Crystal technology sapphire single crystal round of profit in short supply

Worship sapphire single crystal wafer market demand, the average price increases continuously quarterly fortune, Tera XTAL technology before August of this year's profit per share up to 4.59 yuan, most of the record, to the end of this year, the company's production capacity will continue to amplify, forecast monthly production capacity from the current 240 thousand, up to 300 thousand pieces. An increase of 25%.

Zhao Jing in the production of 2 inch led sapphire single crystal wafer, which belongs to the LED industry in the middle, Zhao Jing said, LED used in the past to mobile phone accounted for the bulk of about 45%, followed by the vehicle display, etc., but since 2008 after the financial tsunami, LED is the most potential application in consumer electronics and lighting of the two people's livelihood block market.

In South Korea's Samsung Electronics dedicated LED backlight LCD TV, currently known data show that in 2010 the global LED backlight LCD TV penetration has been revised to 35% above; notebook computer display backlight, more than 90%, has significantly exceeded the numerical prediction. Since the second half of 2009, the high brightness blue grain constantly makes a substantial stock news, South Korea's Samsung Electronics (Samsung), Le Jin (LG), Seoul semiconductor (SSC) and other large enterprises to invest heavily, have established the highly integrated LED production line, an attempt to stable material sources. Taiwan, China and Japan's LED manufacturers, but also buy equipment and raw materials related to the formation of the industry's investment boom.

Zhao Jing pointed out that, according to internal statistics, since the second half of 2009, LED epitaxial plant are significantly expand production capacity by the end of 2009, when global demand per month (2 inches approximately equivalent) in 1 million, which is close to that of the global total production capacity of sapphire crystal growth. 2010 to accelerate the pace of expansion of the production plant is expected at the end of the year when the equivalent of about 2 inches of the equivalent of about $1 million 800 thousand, by the end of 2011 up to more than 2 million 500 thousand, in 2012 will exceed 3 million. Just 3 years, the demand will increase by 3 times. This amazing growth rate, even if the wafer processing capacity to cope, growth will not because of capacity expansion and a serious gap, and even the price. Zhao Jing pointed out that the current market can produce sapphire single crystal wafer, failed to meet the demand caused by quarter price hike, the company is also actively expanding new capacity, and to the point of view of orders, the boom can be prosperous until the end of the year.
