Jiangmen invests on semiconductor LED lighting industrial base

Posted : May 22, 2008

　　China (mainland) – Jiangmen City is setting up a semiconductor LED lighting industry base in support of government’s plans to convert to high-efficiency green lighting systems. With the help of the local government, the city’s LED makers will expand their production capacities and introduce new materials and technologies to satisfy increasing domestic requirement for LED lighting systems. The National Semiconductor Lighting Project is expected to boost the local LED market value from about $335.4 million in 2007 to more than $8.6 billion by 2022.
　　The base will cover four areas: the Jiangmen Hi-technology Area Semiconductor Green Lighting Industrial Park, the Hetang Lamps Industrial Park, the Heshan Gonghe Industrial Area and the Taishan Industrial Park. Jiangmen has about 100 makers offering the LED product chain, which includes LED chips, LED lights, fluorescent powder and final application products.
To be able to fully support the nationwide campaign, Jiangmen’s LED makers must first achieve a zero-break on the epitaxy slice, expand encapsulation and semiconductor green lighting production, and create an $857 million industry by 2012. Next, they must enlarge the epitaxy slice to help semiconductor green lighting to grow into a $2.6 billion industry by 2017. Lastly, the industry, which should be worth $8.6 billion by 2022, will consequently gain technological expertise in lighting, sight lighting and control circuits.
　　Based there for more than 18 years, Jiangmen Xinqiao Optoelectroic Equipment Fty is investing $4.3 million in a new facility within the area. The proposed complex will have new automatic soldering and chip-bonding equipment from ASM. Xinqiao Optoelectroic has also ventured into SMD LED production. Its current R&D priority is high-power and high-bright LEDs with high luminance, low decay and high efficiency. Xinqiao imports chips from Taiwan and Japan, and exports 50 percent of its products to Europe and Southeast Asia.
　　 Another company planning to invest on a new $1.5 million production facility is Jiangmen Huiyuan Opto-Electronic Co. Ltd. Established in 1999, it manufactures SMD LEDs, high-power LEDs, LED lamps, LED modules, LED flashlights and LED displays. It realized $5 million in sales revenue in 2007 and plans to invest on a new plant and production equipment. Huiyuan Opto-Electronic sources its raw materials from suppliers in the cities of Shenzhen and Zhongshan. LED chips are ordered from Taiwan upon buyers’ request. It ships 80 percent of its products to overseas markets such as Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia and Africa.

LCD industry needs $60 billion in new investments between 2008 and 2011

Posted : June 19, 2007

　　South Korea – To keep up with the rising demand for LCD panels in monitors and TVs, the industry needs additional investments on new production lines worth $60 billion between 2008 and 2011. This is according to Kenny Kim, Display Bank's vice president, at a conference held in New York for banks and investors in the United States.
The demand for LCD panels increases by 14.2 percent every year, according to Kim. At this rate, it will balloon from 340 million units in 2007 to 520 million units in 2011. In terms of dimensions, the expected average rate is 24.6 percent per year, or from 45.4 million sqm in 2007 to 94.4 million sqm in 2011.
　　Even as TFT-LCD makers invested a total of $92.6 billion in the past 10 years and are pouring in approximately $11.9 billion in additional investments in 2007, it will be difficult to maintain the balance between supply and demand beyond 2008. This notwithstanding Sharp's 8th generation line that can extend its capacity by 70,000 sets per month at the end of 2008. The forecast scenario also takes into consideration the planned completion of projects of other major LCD panel players such as Samsung's 7th and 8th generation lines, LG.Philips LCD's 7.5th, AUO's 7.5th and CMO's 6th and 7th generation lines.
　　Buoyed by this development, Samsung Electronics, Sharp and other makers have signified interest in investing in the next-generation line, which is expected to be 10th generation. LG.Philips LCD, AUO and CMO are planning to make a constructive examination of the new line after 2008. Other companies, including Photoelectric Beijing Case of BOE Technology Ltd (BOEOT) of mainland China and SVA-NEC, are forecast to invest in LCD lines beyond the 6th generation before and after 2008.
