Japanese LED driver IC business, Dongguang strengthen capacity expansion 10 times 2008

Electronic component manufacturers plan to strengthen LED drive IC business dongguang. The day before the development of new products can be compared with the existing IC driver 2 times the number of LED, and to produce 50 thousand pieces of production scale. Will lock the use of a large number of LED lighting equipment, the use of more than medium-sized display panel backlight sales. 2010 years ago, the program will be the cause of revenue compared to the estimated value of the year 2007, an increase of 8.

The new product can be a single chip supply 20 LED power and adjust the brightness, the company will produce the coil, power semiconductor with a combination of ways to promote the proposal. Production capacity will be 10 times as high as it is now, before the fall of next year. In addition, the process will be improved to reduce costs. Responsible for semiconductor wafer subsidiary Tateyama Device wafer production line circuit process guided by a 0.64 micron to 0.35 microns conversion. Hope to enhance the production efficiency and product function. More subtle circuit products will actively use the technology and capacity of the external foundries.

The company's LED drive IC originally to mobile phones and other small LCD panel backlight, camera flash applications. The new product is due to the LCD panel backlight gradually converted from CCFL to LED, as well as the lighting equipment manufacturers to launch commercial facilities LED products increasing trend. Is expected to strengthen the quality management mechanism in 2009, the future also plans to expand the target market of automobile application.
