Die CCFL-Hersteller stellen nach und nach auf LED-Produktion um. Es ist sehr bestärkend, solche Nachrichten aus der Industrie zu lesen. Es zeigt, dass man mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit davon ausgehen kann, dass LEDs CCFLs in naher Zukunft abgelöst haben werden für Anwendungen im Bereich Hintergrundsbeleuchtung.
Ich weiss, dass ich schon zum x-ten Mal eine solche Meldung poste. Aber ich finde, es ist immer noch eine Spur besser, solche Entwicklungen in Meldungen aus der realen Wirtschaft bestätigt sehen zu können, als sich auf Prognosen von Marktforschungsinstituten zu verlassen.
LED equipment supplier Single Well receives orders from LCD players
Siu Han, Taipei; Greg Wu, DIGITIMES [Thursday 27 December 2007]
Single Well Industrial, a major LED molding equipment supplier in Taiwan with customers including Everlight Electronics, Lite-On Technology, Unity Opto Technology, Bright LED and Harvatek, has been receiving orders from new customers such as China-based LED packaging companies, backlight unit (BLU) maker Forward Electronics and AUO affiliated company Wellypower Optronics, a CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) maker.
Single Well expects its December orders to reach NT$92.8 million, and the orders from China-based LED packaging makers will account for nearly NT$20 million of the total. However, as delivery and customer checks for the LED equipment requires about 3-6 months, the revenues from its December orders will not be credited to the company until the first half of 2008.
The company should see its revenues increase from about NT$500 million (US$15.3 million) this year to NT$650-700 million in 2008, an increase of 30-40% on year, as confirmed orders for the first half of 2008 already total more than NT$300 million, according to market watchers.
Tatung subsidiary Forward Electronics will focus on LED packaging and is looking to make headway into the high-brightness LED market. The company expects to place LED molding equipment orders for 150 units, with the goal of increasing its current one high-brightness LED production line to 3-4 lines of in the future.
With LEDs expected to steadily replace CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) for use in LCD panel lighting applications, Taiwan-based CCFL specialist Wellypower Optronics is looking to develop LED solutions. Despite its small initial shipment volumes, the company is looking to expand its capacity |
