The new application of panel market demand increase increase LED

Number of new applications LED in 2006, and with the increase of LED to enhance the effectiveness of the application feasibility in large size backlight panel, panel manufacturers begin to pay close attention to LED in backlight applications. Optimistic forecast, the second quarter, with the increase in traditional LED orders, coupled with the use of white light LED surface began to penetrate, the dealer's revenue will be higher than the spot in, in February this year, the panel will gradually increase the demand for LED. LED market at present is worth noting is that the past two years due to drive LED growth is fast mobile phone applications, estimated the next year will continue to grow, but after 2006, LED will show a slowdown in the mobile phone application value. Experts believe that the future will be replaced by the new application areas of LED, will be based on automotive lighting, display, camera flash, panel backlight and indoor lighting market, etc.. In the application of LCD panel backlight source, LED will have the potential for growth.

Industry believes that if the LED panel on the application of mature, a moon panel product demand for LED is as high as one billion, but the current domestic production of high order and manufacturers in Taiwan at the present stage, to cut into the panel industry production capacity is not much, so in order to produce high prone the case of shortage, the industry should be more involved in the field of backlight.

It is reported that, due to the LED market application gradually warming, is expected next year there will be 10% to 20% of the small and medium size panels using LED backlight. In large size, with the development of LED technology, the heat of LCD-TV continued to be solved, expected the second half of next year will be part of the LCD-TV backlight began using LED, expected next year, LCD-TV backlight products will have about 5% by LED.

Because the trend of LED application in the panel is quite obvious, it is understood that the CMO plans into the LED, and the group through Wellypower investment LED epitaxial plant Yong Lian technology, and for the upcoming canyuan cash capital increase, also reported a panel factory intends to stake. At present, Everlight also received 7 inch panel orders Foxconn group's Innolux, using LED as back light source luminous panel is detonated phenomenon.

Because many 3.5 generation panel plant to do all the small and medium size, market to accelerate the demand for white LED. Spot prices show that the first quarter of the first half of the white LED market has begun a large number of shipments. Industry said that this year in addition to the smaller size of mobile phone backlight, white LED will also be extended to more than 7 inch display.
