Panel maker AU Optronics plans to enter the upstream LED chip manufacturing, optimistic about the TV backlight applications in the industry trend, has, through its subsidiaries, including Chi Mei Optoelectronics Kellett led the layout of the package and chip manufacturing, we can clearly see the LED in the application of increasingly wide range of trends, has attracted a number of electronics companies in Taiwan admitted layout.
planes have entered the LED face panel industry,
trade show displays, the chip maker is expected to challenge the leading position of power crystal.
Current LED chip factory in the upper reaches to the maximum grain production of electricity, a total of 150 MOCVD machine, Chi Mei and AU Optronics LED initial trial production is only a chip, but with the LED backlight applications Yu Lai more expanded, once the two major panel makers overweight, will impact the crystal power, the new century,
restaurant signage, Formosa Epitaxy, Hua upper upstream chip factories.
However, the agency believes that the upstream AUO LED chips into the main focus on the future application of panel LED backlighting gradually from small and medium size, NB extended to the LCD Monitor and LCD TV.
LED chip production but because it is a normal distribution of wavelengths, the end application is not limited to panel backlight, and therefore, AUO is expected to buy 100 MOCVD machine, such a large scale production capacity, in addition to their own use, the non-panel Mainstream LED chip is bound to find the wavelength of the take-away customers, in addition to LED chip patent issues is also to overcome the problem of short-term view of this message is still neutral.
The industry believe that LED patent network clouds, the short-term impact on the LED chip factory limited.
LED factory, said, LED chip, the chips will fall out of different wavelengths, and can be applied to high-level backlight LED chip is only about three Daosi Cheng, LED chip factory will sell the other part is not high, if AUO panel backlight just to enter the upstream chip, produced by the chip cost will be higher than other chip factory, the future relative to other chips of Friends of the competitiveness of plants remains to be seen.
And optoelectronic chips, chairman of the new century, benevolent Chung said the new century, small, and easy to strain, even in terms of the new century will also indirectly benefit the sales of the new century, mainly optical chips, have been In addition,
restaurant board, a panel maker to invest in plant proposed by the LED chip supplier in the new century, and as long as the chip manufacturing process itself, so the chip to save than their own 30% of the cost of which is currently in certification.
