Taiwan Still Ranks Top In LED Investment
20/08/2010
With more and more fresh funds involved in, Taiwan still ranks at the top position in the coming years. According to SEMI, the total investment in the Taiwanese LED industry will be around US$600 million by the end of this year, which is the highest globally.
Some well known electronic companies are stepping into the LED industry, According to Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI), the total investment in the Taiwanese LED industry will top US$600 million in 2010, the largest amount in the world. TSMC, Au Optronics and Chimei Innolux are positively on the way. Accordingly, TSMC is finishing its first engineering work for the LED R&D and manufacturing. The mass production will be possible by Q1 of 2011, TSMC is scheduled to complete the NT$5.5 billion first-phase engineering work for its LED R&D and manufacturing center by year-end and to begin mass production in Q1 of 2011 with technology licensed from Phillipp's. As quoted, TSMC will release their self-own brand LED lighting sources and engines vertically integrated lines covering epitaxy, packaging and module making.
As China authorities is launching the Street lighting upgrading project in major cities with LED illumination, some companies are investing jointly with China mainland partners. Moreover, some Chinese municipal governments are actively encouraging the development of the LED industry by subsidizing the MOCVD equipment needed for LED factories or directly investing in joint-venture LED producers.
On Oct. 4, Epistar`s board of directors decided to invest US$70 million in an LED joint venture with the China Electronics Corp. (CEC) in Xiamen to produce epitaxy, dies, LED Lighting modules, and other LED products to fill the needs of flat panel display (FPD) factories, monitor producers, TV factories, and lighting plants. This is Epistar`s third LED joint venture in China,others are in Shandong and Jiangsu Province.
However, the lack of own brands is the major problem all the Taiwanese LED industry has to settle, according to SEMI.Therefore, Taiwan may lose its second-place (after Japan) global ranking in terms of value to South Korea in 2010. But it will still retain its top ranking in terms of output volume.
