Lighting and projector applications for the 2011 LED new focus

By LCD TV LCD TV supply chain inventory adjustment effect, domestic LED epitaxial grain manufacturers in the fourth quarter of 2010 performance decline. In 2011, the market is expected, as more and more manufacturers to launch a tablet computer, and LED backlight LCD TV retail prices gradually decline, will enable LED backlit LCD TV LED backlight penetration accelerated rise, demand will remain growth. In addition, the research firm LEDinside pointed out that lighting and projector applications are also expected to become a new focus in the field of LED applications.

Lighting, the main countries are accelerating the expansion of the forbidden to eliminate and disable the traditional incandescent lamp. Not only the European Union countries have banned the sale of 100 watt incandescent lamps in 2009, and will be banned from all traditional incandescent lamps since 2012. The United States will also be phased out incandescent 2012-2014, switch to energy-saving lamps. Australia, Japan has been disabled in 2010 to promote the traditional incandescent and energy-saving bulbs instead of policy, is expected to 2012 will stop selling the traditional incandescent lamp. LED energy saving lighting project in mainland China is also gradually implemented.

Projector light source applications, due to the LED light source has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, life and other advantages, in recent years, more and more manufacturers have introduced, or planning to LED light source technology into the projector. Although the initial period is limited by the LED brightness, only the smaller size of the projector to use LED light source. But with the progress of LED technology, brightness enhancement, is expected in the second half of 2011 there will be more portable projectors will be imported LED light source for LED applications to expand new markets.

As for the backlight application, LEDinside said, although the second half of 2010 by TV brand factory inventory adjustment effect, and in the fourth quarter and year-end inventory, the depreciation of the dollar and other factors, resulting in domestic LED manufacturers fourth quarter revenues of more than last quarter decline of 20%-30%. However, because the manufacturers will launch in 2011 a large number of tablet computers, coupled with the current LED LCD TV retail price and the third quarter of 2009, compared to just launched has been greatly reduced by half, this will contribute to the 2011 LED TV penetration continues to rise.
