In the global market, LEDinside Research Director Roger Chu indicated that notebooks and LED TVs stimulate LED market growth this year. However, due to the economic downturn, sales of cell phones and LED TV offset the LED sales growth.
In the future prospect, it is estimated that LED market will grow significantly from 2010 to 2013, and the upstream chip makers’ CAPEX will also increase substantially. Tight supply of led high bay light chips is expected to ease in the third quarter 2010. From the LED makers’ perspectives, after Korean LED makers’ in-house production capacity ramp up, market giants’ territories will continue to expand; hence, vendors without patents, cost-competitiveness or technological edge will face a considerable challenge. Moreover, as more and more companies invest in the field, product quality is the biggest concern; therefore, the establishment of lighting standards will lead to a re-organization in the industry.
On the second day of the LEDforum 2009, Huang Kouhsin, president of High Power Opto LTD (HPO), with his years of experience in LED industry since the establishment of United Epitaxy Company, shared his depth of insight with the attendees.
He points out that LED, which is made of compound semiconductor, has kept developing for the past years with the advancing of epitaxy and MOCVD technologies, and the improvement in luminous efficacy is the most important breakthrough among others, with the technology already evolving from Bragg Reflector, Metal Reflector, Transparent Subtract to photonic crystal.
