LED backlight market is highly optimistic with substantial market growth

According to AUO’s forecasts, global LED TV penetration will reach 3~5% in 2009, and continue its climb to 10% in 2010. In facing tighter supply of LED chips in 2010, Epistar remains AUO’s primary supplier. Meanwhile, Lexstar, AUO’s own chipmaker, has been positioned as a chip solution provider, focusing on R&D to design the most suitable chip for LED TV. Lextar has recently completed the setup of its manufacturing plant in June, and has already commissioned 2 ~ 4 machines for small-scale trial production. Earliest chip production, though in small quantity, is expected in the third quarter.

Meanwhile, Sharp has also expressed that it will be converting its entire production line to LED TV in 2011; this will further stimulate the explosive growth of LED backlight panels in 2010. Taiwan’s upstream LED makers have accelerated their capacity expansion plans to fulfill the demand gap – before year end, Epistar and FOREPI will each introduce 10 and 11 high-brightness Blue-ray MOCVD systems respectively. Similarly, Samsung LED is also on track with capacity expansion, adding 5 new MOCVD systems per month.

According to AUO, even though global penetration of LED monitors is only 2 ~ 3% in 2009, the outlook for global LED backlight market is highly optimistic with substantial market growth. Chen added, AUO’s internal estimates of LED monitor shipment ratio is to reach 10 ~ 15%, higher than that of the global market. AUO Executive Vice President Paul Peng said that LED backlight will gradually be introduced in its monitors, starting with the 18.5-inch and 20-inch, due to their minimal price difference.

The new orders are expected to be completed and recognized primarily during the second half of 2009. In total, this brings 2009 Efficient Lights orders from major retailers to over $13 million, as the Company has realized a significant uptake in order flow this year from this state-of-the-art technology.Available in 3000k, 4000k and 5000k white LED colour options. This all in one OEM light engine includes an onboard 12v AC/DC LED driver suitable for use with either 12v PSU’s or halogen transformers. This onboard driver is fully dimmable and compatible with most conventional halogen dimmable transformers. Vexica offers the VEX 70 to OEM’s for various applications uses. The module can be designed around for use in down lights, track lights or general interior lighting applications.

Entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs

The number and breadth of applications that require amber LEDs is tremendous,” said Frank Harder, VP of Product Marketing at Philips Lumileds. “Markets including automotive, entertainment, roadway, signaling, and many others use amber LEDs. With better efficiency and more light output, LUXEON Rebel PC amber makes it that much easier to reduce energy consumption with an environmentally friendly product.lamps to LEDs because they didn’t produce enough light and couldn’t operate effectively at higher temperatures. With the advances provided by LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, yellow traffic signals will be converted, warning lights and beacons on vehicles and obstructions will switch and entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs. numbers of amber LEDs. With LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, manufacturers will be able to use fewer LEDs and lower other component costs because of the improved light output and particularly the stable color over temperature, something that has been problematic for many ...
