Mobile phones spur soaring orders for crystal devices
Article Abstract:
Japanese manufacturers of crystal devices are enjoying a boom related to soaring sales of mobile phones overseas. Sales of crystal devices have been growing 10% monthly since Oct 1998, according to the Quartz Crystal Industry Assn. The number of orders have begun to surpass production in Dec 19998, forcing many manufacturers to raise production. Analysts estimate the supply factor to hover at 90% in Dec 1998 and in Jan and Feb 1999.
