HBLED or material limitations due to shortage

A research report pointed out that the high brightness LED LCD TV for the second half of 2010, the rapid growth may be due to a shortage of key semiconductor materials limited.

The research report pointed out that the LCD TV with LED backlight module equipment demand has soared, especially in the production of gallium nitride (gallium nitride, GaN) metal organic chemical vapor deposition LED system (MOCVD) equipment, and metal organic matter three methyl gallium (Trimethylgallium, TMG), sapphire wafer (sapphire wafer) also began to appear a similar situation.

Capacity expansion plan has begun to implement is expected to ease the tight situation in the middle of 2011, before the GaN based high brightness LED average price will remain at a high level.
