Chi Chi LED built a new factory, one hand patent layout

China's Taiwan region CMO group following the light emitting diode (LED) a factory installed after the start, immediately planning to build LED two factory, two total capacity of nearly 100 sets of MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor phase epitaxy) machine, high LCD panel industry crown, Chi Mei also is working with TOYOTA (TG) negotiate patents, in order to break through the global LED manufacturers set the patent barrier.

In the establishment of AUO lextar electronics, full in the LED extension of industrial development, and discuss the patent licensing and arias, earlier entered the LED industry in Chi Mei, the recent moves are more active, and from the two aspects of plan to build a factory with two patent layout go hand in hand; with the same big lift panel double tiger LED capacity expansion, coupled with the Japanese patent direct negotiation the layout, will impact on our local LED industry in Taiwan area.

The industry believes that the LED chip used is AUO and CMO, with foreign manufacturers, especially Japanese Nichia and TOYOTA synthesis, positive amplification of LED capacity in panel Shuanghu, even greater than the scale of many LED plants, and also directly with foreign manufacturers to negotiate patents, is bound to reduce dependence on the LED industry in Taiwan area in China, the local LED industry from LCD factory orders will follow reduced.

In July 7, 2008, the financial director's CMO confirmed that LED factory factory is a photoelectric Qili extension installed, a total factory will be set up 46 MOCVD machine has been installed about ten, an estimated 46 machine will be installed at the end of next year, all at the same time; Qili photoelectric began planning the two factory, is expected to continue to expand in the factory tree Valley park.

Get NT $4 billion in funds and 12 bank loans in May immediately after the full Qili photoelectric expansion, is also in the fight for the Japanese TOYOTA LED synthesis in patent authorization, capacity and support, the future is expected to become the CMO Qili photoelectric amplification of LED strong backing and support greater development of Chi Mei Group LED lighting market.

Chi Mei Group is optimistic about the development of the LED industry is expected this year, the notebook computer with LED backlight (NB) panel, NB panel CMO will account for 15%, at the end of the year will reach 20%, with the international trend of energy saving and environmental protection considerations, LED lighting market development will be more than in the panel industry scale.

Chi Mei Group was originally optimistic about Qili photoelectric revenue this year can watch 2 billion yuan NT, but due to the expansion of LED machine is faster than the LCD, you can quickly copy the production capacity, annual revenue size will be reduced this year, but still more than 1 billion yuan nt.

Qili photoelectric in tree Valley Park, adjacent to the southern Science Park, is the CMO investment LED manufacturing company. Qili photoelectric technology covers the range from the upper reaches of the chip, Lei (Epi), the middle reaches of the chip (Chip), downstream of the package to the application of LED light source.
