ETNEWS according to south Korean media reported yesterday, in addition to Taiwan factory crystal electricity already adjust the price of the LED chip, including the three in Chinese mainland photoelectric, HuaCan photoelectric also raise the price of the LED, south Korean media and part of the media that the move has been falling in recent years have LED chip prices are signs of a rebound. However, according to the actual LEDinside understanding in the trading market, south Korean media reported the three Ann photoelectric executives speaking, not interview content, adjust the price also is not large.

LEDinside ask three security companies obtain the message is that they are not massive raise prices. But some Chinese items of part of the LED chip chip makers have small amplitude increase, mainly because some secondary packaging manufacturers in order to ensure the supply of goods, so go to the market to take goods with higher price.
Three Ann photoelectric last year to this year, however, operating by the government subsidies to help the company have a positive, three content production strategy, there are quite a movement, just at the beginning of 2016 to 28 Taiwan back into the new type of MOCVD, with 2 inch wafer processing equipment collocation 54 chips to conversion, Jordan for 56 capacity of the old model, there are 12 sets already in March 2016, is to improve grain rate and production capacity.
Days of European and American markets improve make proprietary LED chip producers can ensure price more
Now can see that the main category of raise prices are some of the high power LED chips, the specifications of the technical threshold is higher, so the market supply is relatively small. In addition, because the Japanese LED the chemical in North America and Europe, a series of action against the downstream customers, makers of LED chips with IP patent protection, also has a high voice to improve the LED chip.
LEDinside, points out that from the demand side, in 2016 after five - June, the LED backlight because the customer new product import rate than market expectations, so the backlight needs clearly weakening. Estimated until after July and August to meet another wave of growth momentum. And LED lighting market demand in June began to turn pale, but from the LED manufacturer with philips lighting brand companies, the annual negotiation, because of various LED manufacturers already heavy losses, so even if philips has a huge procurement quantity, but the overall price drops are compared at the end of a lot of slowing down. Overall, the market price of the LED compared to last year has leveled off.
The LED assembly house thinks the market is still oversupply, would like to see the LED chip prices
In 2016 guangzhou lighting fair this year (exhibition) light, LED light packaging companies also provide views on crystal electricity price increases, light Liu Bangyan production enterprise group general manager, said: "if this is the case, to see whether the mainland over here is the follow up or maintain the status quo, because we have seen this year China LED chip price here is very little, so it doesn't fall down. If you can price increases we are most willing to, the problem is that it is to keep the audience's attitude, depends on the condition of the whole demand. Because now still exceeds the demand, that if the status of supply and demand have changed, I think that point in time there will be a change."
