LED grain supply will continue until the end of the tight

The second quarter of this year LED TV and LED NB LED grain supply and demand rise, the second quarter of last year compared with a smooth white LED price, research firm LEDinside said the second half of the need to observe Korean LED manufacturers can produce grain upstream smooth production, and Taiwan manufacturers LED grain expansion schedule, tight supply situation will be estimated extended to the end of the year to ease.

LEDisnide according to the survey data show that the current high power LED brightness above 80Lm/W products due to demand, the second quarter price is generally flat or slightly down about 5%, the price range between 1.5 to 2 U.S. dollars, as for 60-70Lm/W high power LED price, because the supply of more than quarter decline of about 10% at present, the price of about 0.8 to $1.2 range.

LEDinside further pointed out that, because of the grain supply is tight, and even LED grain sizes have price situation, the recent LED in large size backlight application and LED lighting demand the most exuberant. Especially since last year, LED substantial price cuts, NB manufacturers to import a large proportion of LED backlight jump. In addition, the large size LED TV in Samsung actively pull goods, resulting in LED grain supply chain appears significantly tight phenomenon.

In the lighting field, since last year Chinese LED packaging factory and lighting applications manufacturers continue to increase, resulting in the first quarter of this year since the use of LED lighting specifications needs warm.

The second season of LEDinside: LED NB backlight penetration greatly increased to 42% in the second half NB specifications for the LED demand will continue to increase

White LED in NB application, a positive NB brands into LED backlight attitude, the LEDinside survey shows that the second quarter LED NB backlight penetration increases to 42%, the second half of the year almost all NB models into LED backlight, the second half of NB specifications for the LED demand will continue to increase.

Currently in the NB application, Toyoda Gosei and Nichia to the supplier or the highest market share. The main specifications of NB 2000 to 2300mcd, price between 0.07 to 0.15 U.S. dollars, Japanese brands and Taiwan brand price gap is still very large, due to the recent high brightness grain supply is tight, so the Japanese manufacturers have not substantially reduce the price to grab market share.
