LED market will accelerate the growth of the largest application market is LCD

As an important branch of the new display mode, the development of LED more market attention, the LCD is still the most important market for LED backlight applications. Experts pointed out that with the growing maturity of LED technology, LED market will have a rapid growth in the lighting market is expected next year, LED growth rate will reach two digits.

LED will accelerate the growth of the market

And solid-state lighting industry in 2006 although the 2005 turnover has remained moderate single digit growth rate in 2007, but the industry is expected to promote the turnover growth rate of two digit LED.

ISuppli predicts that in 2007 the overall LED market turnover will rise about 13.7%, 2006-2012 compound annual growth rate of about 14.6%, to 2012 will reach $12 billion 300 million. 2005 and 2006 global LED market turnover increased by only 2.1% and 8.7%, respectively.

Reporter learned that these figures include all the surface mount device (SMD) and via package LED lamp and alphanumeric display LED, including standard brightness, high brightness and ultra-high brightness (HB) (UHB) LED.

The expected growth in a large part, will come from for lighting applications of high brightness and high brightness LED. By 2012, the ultra-high brightness LED will account for about 31% of the overall LED turnover, far higher than in 2005 of the year of 4%.

"Growth in the new stage of LED, the market has a strong demand for solid state lighting key backlight and mobile devices to display, which is the main factors to stimulate the growth of the LED market," iSuppli director and chief analyst, Dr. JagdishRebELlo said, "automotive interior lighting, and TV and notebook computer LCD large screen, these emerging markets will also promote the growth of the LED industry. In addition, solid state lighting technology continues to develop, will also enable LED in the decorative lighting and building lighting market to find new opportunities. "

Largest application market is LCD

Recently, the small screen LCD display and keypad backlight device, is still the largest single market for LED applications. In 2007, these applications will account for more than 25% of the overall LED market turnover.

From the beginning of 2007, the backlight notebook and intuitive LCD TV and other larger size LCD, has become a very important application in LED.

LCD backlight module (BLU) the cost is still higher than that of the traditional CCFLBLU, but the cost is fast approaching two. And LEDBLU has the advantages of performance, such as high contrast, faster boot time, a wide color gamut, and does not contain mercury also helps it to be used in LCD.

LED BLU LCD panel manufacturer, supplier, producer and TV / monitor OEM manufacturers, has now begun to use LED as a backlight of large screen LCD. LEDBLU's big screen LCD also began commercial shipments.

According to iSuppli forecast, 2010 LED lighting will begin for residential and enterprise general lighting. There is no doubt that the future direction of general lighting technology is LED. The market is expanding, and there are reasons to invest in innovative design and creative solutions.
