Optoma has introduced its first micro projector using DLP technology from Texas Instruments (TI), with LEDs as the backlight source. The device is able to project a 20-inch diagonal image from a distance of 50cm. This product is expected to start shipping in October.The company now supplies a wide range of auto lights and accessories, including strobe lights, side lights, stop lights, pole lights, auto horns, decorative flashers and led high bay light, fine-tuning parts, high power LED stop lamps, auto LED lights, frames, highway flashers, auto parts, LED race lamps, LED candlelight lamps and related accessories. Also, the company’s seasoned R&D capability enables it to handle orders on an original equipment manufacturing (OEM) or original design manufacturing (ODM) basis. Devoted to offering considerate customer services and the best product quality, the company has successfully seen its products gain great popularity in countries of North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
It’s reported that the energy saving trend has led Aixtron's sales to record heights in Q4/2007. Now the manufacturer of LED production equipment sees a "digestion phase" during which the semiconductor market will absorb the production capacity built up over the past quarters. The breakthrough of LED in general lighting applications will not come before the years 2012/2013, predicts Aixtron investor relations manager Guido Pickert.Pickert explained that the market currently is driven by advancements in LED backlighting applications. LEDs are replacing Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL) as the light source in laptop computers, desktop monitors and TV sets. Manufacturers such Apple Computer, Sony and Philips recently have introduced products with LED backlights. While in laptop computers LED shine with their low energy consumption, in TV sets they favorably compete with conventional backlight solutions through a much higher contrast ratio of up to 2 million to one.
Pickert called the switch to LED backlighting a "no-brainer", in particular for laptop computer applications. However, the question is how fast the market penetration will rise. In Taiwan, where most of Aixtron's customers are located, the expectations certainly were very high. But this has to be seen a little bit more realistic, he indicated.Against the background of the led flood light semiconductor industry downturn, Pickert's expectations for rapid growth are only moderate. When in Q4/2007 they announced record sales, Pickert already pointed out that the market will need a 'digestion phase'. Now, he said. "Nobody knows how deep the downturn will be and how long it will last.
