LED TV will be main Stream of TV?

The Q109 World TV shipment drop 6% comparing with last quarter Q308.
Revenue of Q109 World TV slashes 12%
LCD TV shipment comparing with last quarter rose 27% But the sales Revenues of LCD TV slash for the first time.

The major reason behind is the World Economy Tsunami causes the supplier to reduce the ASP in order to stimulant the consumers

Electronic Times analyses amongst all sizes of TV, 32” is the most popular model partly due the consumer spending limitation and the price drop is most significant for this size 32” TV drop 38% in price whereas 40/42 “only drops trivial 0.5%! Comparing with last Quarter.

Samsung has been sales No. 1 for Consecutive 13 Quarters. With amazing market share 22% and LGI is the 2nd runner up of market share of 13% which had surpassed Sony by 2%.

Sony, then Sharp and Panasonic will be the 3rd, 4th and 5th position.

From DisplayResearch, World shipment of Q1 was 4,330 Million sets.
Drop 25% as Q4 08.
Drop 6% as comparing with Q108. Total revenues are USD22.1B! Slash 12%.

LCD TV shipment 2,670 M sets that is 61.6% of the total TV sets produced.
This is the only one growth.

Another sign is that LED TV is becoming a real production unit, TV and papers ads can be found earlier for LED TV... it is no longer a prototype but is more or less a product hit!

It has various advantages such as power saving of 40%, Local dimming possible and huge contrast 200,000:1 can be made, topped with 200 Hz scanning method. Thanks fro the LCD and LED technology… A vivid movie can be seen at Home now.

Summary
LED TV is around HKD5,000 more expensive than CCFL or HCFL backlight LED TV with the same size 42”, later on Samsung may be able to bring down the price gap to less than 2,000 dollar with their production ramp up using our machine. (1 dollar one LED with a smaller difference such that by Quality/price ratio as a sales gadget) Samsung can eat up more market share eventually!

Will The LED backlight TV will be major trend, all we can see is LED has unique feature in the quality of the display, and is supported by EU and advance countries for no toxic material in it. The matter is Cost!

If someone who can drive it down to the cost of a normal CCFL TV with paying extra 10-20%, I think that it will be a success. And the demand will be huge for LED at that time. As So far only less than 1% TV is of LED backlight. The Market is Huge!

LED for Exhaust Pipe

This is Pyle LED for Car Exhaust Pipe. I believe that it can convert the heating energy to Electricity for lighting up the LEDs.

Seoul Semi Low Profile SMD LED

Seoul Semiconductor (CEO: Lee Chung Hoon, www.acriche.com), a world-leading LED manufacturer, announced on May 12 the launch of its 120lm/W high-efficiency and SMD type LED (Part No: LCW100Z1) for general purpose lighting.

The new patented product shows remarkable superiority in price as it raises brightness of the same chip by over two times by flowing more than double the current. As an ultra-thin LED with dimensions of 3.5mm x 2.8mm x 1.6mm, the LCW100Z1 is a high efficiency product that delivers up to 7.8lm (@0.06W) at the low current of 20mA and 14.3lm at the current of 40mA, and its viewing angle is 120 degrees.

Another strength of the LCW100Z1 is that its reliability is improved by adopting an optimized thermal design to maximize luminous efficiency needed for lighting. The new LCW100Z1 product comes in three ranges of correlated color temperature’s (CCT); including pure white, warm white and natural white. Samples of the LCW100Z1 were already received favorably by leading lighting appliance manufacturers around the world.

As it can immediately replace the existing Top View LED, the LCW100Z1 is expected to be widely adopted for tube-type fluorescent lamps and surface light source lamps. While the expansion of power LED market is retarded due to high price, the LCW100Z1 is also anticipated to serve as a catalyst for expanding the LED lighting market as it allows lighting manufacturers to produce a variety of applied lighting devices.

We believe that more and more similar package size 3mm x3mm range is going to launch into this illumination market. The price will make some difference for people to get an earlier train on Green Illumination. Not a question at all they are using the best LED bonder in the industry for the World Class manufacturing of such kind of LED.

World Largest LED Display

The largest LED screen in the world was installed in Xicui entertainment complex in Beijing, close to where the 2008 Olympics are to take place.

This display is comprised of “2,292 color (RGB) LED light points comparable to a 24,000 sq. ft. (2.200 m2) monitor screen for dynamic content display”.

Created by the GreenPix project, this display uses the sun’s energy only. It collects power during the day to be used during the nightly showing, which are of different artists’ performances and videos.

Visitors to the Olympics in Beijing this summer will also be able to glimpse the world's largest color LED display combined with China's first photovoltaic system to be integrated into a glass curtain wall.

The GreenPix Zero Energy Media Wall, designed by New York-based architect Simone Giostra with solar technology by China's solar powerhouse Suntech, will form the curtain wall of the Xicui Entertainment Complex in Beijing, harvesting solar energy by day and using it to illuminate the screen after dark, mirroring a day’s climatic cycle.

Unlike the typical high resolution screens that increasingly plaster Beijing's facades with ads, starchy local news programs and corny animations, this screen will keep the resolution low -- catering to arty abstract visuals -- while keeping the carbon footprint low too.

When it opens to the public in June, the facade will play host to a specially commissioned program of video installations and live performances by artists including Xu Wenkai, Michael Bell Smith, Takeshi Murata, Shih Chieh Huang, Feng Mengbo and Varvara Shavrova.

Osram New 1W Oslon LED

This is the new ultra-white Oslon SSL. LED from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. Its package measures just 3 x 3 mm, 1 Watt class, a typical value of 100 lm/W. A beam angle of 80°. Its low thermal resistance of 7K/W. In addition to ultra-white (5700 to 6500 K), the LED will be available this summer in neutral white and warm white. Its color temperature will range from 2700 to 4500 K.

The Oslon SSL is manufactured using the latest chip technology, ensuring a high luminous efficacy. At an operating current of 350 mA this light source achieve a typical brightness of 110 lm in ultra-white (5700 and 6500 K), with a maximum possible luminous flux of 130 lm at present.

At an operating current of 350 mA and a color temperature of 3000 K it achieves a typical efficiency of 75 lm/W and a brightness of 85 lm. And brightness is an impressive 155 lm at an operating current of 700 mA (warm white). The advantage here is that applications that demand high lighting levels can be completed with fewer Leds.

An Extract from Osram Web site 6 May 2009

Personal comment.
I think it is small, the standard Form factor as XRE, XP, advanced Simplified LED packaging process is used. With Osram world class manufacturing capability, I think likely will be a good price performer! Good news for there will be one good selection for general illumination and a green light source for Tomorrow.
