08 years, Taiwan LED packaging output to maintain the global value of second

PIDA PIDA pointed out, affected by the financial turmoil, Taiwan LED industry in 2008, including the chip and package totaling about NT $82 billion, comparable to that of 2007. Which LED chip output value of 31 billion 600 million yuan in 2008, an annual reduction of 4%. LED package worth NT $50 billion 300 million, the annual increase of 3%, Jordan 1 billion 532 million beauty T, maintain the global LED packaging industry output ranked second after Japan's 3 billion 11 million U.S. dollars.

PIDA said it was originally expected in 2008, Taiwan LED industry output value is expected to exceed 100 billion yuan mark, but affected by the financial turmoil, the actual only reached NT $82 billion, roughly the same as in 2007. Compared to the past 2 years more than the growth rate of more than 20%, 2008 can be said to be a dismal year. In the major application market, including mobile phone backlight, display and light, electronic equipment, lights, car and so on 4 major areas, especially in the automotive and consumer related by the biggest.

However, PIDA stressed that LED applications still have a lot of creative space. In recent years, especially with LED backlight and lighting the most attention. The back light source, the LED application has been extended from size to large size panel, LED backlight panel is expected in 2009 will be more than 35% penetration rate, even if the Monitor monitor products because the manufacturer intends to enhance the added value of products, the emerging LED backlight optimistic trend.

Lighting, PIDA expects that in the next 3-5 years, the focus of lighting will become an important starting point of the LED light source cut indoor lighting, especially in 2009 the first implementation plan, disable the incandescent lamp energy saving issue continues to have a fever driven LED application penetration lighting market is expected to accelerate the pace of. 2009 LED lighting penetration rate is expected to be about 1.5%, LED lighting output will grow to 1 billion 300 million U.S. dollars scale. On the other hand, LED Street will also be encouraged by national policies and significant growth, is expected in 2009 the global LED street lamp will exceed one million.

However, the Taiwan LED industry in 2009 will face severe challenges. First of all, the current packaging technology and capabilities of Taiwan LED manufacturers, there are still obstacles in backlight and lighting applications. Rapidly rising LED industry, China plus. Taiwan LED packaging factory now regardless of the use of domestic or foreign manufacturers in the world, only through the process control, such as yield, etc., to product differentiation. Short term is only a little erosion by Chinese competitors, and now it seems not very serious, but in the long term will be a problem to be considered. As for the LED chip, because China is still relatively weak in this regard, Taiwan's chip manufacturers such as crystal electric (2448), or a leading edge.
