LED packing business is estimated to grow further

According to Unity executives, as LED backlight is gradually replacing CCFLs, the LED TV penetration rate is expected to surge to 65~70% this year from 40% of last year. It is estimated that the LED TVs will amount for 80% of total TV shipments by the end of 2012, sharply up from 50% seen in the beginning of this year.

In addition, aside from South Korean TV manufacturers, Taiwanese and Chinese TV manufacturers also moved to launch new products in Q2 of 2012, and will launch direct-type TV products with energy saving functions sometime in Q3. As a result, Unity executives thought that as China’s price subsidy policy is expected to boost the LED TV sales there, the company’s LED packing business is estimated to grow further.

 Chantal Arena, vice president and general manager of Soitec Phoenix Labs, where the HVPE technology was developed, said, "Our strategy was to use production-proven silicon epitaxy equipment features and add our innovative gallium source and delivery system to create a high productivity HVPE equipment. We then successfully developed high growth rate processes that combined with our low cost precursor leads to a more cost effective GaN template than the ones produced by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE)."

"Silian is excited to work with Soitec and adopt its HVPE technology," said David Reid, COO of Silian. "With our extensive sapphire substrate manufacturing expansion activities in China, we are very well positioned to take advantage of this opportunity and offer these high quality templates in a cost effective manner to our sapphire substrate customers."

Only imaginations brought the ceremony

In 1923, families gathered around the radio to listen as President Calvin Coolidge lit the first National Christmas Tree. Only imaginations brought the ceremony, and the tree located in what is now President’s led linear high bay light , to life.

At 4:30 p.m. ET on Dec. 1, GE Lighting, in conjunction with the National Park Foundation, an official charitable partner of America’s national parks and the National Park Service, invites families to gather around the laptop to watch as the National Christmas Tree come to life. GE Lighting has been designing the National Christmas Tree, and contributing its lighting and decorations for 49 years.  The design process usually begins only a few months after the previous year’s lighting on the National Christmas Tree is shut off, often starting in March or earlier.

In order to take maximum advantage of opportunities

Recently, China government promoted LED solid state lighting and listed Beijing as a level-one city for demonstration. Meanwhile, BOE's 8G plant scheduled to start mass production in 2011, LED backlight unit (BLU) demand from BOE was expected to surge. Additionally, Everlight was listed as one of BOE's backlighting suppliers. In order to take maximum advantage of opportunities, Everlight decided to set up a production plant in Beijing. Market sources noted, Currently all LED Linear high bay light notebook products were LED backlit. BOE's overall LED demand from its 5G and 6G plants was expected to exceed one billion chips in 2011, and to over seven billion chips when BOE's advanced production lines came online in the future. If BOE's 8G line fully adopted LED backlighting, BOE would need the support of about 20 LED production lines, or five billion LED chips per year, and generate CNY10 billion (US$1.5 billion) worth of industry value. The vertically-integrate...
