The development of UV in LED Sheng harmony hand extension equipment MOCVD

In new network on August 24th, three new board listed company harmony photoelectric Polytron Technologies Inc announced recently, and Sheng Photoelectric Equipment (Shanghai) Limited by Share Ltd reached a strategic cooperation, jointly with developers extension of deep UV growth equipment MOCVD, and promote the development of deep purple technology in related fields.

Insiders pointed out that through strategic cooperation with the upstream enterprises in Sheng Photoelectric Science and technology will be in harmony, deep UV LED industrial layout again quick step, to extend the industrial chain to the upstream and downstream equipment company health applications, to promote the company to quickly complete the strategic transformation, greater health and consumer goods market indicates that the company enter a more imagination strategic growth period.

Deep UV LED products derived from the blue ocean market high-tech threshold

According to public information, sterilization effect is higher based on the advantages of deep UV light is shorter than the 300nm has more applications in lighting, sterilization, medical, printing, biochemical detection, high density information storage and security communication etc.. But in view of the high technical threshold of deep UV LED products, manufacturers need to have a system of equipment, technology, manufacturing and other design and development capabilities, thus creating a high margin of the industry chain blue ocean market.

Yole D veloppement in the latest report "UVLED technology, manufacturing and application trends" pointed out that the UV LED wavelength around 380nm (UV LED) technology has been in the field of curing (inks, adhesives and coatings) has been widely used in deep ultraviolet (265-280nm) UV LED development opportunities will gradually usher in a new the application into the disinfection and purification. UV LED (deep UV LED) is expected to grow from about $90 million in 2014 to at least $520 million in 2019. In view of the wide application of UV LED (deep UV LED) in the field of general lighting, horticultural lighting, biological medical equipment, elimination of hospital infection, water purification and other new areas, its development potential is not to be underestimated.

There is no international commercial deep UV MOCVD epitaxial growth equipment provider, and deep UV LED epitaxial growth are various manufacturers own R & D and production of small non commercial equipment, the bottleneck of large-scale production is yet to be a breakthrough.

In the field of deep UV LED technology to extend the industrial chain layout harmony again

According to LEDinside Research Report on the LED industry, with the continuous increase in demand, from 2015 to 2018 LED overall industry capacity utilization will be more than 70%. LED chips as one of the important industrial chain will also benefit, including the core technology R & D enterprises will continue to expand production capacity, access to greater market share.

The need for the rapid development of science and technology to the LED industry, which has always attached great importance to the development of core technology investment, in 2014 the company R & D investment 22 million 5 thousand and 800 yuan, the first half of 2015 R & D investment of 9 million 306 thousand and 500 yuan. At present, the company has 51 patents and 9 utility model patents, including high efficiency high power LED epitaxial wafer and chip industrialization project "has been identified as the Ministry of science and technology" project of national Torch Program industrial demonstration". It is reported that UV health chip will be the focus of future development of harmony.

LED upstream dark horse rapid growth

The April 28, 2011 workshop commences the construction of harmony photoelectric, completion of the construction and installation of plant equipment within four months. The next three years made industry frightening achievement. 2012 revenues of 66 million 866 thousand and 300 yuan, net profit of $1 million 497 thousand and 600 in 2013 revenue of $232 million, net profit of $10 million 812 thousand in revenue in 2014 was $369 million, net profit of $64 million 267 thousand.

The harmony development of science and technology, LED epitaxial wafer and chip since its inception has been engaged in the production and sales operations. The main products are GaN based high brightness blue, green epitaxial wafers and LED chips. The company produces high brightness blue, green, purple and LED chips can be widely used in the downstream packaging, backlight and lighting, such as high-end applications. The company's profit comes mainly from LED epitaxial chip and chip sales profit. It is reported that harmony technology currently has 30 units of MOCVD equipment, which can produce high quality epitaxial wafers 1 million 800 thousand, and will continue to expand production capacity.

In May 7th this year, perfect technology approved in the National SME share transfer system listed.

And released into the deep ultraviolet equipment R & D cooperation news at the same time, the harmony of science and technology released 2015 report shows that first half operating income of 154 million yuan, net profit of 23 million 79 thousand and 400 yuan, net profit growth rate of 21.24%; asset liability ratio decreased from 46% to 49% at the end of last year, the liquidity ratio rose to 2.14, attributable to shareholders of the listed company the net assets per share will increase to 2.02 yuan, the Solvency Index were improved at the end of last year; the net cash flow from operating activities was 11 million 706 thousand and 900 yuan, while last year the net cash flow of -36.06 million, the company operating cash recovery was significantly improved.
