The initial LED layout 09 years set contrarian growth of several major areas

The industry generally believe that 2009 will be the field of flat-panel display adjustment year, new technology with LED backlight led to traditional flat-panel display technology to launch a strong provocation, and then coupled with the impact of the economic crisis, the display industry will be a survival of the fittest big action. In the face of the panel industry shrinking background, SONY, Samsung, LG, DELL and other large companies to build a large amount of LED backlight products, LED has become the Savior of the panel industry.

According to market research firm iSuppli predicts that in 2009 global LED sales are expected to grow by 2.9% contrarian, although the growth rate is lower than in 2008 of 10.8%, but the performance is still far better than other sales decline in electronic component product categories. 2009, LED in the field of backlight growth is mainly concentrated in LCD TV, notebook computers, especially the application of Netbook.

LCD TV

ISuppli expects the demand for LED total 2009 global LCD TV market will reach $163 million, compared with $51 million in 2008 increased 221.9%; by 2012, LCD TV demand for LED amount will further grow to $1 billion 400 million, compared with 2009 jumped nearly 9 times.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which is held in Las Vegas every year, has long been regarded as a barometer of the consumer electronics industry. CES 2009, SONY, Samsung and other major brands of LED backlight LCD TV popular, it is not difficult to see the direction of the major manufacturers and technical trends. And LED prices fell and the advent of high brightness products have increased the popularity of LED LCD TV backlight applications. ISuppli is expected to use the current LED backlight LCD TV 40-42 average price and the use of cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) between the models have been reduced to $200-500.

Notebook computer

LED backlight panel is the future development direction of LCD backlight technology, notebook computers have a fatal temptation. In addition to the LED display amazing, it features energy saving will greatly prolong battery life. The advent of the new generation of operating system Vista and the gradual popularization of the is to promote the application of LED in the notebook computer. Due to the high performance requirements of the Vista hardware, resulting in increased power consumption books, and LED backlight technology can effectively extend battery life, will gradually become one of the essential efforts of various notebook manufacturers. Including Toshiba, ASUS, apple, DELL, HP, Acer, LG, Lenovo and other brands have launched notebook computer equipped with LED backlight LCD screen.

DELL announced before the end of 2009 listed products LED backlight notebook accounted for 80%. ASUS also said LED backlight products not resigned to playing second fiddle, 2009 will account for 50% of its 16:9 screen models. Therefore, the industry believes that in 2009 the penetration rate of LED backlight source in the field of notebook computer and other large size panel to further increase, according to Taiwan media forecast, LED backlight in the notebook computer products (excluding Netbook) permeability, 2009 will see 37.5%, as for LED backlight Netbook penetration will reach 100%.

LED backlight packaging manufacturers pattern

Through the enterprise positioning adjustments, the current LED backlight forces in the territory has been largely tentative to packaging factory, will be South Korea and China's Taiwan region three world situation, Japan will be Nichia and TOYOTA synthesis, South Korea is Seoul semiconductor and Lumens, and China's Taiwan region is, billion light and Lite East Bay. At present, can not be a large size panel backlight occupy a place Bai Hong, Acer Qi, and so on, will be the main LED lighting (is in the LED street lights, Acer Qi is a high-power LED lighting).

In short, the attention of the manufacturers, price incentives, as well as technological progress, so that we have reason to look forward to the prospects of the 2009 LED in the global backlight applications. In fact, in recent years, China's mainland has no action in the field of LED backlight: July 2007, Hisense electric and the BOE "TFT-LCD large size LED backlight module research and industrialization project for television; in July 2008, Hisense LED backlight LCD TV production; in August 2008, Lenovo S9, S10 two new products to enter the netbook market...... 2009 China's LED backlight industry will give us what surprises, let us wait and see.
