Thin LCD TV demand is rising rapidly

Energy saving and environmental protection

Samsung's latest release of LED TVs are used in the production of side emitting LED LCD TV panel, the panel thickness of only 10.8mm, the size of 40, 46 and 55 inches in three. "Hong Pyo said, for the bigger LED LCD TV, Samsung is positive for the LED industry vertical integration, Samsung Electronics and Samsung's electroplating parts joint venture company Samsung LED, the new company has started operation in April.

Thin LCD TV demand is rising rapidly, because LED is more suitable than CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) to make ultra-thin TV panels, while reducing power consumption by 40%, life is doubled. Samsung is promoting ultra-thin LED LCD TV, and will become the leading manufacturers in this regard. "Hong Pyo said, LED LCD panel Samsung used are from Korean origin, but there are a considerable part of the technology development and product testing is completed in Tianjin TV Samsung Electronics R & D center, the future will drive LED LCD panel back module in Tianjin Samsung display company localization.

Hung into the emphasis, LED light source is not only a significant reduction in the thickness and weight of the TV, and save 40%, but also has a higher reliability and stability. In the light of life, different CCFL rated service life (Ban Liang) between 8000-100000 hours, and LED can reach two times the CCFL. LED TV service life of up to 100 thousand hours, if you press a day to start the calculation of 5 hours, a LED TV can be used for nearly 55 years.

Kim Kwang Jin said, according to market research firm Strategies-Unlimited data, LED global market size is expected to reach $5 billion 200 million in the year to 2013, could reach $12 billion 700 million. "Therefore, the foreign rivals have adopted M&A (mergers and acquisitions), jointly etc. the development of LED industry to the vertical integration and large-scale investment, Samsung also plans to use LED as the new Samsung future growth. "

With the continuous upgrading of the production line, the future of the LCD panel industry competition will face many physical bottlenecks, such as raw materials, process technology, logistics and transport, through the upgrading of the scale to reduce the cost of the road will come to an end. New materials, new technology, new applications, the layout of the new experience, the panel is now stepping up to do things. "In April 24th, AU Optronics general manager Chen LaiZhu expresses to the reporter, 2009 notebook panel shipments AUO will have up to 80% using the LED backlight, is expected to reach 100% by 2010.

"By 2010 there will be 30% LCD TV using LED backlight, gradually replacing the industry generally use the cold cathode tube light source (CCFL). "Chen Laizhu believes that LED TV or a good chance to be the next wave of AUO to catch up with rivals.
