LED Driver IC became the prelude to the cooperation of the two companies in Taiwan

Recently, some financial institutions investors that the world advanced IC Limited by Share Ltd (VISC) won the Fitpower Integrated for the production of light-emitting diode Technology (LED) driver integrated circuit (IC) multiple OEM orders, the prelude is between TSMC and Foxconn cooperation. Silicon foundry giant TSMC has a 25% stake in the world's advanced integrated circuit Limited by Share Ltd, while Hon Hai is a shareholder of Fitpower. Hon Hai declined to comment on the report above; the world advanced IC Limited by Share Ltd executives pointed out that, taking into account the optimistic market prospects, it began to get involved in the LED Driver IC foundry production in the third quarter. But the two companies have refused to confirm their customers. The world's advanced integrated circuit Limited by Share Ltd executives said the company will be the second half of next year to derive a high power driver IC foundry production business. These integrated circuits can be used in a backlight module in a small LCD panel. Industry observers pointed out, Foxconn plans to expand the scope of business to the light emitting diode epitaxy chip production areas, and because the world advanced IC Limited by Share Ltd has rich experience in the production of silicon wafer chip so it is possible in the field of Hon Hai will become a partner. Financial institutions investors pointed out that the chip is an important chip chip manufacturing materials, but Hon Hai is not possible for the need to invest a lot of time in the primary stage of production, and the purchase of expensive machines. In addition, the company may also face the problem of internal production of light-emitting diode chips. Therefore, Hon Hai is likely to cooperate with the world's advanced IC Limited by Share Ltd. The world's advanced integrated circuit Limited by Share Ltd last quarter production utilization of 104%, and will be full load operation in the quarter. In the last quarter, the company sent 233 thousand units of wafers, an increase of 12.8% over the previous quarter. The company expects shipments will continue to rise this quarter.
