But the day before the market from Japan LED maker Nichia (Nichia) will also cut into this market, probably points out some LED Taiwan factory market share.

LED upstream of the plant is to help the Japanese crystal LED, a major producer of TOYOTA foundry, LED packaging plant and backlight module factory using side view mode to create a backlight module, so that the general application of the backlight source can be frivolous. The low cost of pen electric Netbook because of the low cost, will use top view backlight source for the LED plant cut points, but compared to side view LED backlight module will produce more than 1.2mm to 1.6mm thickness.

Originally because of the competition to side view high order LED backlight based Nichia, brightness in the side field of view LED products can reach 2300 MCD, more than Taiwan factory at a distance, the Taiwan factory cut with top view in the LED backlight field.
