LED display will face supply shortages

Market research agency iSuppli said that in 2010, the global light emitting diode (LED) supply will face a shortage situation, if LED capacity does not increase, so, in 2010 the market will be much needed facing the serious shortage of end equipment.

2009, LED's total sales reached 63 billion, compared with the number of the year in 2008 has increased 57 billion.

Panel manufacturers have been investing heavily in LED chip manufacturers, or develop their own internal technology, to take advantage of LED backlight LCD TV may have: differentiation, innovation, low power consumption, of course, may also obtain the higher income.

For brand manufacturers, LED backlight is clearly a huge opportunity. LED also helps to make the manufacturer's products different from other products on the shelf. This is particularly important as the LCD TV market begins to saturate, and the ongoing replacement cycle in the United States and elsewhere is nearing completion.

And accept consumer demand

In addition to differentiation and environmental considerations, perhaps the biggest driving force of LED backlight LCD TV from consumers. LED backlight LCD TV to attract consumers include:

Slim shape.

Improved image quality, including better color saturation

Power saving and other green attributes

Light challenge

Although the benefits of LED backlight LCD TV is obvious, but the challenges are also very prominent. LED backlight cost is still too high, hindering the majority of consumers to accept. LED TV is now much higher than the standard price of CCFL LCD tv. Other challenges include:

Parts supply

Decentralized supply chain

LED short life

Thermal problems

Compared with the traditional CCFL, continuous improvement to adapt to the green trend

However, LED has a magic weapon: more and more stringent government policy is forcing TV manufacturers to use environmentally friendly backlight technology to reduce power consumption. Especially in large size TV, power consumption is a serious problem.

LED display is fully consistent with this trend, in 2010 and beyond, its shipments will continue to grow in all regions and all market segments.
