2011 Taiwan LED drive IC shipments will increase by 128.4%

According to DIGITIMES Research, the current mainstream display technology in TFTLCD, by itself can not emit light to the backlight module collocation. Carbon has become the key design of terminal products under the global reduction in energy saving, compared with the traditional LED backlight module for cold cathode tube (CCFL) module with a thin, long service life, does not contain heavy metals, energy saving and other advantages, since 2009 to become mainstream notebook computer with backlight, LED backlight module with the decline of the price, in the TV and the monitor field permeability also increased year by year.

LED in addition to price expansion because of the global production capacity and yield decline, the decline in the overall analysis of the LED backlight module includes a reduced cost, is still a backlight number, LED is equipped with a reduced configuration number, and the reduction of LED drive circuit components required for a number of.

For panel unit LED driver IC dosage reduced, LED driver can drive a plurality of IC technology in the LED direction, the current LED notebook computer with the backlight module are only equipped with 1 LED driver IC, LED monitor and TV panel driver IC LED average dosage also respectively from 3 in 2008, 8. A decline to 1 in 2010 to 2 and 4.

Unit equipped with a panel number despite the decline, IT benefit (notebook computer, monitor) and TV with LED backlight panel to enhance penetration, Taiwan factory of large size panel backlight LED driver IC demand, is expected to 14 million 520 thousand since 2008, increased to 270 million in 2011, TV backlight LED IC drive demand reached 140 million, for the IC design industry layout key.

, Taiwan enterprises IC design industry in product technology in succession in place, with excellent supply chain flexibility and low price, the panel factory in Taiwan area shipments growth compared with international IC manufacturers strong, estimated in 2011 to reach 130 million, compared with 57 million 400 thousand in 2010, a substantial increase of 128.4% in the same period, and the international chip supply the growth rate of the 52.2% manufacturers.
