Price competition is the biggest challenge than who's gas

Industry leading manufacturers always focus of attention every act and every move, has become an important reference index to observe the market. EPISTAR as a leader of the LED epitaxial wafers, chips, is always the focus of the spotlight. Especially with canyuan, two of the company's 2013 annual total revenue reached 26 billion 600 million yuan NT, MOCVD machine 474 units, leading to sit more stable.

Crystal electric and canyuan, is the LED industry in Taiwan after 2004 and set off the whole period, the largest industrial restructuring. The market is also interpreted as a response to market changes, had to make adjustments. The new crystal electric after the merger, revenue or output ranks first in the world before the fourth quarter of this year to 9 months, the market is amazing growth, especially third gerahs goods strength particularly rapidly, so the industry in the fourth quarter to slam on the brakes, causing the market reversal.

Even in the fourth quarter of the market is cooling, crystal electric marketing center associate Linyida said that the current market penetration of LED lighting is still less than 5, the future growth of the space is still large, even if the market with noise, the LED industry outlook is still worth looking forward to.

Next year, the price competition from the mainland industry, the biggest challenge is the Taiwan plant, who is now longer than the gas, small factories have also moved closer to the group operated large manufacturers. In order to support the number of electricity in the middle and lower reaches of the industry, for example, the formation of Pan crystal electric group, to play a long production advantage, to ensure that orders are not.

At present, the market for the first half of next year to conservative blue crystal electric capacity utilization rate is low, the industry boom will not always in a rush, cycle fluctuations are the norm, the outside world should be normal to look at.

In product development and marketing, Linyida said, HV high voltage chip show many advantages in LED lighting design, gradually recognized by the market, including improve the luminous efficiency, effectively solve the problem of heat dissipation. In the past is limited by the surrounding drive and electronic control IC development is not complete, to obstruct the popularization of the market, and now with the new situation into the crystal electric listed next year to promote the focus, will increase marketing efforts.

PEC flip chip and LED is also the main vehicle applications. Crystal electric packaging factory, in the dashboard and interior lighting, tail light assembly and direction lights, etc.. In the infrared IR monitoring applications, EPISTAR also inked in high resolution display, in the mainland market squeeze as first-line suppliers.

EPISTAR is also highly concerned about the application of UV LED, the existing product lines are: wavelength 405nm, applied to Manicure curing, wavelength 365-385nm, applied to photoresist exposure and development, 260-285nm for medical sterilization.
