Taiwan LED fold in Q2 prices bottomed out, the upper reaches of the high capacity expansion, downstream SMD full load

Taiwan's LED industry has gone through the bottom of the Q1 thin quarter, although in April revenue is still not fully back to the temperature, but the capacity utilization rate increased to 7~8, the rate of decline in the stability of the ASP, the second quarter decline in the price of control between 5%~10%. Part of the downstream packaging plant, said SMD LED product applications to expand, and even orders more than the capacity of the situation, so SMD products have almost no price space. Although the 2008 Q2 LED overall demand is not strong if back to the temperature in 2007 Q2 demand, only show a slow recovery, but the demand for Q3 in 2008 outlook remains optimistic, but mainly optimistic about NB, mobile phone, 7 inch LCD panel backlight, Wang quarter demand for outdoor lighting and other traditional, although the new machine has been installed machine, but during the verification and test machine manufacturers epitaxial is adjustable, so the manufacturer will be waiting for the sharp rebound in demand at the beginning of the machine will be officially launched mass production, so that most of the time will fall in 2008 Q3 certification, the current average price of the whole product pressure is small, will help manufacturers to maintain interest in.
