Taiwan Institute of AC LED product volume production expected in 2009

Taiwan development AC LED technology for four years to 2008 100 international science and Technology Innovation Award affirmed by many international companies has gradually entered the commercialization stage. At present, has been applied in the reading light and display backlight module, is expected in 2009 production.

According to statistics, in 2007 the global light source output value of indoor and outdoor, up to $60 billion. Following the European Union, Canada, the United States and Australia, China's Taiwan region will follow up in 2012 a comprehensive elimination of incandescent bulbs. With energy saving and environmental characteristics of the LED is regarded as the star of the lighting market, which gives a new concept of operation AC LED, by the attention of all walks of life. The Institute completed the preliminary overall layout of the patent, and with the Taiwan Jing Bao, Lite, Howard and other nineteen manufacturers, composed of "AC LED application development alliance", hope this technology can contribute to an industry.

ITRI deputy leader Ye Wenyong said, "AC LED is because like using the traditional light source as convenient light source and belongs to LED, environmental protection and energy saving light and short, so it can estimate the future application of products gradually from relatively small power, like the small bulbs of 5 watts, 10 watts, slowly gradually replaced and even to the entire office, indoor and outdoor lighting module, all have the potential to be replaced AC LED light source.
