LED applications continued to rise, which lighting market demand increases, will not only allow the smd high power led to achieve strong growth, the lighting has become a major application. 2010 LED backlight and lighting of the total revenue of U.S. $ 7.2 billion, DisplaySearch predicts that 2011 usage will grow by 20% compared with 2010, 2014 is expected to reach $ 12.7 billion.
LED overall market demand continues to increase, but the demand for LED backlighting gradually reduced, and began to transfer towards smd high power led applications.
DisplaySearch senior analyst Liu Jingmin said. Replacement of halogen, LED spotlight application has a high penetration rate, the same time, the Government is also expected to lift the policy to accelerate the application of led high bay in the street. The second quarter of 2011, LED lighting, the total revenue amounted to $ 3.2 billion is expected in the third quarter will rapidly increase to $ 3.4 billion. The suppliers are aware of this trend and plans to increase capacity, estimated in 2011 the global LED production capacity will reach 80 billion, will reach $ 27 billion in 2013.
LED backlighting in all small and medium-size smd high power led in the portable PC penetration rate of nearly 100%, LCD monitors and LCD TV penetration has continued to improve, but each led package to reduce the number. The total demand for 2011 LED-backlit 45.9 billion. Since 2010, LCD TV LED backlight applications, accounting for 50% of demand, estimated in 2012 reached the highest value.
