14 DAY TRIAL // LCD TVs have been experiencing growing demand, and so have tablets and various other devices that employ liquid crystal displays.
That means that LED backlighting demand will keep soaring, just like it grew over the past year, maybe faster.
According to a recent report on the matter, Taiwan-based LED makers expect the booming demand to persist until November.
After that, orders will back down a bit because of the slowdown that always happens during the first quarter of every year.
During this month (May) and June, BLU manufacturing capacities may very well be occupied to the maximum.
UHD TVs (TVs with 4K 3840 x 2160 pixels resolution) will help, since they use 20-30% more LED chips than Full HD TV panels of the same size, according to BLU (backlight unit) manufacturer Lextar Electronics.
