LED full capacity 3-4 monthly revenue continued to warm

LED backlight application of large-scale acceleration, the blue LED manufacturers EPISTAR since March - capacity Blu ray LED utilization rate also reached full. Crystal electricity pointed out that although the current four yuan LED capacity utilization of about 40%-50% or lower, but also higher than before. Currently orders visibility of up to April, is expected to 3-4 month revenue will continue to return to the market, in early March revenue 7-8 billion yuan of new Taiwan dollars, an increase of 10% over the previous month.

For the recent LED high brightness products market turned hot, crystal electric said that the situation is indeed better than January to early February when many good. Blu ray LED capacity utilization has improved significantly since late February, but due to the first half of the average capacity utilization is still poor, so in February revenue is not very good. Since March this year, Blu ray LED capacity has reached full load, the current visibility of orders can be seen in the year of April. Due to increased production capacity, from the shipment to recognize the revenue as well as the gap on time, is expected to benefit from the recent short single will gradually reflect the 3-4 month revenue.

At present, a total of 170 MOCVD crystal machine, in which the number of blue LED machine has a total of 110 units, the number of LED units of four yuan, there are 60. Another 10 R & D platform. In December last year, the average capacity utilization rate dropped to 40% water level, in January this year, the average capacity utilization fell to more than 30%. However, with the large size of the panel backlight high brightness LED orders increased, the crystal blue LED capacity utilization gradually rising. Four yuan LED current capacity utilization also rebounded to 40%-50%.

Crystal power in late February this year, Blu ray LED capacity utilization increased to 80% levels, the use of the capacity of about LED yuan about 20%-30%, the overall average capacity utilization rate of about 60%, crystal electricity in February revenue of about NT $688 million. The industry is expected, in March this year, revenue will rise to 7-8 billion yuan level, about 10% more than last month.
