Egis outlook downbeat due to poor smartphone sales
By Lisa Wang / Staff reporter
Fingerprint sensor supplier Egis Technology Inc (神盾) expects revenue this quarter to continue declining quarter-on-quarter, as stagnant smartphone sales are still curbing demand for chips, a company executive said yesterday.
Wafer supply constraints also remain an issue and could continue to weigh on the company’s business this year, Egis said.
The company said that it was unable to fulfill some rush orders due to a widespread shortage of key components in the second half of last year.

On March 5, Biden nominated Tim Wu, a second-generation Taiwanese American, to be his special assistant for technology and competition policy.
Alan Wu named his eldest son “Tim,” an acronym for “Taiwan independence movement,” said Strong Chuang (莊秋雄), former chairman of World United Formosans for Independence (WUFI)-USA.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has certificated China’s Aviage Systems for Boeing 787 avionics work, paving the way for the company to expand into the international market.
Aviage, a joint venture between GE Aviation and Avic, was to have had its formal FAA audit in April 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic scuttled plans, forcing the date to be postponed to January 2021.
