of Chinese LED chipmakers |
 IN China, surplus capacity and
sliding prices are sounding the
death knell for half of the companies
making light emitting
diode (LED) chips used in
Samsung television panels and
Sharp computer monitors,
with only the large, statebacked
players likely to pull
through.
Sluggish global sales of TVs
and computers may further cut
LED chip prices by 20 percent
this year, and consolidation or
closure are the only options for
China´s smaller LED players,
analysts say.
By contrast, Sanan
Optoelectronics, China´s top
LED chipmaker with a market
value of $2.8 billion, and Elec-
Tech International will be
among a handful of large companies
that will survive. | |
