Crystal power: 08 years of growth momentum from AlGaln LED and InGaN LED, each with a capacity of 100% and 45% growth

Crystal electric executive vice Mingjun week 31 afternoon to participate in the performance of listed companies "Stock Exchange" will be published in 2008 that the crystal electric main engine for growth from AlGaln LED, InGaN LED, the application scope of AlGaln LED more and more extensive, including outdoor screen, crystal electric low base have great room for growth, and crystal 2008 AlGaln LED capacity doubled, from the current 80KK to 150KK, InGaN and LED in 2008 also has 45% growth capacity.

EPISTAR before November revenue of 9 billion 369 million yuan, the first three quarters after EPS was 3.04 yuan, in 2007 three a crystal electric merger, turnover growth of nearly 50% in the gross margin, also increased from 28% in 2005 to 32% in the first 3 quarters of this year.

Zhou Mingjun said, crystal electric four major product lines including AlGaln LED, InGaN LED, AlGaAs Epi and Silicon Line, and the main products for the first two, the production capacity, Zhou Junming said, AlGaln LED is estimated to be the world's largest production capacity, including HB products for 1600KK/ months, UHB for 80KK/ months, and in INGaN LED production capacity in the world's top three, the capacity is 800KK/ month.

In the patent application, said Zhou Mingjun, crystal electricity in three after a patent has been, the largest industry in Taiwan LED, which has been published in 435, in the application of the article has 387.

The application of LED in the mobile phone is still holding the largest, including digital cameras, and PDA, but the future will shift to medium size, including digital photo frame, Eee PC LED, but the future is likely to use a large number of applications to display and television, currently include Samsung, LG etc. have begun to use LED as backlight in addition to the light source, special lighting, LED applications include flashlight, projection lamp, outdoor lamp and tunnel lamp etc..

Looking at the prospect of LED industry in 2008, said Zhou Mingjun, 2008 LED growth rate of about 15%, the application of hand-held products as the main growth force, is expected to have 4 growth, 7-10 inches of small and medium size backlight penetration will from 2007 45% to 2008 60%, NB display is one of the largest growth next year, the current penetration rate is only 3%, 2008 will grow to 10%-15%, in addition, the high POWER LED will be strong growth.

The risk and uncertainty in the part, Zhou Mingjun said, in the LCD TV backlight source, some people use RGB in technology, some people use PCW technology, development is not yet mature, each with the technology is different, also considering the cost of the currently used LED LCD TV backlight when compared with the current CCFL is 2-3 times the price; while in the street, there are still many regulations and standards, whether 2008 will be used, there is still time point.
