs will be added over a 3-year period.
Thailand is the only semiconductor factory outside of Japan for Sony, with the company establishing its presence in the Bangkadi Industrial Estate since 1988.
In summary, Sony Semiconductor Solutions is pioneering a new era of manufacturing excellence with its cutting-edge technology and commitment to innovation in the field of image sensors and Micro OLEDs.
TLDR: Sony Semiconductor Solutions opens a new factory in Thailand for advanced sensor production, showcasing its dedication to technological advancement and job creation in the region.
