the LED lighting market is expected to see significant growth

The luminance of future LED lighting application products will surpass 80 lumen/W, he said, with the light decline between 3%-5% in two years and failure rate below 10ppm, and the price and other issues like safety and CRI of LED lighting products will all be more satisfying to consumers. By then, the LED lighting market is expected to see significant growth and the industry will thrive.

As for the development of LED-Backlit LCD TV (LED TV), Alpha Wu, Chairman of Amtran, states that after Samsung, the forerunner of LED TV, launched its first LED TV in the first half of this year, numerous companies joined the production in second half of the year; this may affect the high-margin. Shipments in 2010 are estimated to grow up to 344%, while a 10% drop in gross margin is expected.

In the LED backlight, Witsview Research Manager Eric Chiu, said the penetration of LED-backlit notebooks is estimated to reach 80% in 2010. As for LED monitors, the price is the key, because once the price falls to acceptable level in the market, LED backlit LCD display market will witness a robust growth. In TV products, design optimization and technology upgrading are crucial, since the price of an led high bay light module currently costs 2 to 4 times that of the same sized CCFL module. In order to achieve a higher penetration rate of LED backlighting, margin erosion of LED makers and related component makers is inevitable.

Despite Nichia planned to enter into LED markets in China

This emerging potential for green LED applications follows on the heels of an announcement of applications for blue LEDs on April 25, 2012. NGK is now poised to apply its technology to the inverters used in hybrid and electric vehicles, power amplifiers for base stations of wireless communication, and other power devices. To this end, NGK will take steps to further reduce defect density for its GaN wafers, and to produce larger wafers that are greater than 6 inches in diameter. Despite Nichia planned to enter into LED markets in China and enlarge its market share there, it has been foiled by simmering anti-Japan sentiment in China due mainly to the Diaoyutai island issue, so is considering to cooperate with Taiwanese enterprises for further development. And two Taiwanese companies, including Hon Hai Group and Epistar, will be part of the joint venture. According to senior Nichia executives and based on positive outlook towards widespread use of LED lighting, the firm focused on the amp...
