3G will also become a heavyweight LED application market

Because mobile phone function upgrades, to further stimulate the demand for higher performance LED. 3G mobile phone development this year, will bring a broader market space for LED. The industry believes that LED in the key light source, backlight, state indicator light, flash light source applications will continue to grow this year, the 3G market will become LED heavyweight applications. The forecast, as LED is the most rapid field of Optoelectronics Market growth, it will grow from $2 billion 500 million in 2003 to $8 billion 900 million in 2008, an increase of 23% years, the mobile phone market is still mainly used application LED.

LED in terms of demand of mobile phone applications, mobile phone according to different functions and different screen sizes, each mobile phone about the use of 12 -18 LED devices, the amount of about 12 yuan -15 yuan. Mobile phone with LED devices accounted for more than 30% of the total amount of LED, while the large screen display with the amount of LED accounted for about LED of the total amount of about 20%. In 2005 the domestic mobile phone with the total amount of LED devices is about 3 billion yuan, in 2006 the global 3G mobile phone shipments will more than doubled in 2005, therefore, some professionals are optimistic forecasts, 3G growth will need to make an important contribution to the LED performance this year.

According to TRI estimates, in 2005 the global 3G mobile phone shipments reached 65 million scale, is expected in 2006 will be highly mobile phone overall 3G growth of 106%, reached 134 million. In the case of mobile phone demand continues to drive the rapid development of the backlight market, is expected this year, 3G phones will be conducive to driving high brightness LED demand growth.

Relevant data show that the application of the backlight source in high brightness LED market share in the past 2 years -3 years will still maintain a leading position. Especially with the use of LED as a mobile phone camera flash and the application and popularization of micro flashlight on the phone, LED will be more widely used on the phone. The market is growing, it is recommended that the spot market dealers should pay close attention to this direction.

LED new growth point of the other future direction, suggest that the industry can also pay close attention to emerging applications such as light, TFT-LCD backlight, lighting and other applications.
