LED industry downturn when the big coffee is to do so

This year LED industry downturn, backlight two application demand is weak and prices fell, they had to find another way. In addition to Hong Qi textile development light, billion light also cut into the sweeping robot, crystal power push UV LED; three and military cooperation, research and development of LiFi visible light communication.

This year, the price of LED lighting is too much to kill, backlight demand is not as expected, resulting in Taiwan LED group profit all the tragic fall. The upstream epitaxial crystal power plant Q3 operating loss of more than 1 billion 500 million yuan (NT, the same below), is the most tragic package; leading billion light Q3 earnings per share 0.96 yuan, compared with the same period last year reduced by more than 4, reflecting the industry downturn.

They are trying to find a way out, in October this year, LEDinside held the annual forum, crystal power, crystal Optoelectronics Research about UV upstream manufacturers, LED application, to replace the mercury lamp used for printing, curing, curing semiconductor sterilization market. In addition, at the beginning of this year also published crystal electric silicon gallium nitride can be used for the power supply, power supply module in the bulb volume LED significantly reduced the crystal electric R & D Vice President Xie Mingxun said, even in the future, mobile phone and laptop device power applications, will shrink to the size of the thumb charger.

Billion light product line scattered by the impact of backlight lighting is lower than the industry, but also push new applications. The traditional SMD package billion light for consumption of home appliance market, the original share high and the profit is better than the backlight, the recent billion light also played the LED module for infrared contact induction sweeping robot, in addition to the European market are widely used, the rapid growth of asia.

Wang Qi launched textile light, using the automated machine, the LED module into the main thread, sports apparel consumer market; in addition, Hong Qi with small spacing display board experience, this year in the transparent display board, wearable display board field, the former is used to store window, hypermarkets, neither impede the display of goods again, can push advertising messages; the latter will drive IC and RGB package with a flexible soft board, used in the election vest, movable advertisement.

In addition, chip manufacturers three foot GaAs field, the future will supply China PA (power amplifier) design, smart lighting applications with the Shanghai Aerospace Institute to develop LiFi visible light communication, but is currently limited to military research and development cooperation.
