Qualcomm MEMS Technologies and Foxlink Commence Operations at Dedicated mirasol Display Fabrication Facility

SAN DIEGO
Tue, 2009-06-02

Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) today announced that a dedicated mirasol® display fabrication plant in the Longtan's Science Park in Taoyuan, Taiwan has commenced operations. The Qualcomm facility is the result of a strategic collaboration with Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co. Ltd., (Foxlink) (TSE: 2392), a leading developer and manufacturer of communications devices, computers and consumer electronics. Foxlink will play an integral role in the operation of the mirasol fabrication facility, which is dedicated to manufacturing mirasol displays on generation 4.5 glass.

"Emerging technologies such as mirasol displays have the power to influence the entire wireless value chain," said Paul Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm. "As we continue to demand more from our mobile devices, it is clear that the display not only is increasingly influencing the consumers' experience but also is driving the total power efficiency of the device."

"We are excited to be the first to bring this innovative new technology to the European marketplace," said Dr. Chung-Hung Pan, vice president of Inventec Corporation, Mobile Business Unit. "Taking advantage of the ability to conserve power by incorporating Qualcomm's mirasol display was an obvious decision for Inventec. Saving power with the mirasol display will benefit not only customers eager to maximize battery life between charges, but also mobile phone operators looking to increase available revenue time - the more the phone is on and viewable, the more carrier customers will utilize its services and features."

"The mirasol facility is game-changing for Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, as its capabilities move us closer to delivering next generation mirasol displays to the market with increased efficiency and in greater quantities," said Jim Cathey, vice president of business development for Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Inc. "With our technical expertise and Foxlink's background in manufacturing, we are well positioned to enable the commercialization of mirasol display technology; that's the charter of the mirasol fabrication plant."

Foxlink, one of the world's leading makers of communications devices, computers and consumer electronics for multiple Fortune 500 companies, will leverage its extensive manufacturing experience to provide the day-to-day operations of the mirasol plant. Qualcomm MEMS Technologies will bring its extensive knowledge of this emerging technology and its process engineering expertise from QMT's dedicated teams in Taiwan and from the state-of-the-art Qualcomm MEMS Research and Innovation Center (MRIC) laboratory in San Jose, California. Both teams drive the development and commercialization of mirasol display technology and products.

About Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Inc.

Qualcomm MEMS Technologies Inc. has developed the industry's first direct view micro-electrical mechanical system (MEMS) display for mobile devices - a true technological innovation that offers low power consumption and superb viewing quality in a wide range of environmental conditions, including bright sunlight. The display works by reflecting light using interfoermetric modulation (IMOD) so that specific wavelengths interfere with each other to create color. The phenomenon that makes a butterfly's wings shimmer is the same principle applied in Qualcomm's mirasol displays. Using advanced MEMS technologies, mirasol displays support Qualcomm's overall innovation strategy of increasing the capability of mobile devices while minimizing power consumption. Qualcomm MEMS Technologies Inc. is headquartered in San Diego, Calif., with offices in San Jose, Calif., Taoyuan, Taiwan and Hsinchu, Taiwan.
