Amid soaring demand fromtelevisions, mobile computers and desktop monitors, LEDs used for backlights in large-sized LCDs are suffering a tight supply situation thatwill last until the end of 2010, according to iSuppli. Shipments of large-sized LCD panels
...we’ll keep you on track.
with LED backlights are forecast to reach 276.7million units in 2010, up a dramatic 134.9 per cent from2009, with LED backlights nowused in 43.1 percent of all large-sized LCD panels. In addition to the applications above, LED backlights are also seeing increasing use in electronic signage, industrial andmedicalmarkets. Use of LED backlighting is soaring
due to its advantages compared to cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) technology, including slimmer design, reduced weight, lower power consumption andmercury- free attributes. The rapid rise in shipments has

spurred supply constraints for LED backlights. Senior director for LCD research at iSuppli, Sweta Dash, explained: “Changes in light guide design, constraints in rawmaterials and high expansion costs are limiting capacity. As a result, tight supply of LED chips is expected until the end of the year. By the end of 2010, however, the supply situationwill improve as capacity rises and newbacklight designs emerge requiring fewer LEDs per panel.”
