Force crystal continental LED plant next year put into operation

According to Taiwan "Central News Agency" report, China, optimistic about the LED market, Taiwan Powerchip semiconductor LED factory in Xuzhou, is expected to put into production. Powerchip chairman Huang Chongren said yesterday, Xuzhou good location and convenient transportation, is the ancient military a hotly contested spot, so set up a factory in Xuzhou.

According to statistics, China, light emitting diode (LED) backlight LCD TV in the first half of this year retail sales of 925 thousand units, the market penetration rate of approximately 10.6%, estimated at the end of this year, LED backlight LCD TV market penetration will reach 25%, coupled with the mainland to expand domestic demand, color TV to the countryside policy, the LED market is very optimistic.

Because LED is a kind of semiconductor process, memory and DRAM process are similar, so the semiconductor factory such as TSMC and UMC, Li Jing, have plans to set up factories in the mainland investment LED, is one of the many semiconductor factory diversification choice.

The day before the PSC announcement will be $15 million through third investment in upstream LED industry Jing Wang photoelectric (Xuzhou), is expected to LED epitaxial grain, mainly for the group diversification direction, to inject resources.

Force crystal is expected to invest $300 million in the mainland's LED plant, the chairman Huang Chongren pointed out that the crystal Wang photoelectric LED plant has begun to build, hoping to be put into operation next year.

Why choose Xuzhou, Huang Chongren said, Xuzhou is located in the provinces interchange, a railway to Shanghai and Beijing, also have the Longhai Railway West to Lanzhou to the northwest, and the center of East China, and the essence of Chinese in East China, from three to Xu mussels battle, since ancient times is the military is a hotly contested spot, Jiangsu Province focus on the development of location, so the choice of Xuzhou as the plant site.
