AUO deep LED, the field of solar energy

AUO announced that it will enter the energy industry, next year plans to invest NT $5 billion (about 1 billion 23 million yuan) the layout of thin film solar cells, the relevant investment details will be officially announced at the end of the year. AUO last two years to start new industry layout panel outside this year, announced the establishment of lextar electronics, by senior vice president Su Fengzheng leader, LED industry investment. General manager Chen LaiZhu AUO announced that 5 billion yuan NT layout of the solar industry will invest in next year, with details of the investment will be formally announced at the end of the year, the preliminary plan will stay in Taichung production base. At present, the group put the solar industry is directly locked 1GW capacity, it is understood that the first stage is the production target lock 1GW auo.

Chen Laizhu pointed out that in the production of thin film solar cell AUO decided, there are three main considerations, one is the starting point of time, two is the thin-film solar technology has reached a mature stage, three is to decide what business model. In fact, AUO has assessed the solar industry for a period of time, now the market and technology has reached a certain maturity, and AUO in the green industry investment have fame. The solar energy industry will enter into another stage, and in the TFT industry 10 years of work experience, know the development of product rapid decline in value, can make good preparation, and solar technology is relatively easy, the panel factory entry barrier is not high.

Planning for the next 10 years, Chen LaiZhu said that over a period of time inside a lot of discussion, now the energy industry will be a key role, so AUO must have planning on energy issues. AUO when entering the TFT industry is from the three generation to start, starting from the third generation of the solar energy industry is also a good time.

This year before the establishment of LED company Lunda currently has in the pilot run, is installed in the second quarter of next year, I hope to provide samples at the start of season third.
