LED lighting: industry development remains steady

According to the new demand outlook and capacity expansion of LED chip manufacturers, high brightness (HB) The supply and demand model continues to show 2014 tight supply. Is expected to 2014 for/to adequacy ratio will for 3 still in nervous level. Recent industry surveys also show that the capacity utilization rate of major LED chip manufacturers is at a high level in the second quarter of 14 years, and considering the current demand prospects, the rest of this year will continue to be high. Is expected to MOCVD order also don't strong it is expected that the new LED capacity of actual volume will will in 14 the end of on 2014 Year of influence will be limited. Supply tension will likely be normal for the rest of 2014. Observation: general lighting is still the main driving force of demand. Recent comments by lighting enterprises all point to strong demand for LED lighting. Osram said recently that its LEDClassics shipments may increase 160 year-on-year in the first quarter of 14 years. Most lighting companies say that LED is expected to account for 30-of their lighting product revenue-35. In addition, it is expected that through vigorous promotion or subsidy (For example, the US Energy Star (EnergyStar)Plan) There will be more lower-priced LED bulbs on the market. Observation: intelligent lighting is an important theme in the Taipei lighting exhibition in 2014. During the Taipei lighting exhibition in 2014, many manufacturers showed intelligent lighting systems, which took advantage of the important characteristics of LED lighting, such as adjustable brightness and color. The next stage of the rise of LED lighting will probably come from the improvement of lighting control system in commercial or civil fields. New technologies, such as flip-chip (FC)And a package-free chip (PFC) , Will further improve the current brightness effect, and may further reduce the cost of bulbs to stimulate the emergence of more demand.
