LED NB continuous heating backlight module manufacturers next year shipments doubled

Along with the application of LED to speed up the pace, although LED NB2007 permeability is about 3%, but in 2008 the penetration at 15~20%, will prompt the LED backlight module next year shipments surge, the photoelectric forecast monthly shipments will challenge 15~20 million, is expected to a new kind of radiant opto electronics in 2008 2Q has launched mass production, monthly production is expected to reach 100 thousand slice.

LED backlight module has the advantages of saving power, simplifying the backlight module structure, low driving voltage, but the biggest challenge is that the cost is too high. According to statistics, when the LED is applied in the 32 inch backlight module, the light source materials account for about 64% of the cost structure of the module, compared to the cold cathode lamp (CCFL) light source accounts for about 22% of the cost, LED backlight cost than the traditional about more than 2 times.

But when used in a 42 inch backlight module, because the product price increases, decreases in LED light source, backlight module cost proportion between them accounted for about 51%, the profit can reach 13%, so as to LED backlight applications of high priced products are niche production.

The industry pointed out that, as the LED LCD TV backlight in 2008 is still unable to take off, the 42 inch LED backlight module is 2 times higher than CCFL cost, with the white LED year forecast, 20~25% decline to 2010, LED backlight module is still higher than the CCFL price of about 0.8~1.3 times, the price cut will be the biggest driving key LED application large size panel.

The NB product of energy saving, the trend towards narrow brimmed panel design, high order NB products will trigger a wave of applications in 2008 of the LED backlight module, Sony, Apple and other international manufacturers have announced the launch of LED NB, the backlight module factory are optimistic about next year shipments surge.

At present, a single month in the radiant NB backlight module shipments amounted to about 2 million units, the 2008 target to expand to 3 million units, with LED NB accounted for 10% of the calculation, monthly shipments of 100 thousand, will be lower than the current single month more than 2 tablets significantly increased. In addition, a single month in the photo on the LED NB backlight module shipments reached 7~8 million, ranking Taiwan manufacturer first, estimated monthly shipments in 2008 will challenge 15~20 million tablets.
