Demand is not expected to light the second phase of the SMD expansion plan extended to next year

Affected by the demand is not as good as expected, China's Taiwan region, some LED manufacturers in 2008 plans to expand or slow down expansion. Among them, LED packaging manufacturers billion light was originally expected to be greatly expanded SMD production capacity this year, but the first stage was originally expected to expand to 1 billion, currently only expanded to 900 million, expanded to 1 billion remains to be seen whether. As for the original second phase to be extended to the 1 billion 200 million, it has been determined to defer to 2009.

Among them, the SMD Sideview monthly production capacity has been expanded from last year's 50KK to the current 380KK. Lightbar monthly production capacity has also been from the original 1KK, extended to 400KK. However, since the third quarter since the demand for small and medium size backlight is still relatively warming, billion light in August this year, revenue exceeded $1 billion hit a new high after a single month, the estimated revenue in September will be another high.
