Automotive applications urged the development of LED, heat, cost is still difficult to break through the two obstacles

Strategy Analytics company's latest research report pointed out that the application of LED in automotive LCD backlight and external lighting will expand. LED, OSRAM, Lumileds vendors including Nichia, is currently working with the automotive partners, in order to seize the big market share, is expected to 2014, the market value of $1 billion.

Internal LED applications will continue to constitute the bulk of the automotive LED demand, limiting the use of LED headlights in the regulatory barriers are being broken, more LED will be used for automotive far and near light.

Strategy Analytics said that early implementation will be subject to cost constraints, LED lighting applications outside the traditional lighting market will take two years. With the LED device manufacturing directly related to the cost of the problem and the additional cost of heat dissipation components and electronic control problems still exist, which will hinder the development of highlighting LED in the production of low profit automotive parts.
