Ready LED backlight has gradually become the focus of growth

As LED backlight with life and color, performance and environmental advantages, the industry has been optimistic expectations to replace the CCFL backlight has become a trend in the future will become the focus of LED industry growth.

According to experts pointed out that LED is the third generation semiconductor lighting materials, with energy-saving, long life, small size, safety, pollution-free, maintenance free, fast response characteristics. As a result of superior performance, from the second half of last year, LED backlight notebook computers have introduced several models, as for the LED for large-size LCD TV, the market is expected in 2007 will slowly warming.

To strengthen the layout in the field of backlight, the LED manufacturers have actively attack potential.

Taiwan Wellypower has announced, will be in the amount of NT $150 million, LED investment industry even Yong Huangshang photoelectric science and technology; set up lighting division, have been put into production the backlight module below 2.5 inch, and 4 inch and 7 inch products launched in the near future. In addition, in the photo to OSRAM R & D investment authorization, LED package, radiant opto electronics also said that does not rule out the direct cross business field of LED.

It is understood that in 2006 the 7 inch panel white LED market demand of about 450 million. Among them, the market for small and medium size applications below 10 inch panel, in addition to mobile phone panel, 7 inch panel shipments also accounted for a large proportion of the proportion, the application scope of DVD Player panel consists of portable and cars with DVD panel, TRI estimated that in 2006 7 inch panel shipments of approximately 30 million 300 thousand, if the power LED is calculated. 7 inch panel white LED market size of about 450 million, small and medium size white LED market size reached more than 2 billion 100 million. LED has a huge business opportunities, which also caused the manufacturers targeting the LED backlight market.

In the LED backlight market, short-term LED is limited by the high cost, the market application not widely, but as long as can effectively reduce the cost of LED backlight, until all the mature market, application market LED into large size screen backlight source, is expected to fully replace CCFL. It will also help bring greater profit margins for the industry.
