The global LED market is growing by 26%

According to South Korea industry research firm DISPLAYBANK estimates, the global light emitting diode (LED) market size from 2008 to 2013 the average annual growth of 26%. The panel backlight and lighting market grew by an average of 121% per year, respectively, by 52%.

Recently, Samsung and LG (LG) and other large manufacturers, due to the LED chip, packaged into the downstream application of LED vertical integration, large-scale strategic investment, improve the competitiveness of the LED industry.

At the same time, the relevant equipment and semiconductor design industry is also optimistic about the development of the LED market, have been actively involved in related equipment and semiconductor development.

Last year, the side of the type (Edge) LED backlight TV debut, the industry uses 4 sides of the design method of 6, that is, in the top and bottom of the panel to put the lights and the left and right sides of each put a light bar. After LED heating 3D LED LCD TV market, Samsung Electronics, the new open, the new LED backlight design different from the old or 4 full wrapped, using the simplified design of each of the following two bilateral 4 LED light bar.

In order to reduce the cost of the industry, the LED backlight module has been used to simplify the design and try to design a single side or two side single side light output method.
