Considering the cost of AUO whether TV all use LED is still under evaluation

Taiwan panel makers AUO said that by the end of 2011, NB backlight will all use LED, an average of more than the LED backlight market value, as for the LED TV panel, AUO a small amount of production in 2008, mainly in the 40 inch panel, TV panel, LED backlight used because there are problems need to consider the cost of whether to follow the NB panel, pace of replacement, still needs to be assessed.

Compared with 2000, the glass substrate area in 2008 increased by 22 times, and the next 2 years, the glass substrate area is expected to expand by more than 1.4 times in 2008, in this case, it is bound to consume a lot of energy. In order to promote the green commitment and AUO, has set out a clear goal of ecological benefit index "2010 877", also is compared with 2004, 2010, the utilization rate of resource recycling AUO will reach 80%, greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced 70%, and the water will drop 70% target.

AUO is home to the first Taiwan area "EPD third" global environmental declaration certificate of the company, the green commitment (AUO Green Solutions) the AUO will include green innovation, green procurement, green production, green logistics, green service and green regeneration 6 categories. In order to reduce the use of green innovation, will reduce the amount of mercury lamp, through innovative design, including 26 inches, 32 inches of HD HD, Full HD 37 inches and 46 inches Full HD panel, the power consumption can be reduced, the mercury content of 30%~50% 40%~50%.

AUO has decided at the end of 2011, all of the NB panel will use the LED backlight, AUO said the Institute estimated that in 2011, the NB panel market using LED backlight penetration will reach 45%, while the estimated annual average AUO goals of their own use of LED backlight in 2011 will reach 87%, much higher than the market numerical.

In this case, the foreseeable AUO will be a large-scale using LED, and to supply their own products, because of considerable importance to AUO LED layout, so in addition to the upper LED AUO industry very seriously, the new plant is expected to start mass production in 2009.
