ISuppli, a market research firm, says LED backlight will dominate the notebook market

According to market research firm iSuppli said, due to low power consumption, thin, light weight and environmental protection, LED will be in the next few years to occupy the notebook PC display backlight market. Before 2012, the size of the notebook panel 10 Taichung 9 will use LED technology.

ISuppli expects 90% of large size LCD Notebook PC manufacturers in 2012 will be using LED as a backlight of the display, from only the fourth quarter of 2007 rose by only 4.7%. By the end of 2008, LED backlighting in large size panel shipments will reach 17 million 400 thousand units.

ISuppli defines a large size LCD panel with a diagonal size of 10 inches or more. Despite the higher utilization rate of LED backlight in notebook PCs, but the demand for cold cathode fluorescent lamp is very limited. This is because the laptop is only the size of the LCD cold cathode fluorescent lamp contains a very small percentage of the demand for TV and display a greater share.

The key part of power consumption, a 13.3 inch White LED notebook panel than the traditional cold cathode fluorescent lamp products consume less than 20% and thin and light of 20% and 40%.

LED in these areas are better than the cold cathode fluorescent lamp, but in terms of price lost to it, the three color LED backlight is still much more expensive than the cold cathode fluorescent backlight. However, panel suppliers began to develop their own LED backlight technology to reduce costs.

The improvement of the yield is another important factor to reduce the cost. The yield of LED panel is still quite low, and panel manufacturers are working to improve the yield. White LED backlight notebook panel price difference in the next few years will be narrowed to $10.

Panel suppliers have also introduced thinner and higher new products than the old models and have higher contrast, which helps to improve the adoption rate. In addition, the new research is looking for ways to improve the color gamut of white LED panels, panel suppliers continue to launch in the 15.4 and 17 inches in the size of the tricolor LED notebook panel. Mainly for high-end products.
