declare bankruptcy under a new government resolution to reduce subsidies

Analysts point out oversupply and the economic downturn has depressed prices to below production levels, meaning large numbers of small companies have already closed their businesses. It’s no choice but to integrate or declare bankruptcy under a new government resolution to reduce subsidies.

Over the past three years, the Chinese government has been instrumental in providing support to Chinese LED chip companies in the form of tax breaks and free land use. It has also provided $1.6 billion of funds to companies to purchase the MOCVD. Due to government support, global share of the market for packaged LED components rose from 2 per cent in 2010 to 6 per cent in 2011.

But the boom years are coming to an end, with many of China’s LED chipmakers operating their factories at 50 per cent capacity. Around half of the 700 or so factories that received government help have been left idle.

Now the Chinese government is said to want to reduce the expenditure given to smaller companies focussing instead on larger ones like Elec-Tech International Co Ltd and Sanan Optoelectronics Co Ltd, China’s top LED chipmaker with a market value of $2.8 billion.

while all of hit new record quarterly highs

As a result, to increase greenhouse yields and decrease producers' energy costs, they will team up with Rutgers University, the University of Arizona, Michigan State University, and Orbital Technologies Corp. on the four-year project to improve and evaluate LED lighting for greenhouse use, according to Cary Mitchell, a professor of horticulture and project director for the grant. Total sales from January through September of 2010 hit NT$92.88 billion, up 35% YoY. Meanwhile, operating profit and net profit reached NT$5.67 billion and NT$6.8 billion respectively, with accumulated EPS of NT$3.05 increasing a remarkable 50% YoY. In 3Q10, The Company’s gross margin and operating margin reached 13.9% and 6.7%, up 0.9% and 0.4% QoQ, respectively.

Universal Display will develop new technologies and processes for OLED manufacturing

In addition to the patent sale, the 2 companies are engaged in “a strategic relationship,” with strengthened and enhanced alliances between the companies. Fujifilm will expand its business for the supply of Fujifilm's highly functional materials, such as barrier films, conductive films and flexible substrates, to OLED manufacturers globally, including Universal Display's worldwide customer base. Universal Display will develop new technologies and processes for OLED manufacturing. John R. Peeler, Veeco’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Veeco continues to deliver solid results in a soft market. Second quarter revenue was $137 million, and adjusted EBITA and non-GAAP earnings per share were $20 million and $0.37, respectively, with gross margins of 45%. Veeco generated about $19 million in cash flow from operations, ending the quarter with $540 million in cash and short term investments.” Second quarter LED & Solar revenues were $87 million, including $75 mil...

the adoption of energy-efficient LED lighting across their campuses

Nuventix SynJet coolers are available now and already providing silent operation, long life, and optimal cooling to allow designs to incorporate the increased brightness necessary for large-scale commercial and consumer product acceptance. Bias SynPower modules are available in sample quantities. The workshops were key first steps in the launch of a new DOE SSL research and development (R&D) manufacturing initiative to enhance product consistency and quality and to accelerate cost reductions through manufacturing improvements. More than 350 total participants—chip makers, fixture and component manufacturers, and others—joined DOE at the workshops to examine underlying issues related to materials, equipment, and other factors that influence SSL product quality and cost. The Fairfax workshop attendees identified key barriers and recommendations toward lower-cost, higher-quality SSL products, and this input was used to develop a “strawman” roadmap for review at the Vancouver worksho...
