LED epitaxial crystal electric Taiwan factory consider LED chip price hike

LED industry due to the massive expansion in the various manufacturers, raw material supply because of tight price phenomenon, including the upper reaches of the sapphire substrate, gas, for the epitaxy of LED epitaxial chip LED, there have been price movements. LED epitaxial Taiwan factory may be because of the price and the movements of the manufacturers should EPISTAR, canyuan, GA, the new century, Taigu and so on.

LED leading crystal power plant deputy general manager and chief spokesman Zhang Shixian pointed out that foreign, upstream of the LED epitaxial sapphire substrate such as Q2 average price of about 20%, special gas prices also rose, although the proportion of the share of the cost is not very high, but the price has been discussed and customer related matters.

Guangjia photoelectric chairman Chen Jincai also announced that the company has for the first international customer price, domestic customers are still in communication. Affected by the shortage of raw materials, international companies such as Seoul semiconductor has agreed to price hike, Guangjia LED chip shipments to Seoul semiconductor prices 5%~10%.

If LED chip prices, whether the downstream LED packaging applications will rise? This is a key point of observation, but industry sources, because the LED downstream of many competitors, the probability of short-term price is not high, but also limited to expand the market because of the downstream industry will really go to the price should not too much.
