Home lighting pie manufacturers coveted

Optimistic about the future development of LED lighting market, UMC, Hon Hai Group both from the upstream sapphire crystal across the downstream lighting applications, overlooking the complete layout of the LED industry chain; AUO Group's Ronda is not too much to allow the development of LED epitaxy to downstream packaging The company has also recently developed LED lighting products such as T8 lamps, and hopes to take the lead in deploying the booming Japanese market this year with government subsidy policies.

In addition to UMC, Hon Hai, and Lunda's development in a single whip model, China’s largest lighting company, Zhen Ming Li, has also developed two upstream epitaxial and downstream pathways. In addition to expanding the number of MOCVD machines next year, the company has not hesitated recently. Heavy gold is expected to expand its own stores in Taiwan and China's first-tier cities in the near future and promote LED lighting.

However, Taiwan LED downstream factories without large group backgrounds have already prepared LED lighting related applications. For example, Dongbei, Hongqi, Yiguang, Huaxing, and Lizhou have all developed a series of lighting applications, but in order not to compete with the lighting customers for the market. Most of the early packaging factories operated as projects.

In fact, from the observation of the Taiwan market, many businesses have noticed the importance of energy saving and energy saving. They have switched from interior lighting to signage to LED lighting. However, the huge market for household lighting is the target of manufacturers. For bulb lamps, the current LED lights are still significantly higher than incandescent bulbs, and the average terminal retail price of 6-Watt LED lights is still US$19.99 (approximately NT$640).

After governments in various countries have banned incandescent light bulbs, the target of international lighting manufacturers will significantly increase LED brightness in 2012 and replace 60-watt incandescent light bulbs. The price will also be cut by half from this year to US$9.99 (approximately NT$320). Estimated price drop will drive the market to take off significantly.

However, according to LED industry experts, the focus of LED brightness enhancement and price reduction is not on the LED manufacturers in Taiwan, but on the patents of international companies. If international companies do not trace their patent rights, they will help LED in the world. Lighting application market penetration.
