Analysis of price trend of 2-inch sapphire substrate in LED industry

2011- The price trend of 2-inch sapphire substrate in 2014 shows that sapphire prices have fallen sharply since 2011, and it is almost difficult for Sapphire prices to return to their previous prices in the next two years. In the 2014 quarter, the price of sapphire rose slightly, driven by the re-application end, but by a small margin.
