Billerica – September 16, 2026 -- E Ink Corporation has made an early-stage investment in NewCopper, a privately held U.S. startup developing conductive copper ink, to accelerate a lower-cost alternative to silver ink used in printed electronics and display materials.

E Ink structures investment through a post-money SAFE agreement

The deal gives E Ink's R&D team the opportunity to evaluate NewCopper's copper ink as a conductive material for future displays and electrode applications, given its compatibility with E Ink's existing roll-to-roll coating capabilities. E Ink will also apply its display manufacturing expertise to support NewCopper's production scale-up and commercialization.

Costa Mesa, Calif. – September 16, 2026 -- BenQ has released its first Creative Pro monitors built specifically for color grading, the PV3250U and PV2750U, priced at $1,599.99 and $1,099.99 respectively.

Hsinchu – September 16, 2026 -- ChipMOS Technologies Inc. reported August 2026 consolidated revenue of NT$2,785.7 million (US$88.0 million), up 33.3% from August 2025 but down 1.3% from July 2026.

AI-driven memory shortage lifts ChipMOS revenue 33.3% year-on-year

The Taiwan-based outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) provider attributed the growth to a persistent AI-related demand/supply imbalance in the memory market. The August figure, based on an exchange rate of NT$31.67 to US$1.00, marks a slight sequential pullback from July but retains a substantial year-over-year gain.

Company ties capacity expansion strictly to confirmed customer orders

ChipMOS said it is working with customers to address both near- and long-term requirements while maintaining discipline in footprint expansion. New capacity additions are being aligned specifically with committed customer demand rather than speculative growth, the company said.

Munich – – September 16, 2026 -- Silicon Line, a brand of EverProX Technologies Munich GmbH, has launched the MSDL 20G chipset, extending MIPI D-PHY connectivity from short-range cabling to distances of tens of meters while consuming less than 100 mW per 10 Gbps link.

Chipset aggregates dual 10 Gbps camera streams over fiber or copper

The MSDL 20G family comprises the SL8582x serializer and SL8581x deserializer, supporting up to two simultaneous serialized links of 10 Gbps each for multi-camera vision systems. The chipset targets bandwidth, EMI, and range limitations inherent in traditional MIPI D-PHY wiring, replacing bulky shielded cable bundles with optical fiber or differential copper connections.

Berlin – September 16, 2026 -- Rokid unveiled AIUI Studio at IFA Berlin 2026, a browser-based development platform that lets users build AI agent applications for its smart glasses without writing code.
