Chairman of Taiwan Power Opto, SMD LED and LED lighting experts, Sam Ling said that with the Chinese government began to promote the support of local enterprises, Taiwan's LED packaging companies will begin to face more competition from the mainland. Ling worry about in five years, the mainland's LED design and manufacturing capabilities will surpass Taiwan.
The Chinese government is actively supporting the local LED industry, and last year in Dalian, Shanghai, Xiamen, Nanchang, and the establishment of four countries to design, packaging and manufacturing base. The fifth, a base in Shenzhen, will be April 16 this year, put into use.
Ling noted that, in these bases, the inter-firm cooperation and technology sharing is encouraged, which will raise the level of benefit the industry as a whole. He also took Taiwan's LED industry to do comparison: Taiwan's enterprises are doing development alone, but also without government support - it is a system that will hinder development of the industry.
For example, although the LED packaging company invested a lot of effort into mobile phone use inside the high-lumen white LED technology, but because the packaging materials and heat problems, they increase productivity in this issue, there are still difficulties.
In addition, Taiwan's LED makers are facing pressure on prices. According to Topology Research survey shows that since the third quarter of last year, since the blue LED chips, high lumen LED white blue LED chip and the price has been dropped.
Production increases because the mainland, Taiwan's LED manufacturers in 2005 is likely to face low growth. Mainland China LED shipments grew 20% last year to reach 24 billion units, but this year there will be another 25% growth, will reach 300 million units
