2006 LED number of mobile phone use will grow to 12.4

General market research institutions that will be used by common consent mobile phone market future of LED. Especially with the increasing popularity of mobile phones and camera phones, but also to strengthen the intensity of LED sales. It mobile phone application LED, can be divided into four categories, the first category indicator for the call, about 1. The second category is a mobile phone with a digital camera with flash, about one. The third category for the screen backlight source about 2-6 stars, the third category for the key backlight source about 6-10 stars, so add up to a minimum of about 8~10 LED, while the highest order models may reach 19~20 LED. Visibility of the mobile phone industry contribution to LED. If the mobile phone type to use, is the least in the number of LED mobile phone use in monochrome, the number of LED mobile phone most high order color photography. On average, a monochrome phone, the caller indicator is one, and the screen backlight is the use of 2 to 3 red or yellow LED, as the key backlight needs of the 6, so add up to about 9 to 10 LED.

As for the number of LED high order color folding camera mobile phone distribution, call indicator is 3, a flash, screen backlight is to use 5 to 6 high brightness LED backlight, as key need 10, so to add up to about 19 to 20 LED. Bear Stearns according to Asia estimates, in 2003 the global mobile phone to use each about 10.4, to 2006 will increase to 12.4. In 2003 the global mobile phone shipments up to 500 million to calculate, the number of shipments in the mobile phone market LED up to 5 billion 200 million. If the global mobile phone shipments in 2006 amounted to 760 million to calculate, LED shipments in the mobile phone market up to 9 billion 424 million, the average annual compound growth rate of up to 21.9%. In addition, it is worth noting that the traditional white LED to achieve 20 lumens of illumination, must be as high as 240 micro amps, the mobile phone is a test of power supply system.

However, in recent years with the progress of technology, the white LED has launched with 28 lumens illumination, only 80 micro ampere power, with 20 lumens with a flash illumination mobile phone needs and the power consumption in mobile phone and mobile phone with load requirements, the digital camera flash is the collocation design trend. Luminous efficiency if the future again to ascend, then the flash LED number will climb to 3 to 4 level. Due to LED manufacturers mostly in the mobile phone market, so in the beginning of the 2004 LED manufacturers over optimistic expectations and the continued expansion of production capacity, product prices continued to fall to LED; Q2 Chinese mainland market by the implementation of macro-control effects, leading to Q2 since the mainland market demand for LED showed a rapid decline; Q2 global handset market the base is too high, the inventory level is high. Q3 global handheld equipment market demand weak growth rate is decreased, the LED manufacturer Q3 single season operation is not ideal, some manufacturers monthly revenue decline of more cases. Q4 Xmas on demand driven by the estimated Q4 global handheld device shipments will have about 3.53% growth, but due to the current application of LED mobile phone manufacturers are still relying too much on the end, so the growth rate is also relatively limited.

Future LED manufacturers should continue to accelerate technological upgrading quality, should be more positive towards the diversification of the LED market development, such as the LCD Panel backlight, high brightness LED, automotive and traffic signal lamp market can continue to maintain the momentum of growth of LED manufacturers.
