Taiwan vendors focus on LED drive IC Market

Since the global market demand for LED chips since the second quarter of 2009, that is, looking forward to a strong growth momentum, and even a lot of product applications have come out of the sound, is still unable to solve. The local governments are actively changing LED lights, plus LED advertising panel in 2010 Shanghai World Expo case also gradually opening, the traditional season effect is expected to allow the entire LED industry in the third quarter of 2009 is more prominent, LED driver IC suppliers are also expected to surrender into revenue growth step good performance.

Currently cut into the global LED driven IC market, the IC system design manufacturers, mainly divided into 3 categories. A class is mainly composed of analog IC design company, driven by LED IC circuit design and simulation technology in the design are highly relevant, this is the same root, into the development of LED driver IC product line, including the accumulation, dianjing science, simulation, rich, Maoda, and new toncare etc.. The other is the LCD driver IC suppliers, such as the United States and the Swiss Ting, etc., hope that through the same high-pressure process production technology, to cut into the market.

As for the last class, mainly in digital IC design company jianliexinxi, such as Shenyang, Pucheng and PJM, due to internal terminal market demand is expected to optimistic about the high growth for a long time, so also have the relevant LED driver IC product line. In the face of the LED application has actually offset distribution of 4C products, even in the emerging market economy countries obviously lead back to temperature, and actively expand investment in infrastructure, energy saving and long life cycle of LED lighting and related products, also revealed the rejuvenation boom leading signal.

Taiwan LED driver IC supplier the analog IC design manufacturers the fastest, because the layout time is longer, which focus on the display panel driver IC LED accumulation and dyking market, over the past 3 years have felt shipments increased year by year, and the increasing demand of downstream customers, the reaction product line in drive IC LED, the contribution to the performance, is also increasing year by year, although the first half of the 2009 recession is not optimistic, but the two IC design company's annual revenue amount are significantly reduced compared with the industry downturn.

Has been opened at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo emblem, and will focus on the delivery of half in 2009, with the new lighting IC driver product line with LED, in the third quarter of 2009 is expected to delivery production, accumulation, is expected to become the hottest point on the table LED driver IC stocks. As for the choice of panel, NB and other products into the market simulation science, rich, and fast Jie to new, has notice in 2009 LED driver of the IC product line is expected to be revenue contribution from less than 3% in 2008, rose to the level of 5~15%.

The other Taiwan IC design companies rushing into the global LED driver IC market, because the LED driver IC in the second half of 2008, the first half of 2009 before the advent of the client, market confidence is still need to establish a period of time, so in 2009, eat not too to see the situation, should be able to foresee. However, in the face of the global LED driver IC market demand is beginning to take off, and the power line LED complete industrial chain division, local LED driver IC self-sufficiency rate is low, the company IC Design Department of Taiwan's eyes, internal LED driver IC product line later there is still much room for growth, there may even be a profitable company under a rooster.
