The Worldwide Market for Driver ICs for LEDs

SUMMARY

Description

The LED market has grown strongly over the last few years. The production of high brightness blue and white LEDs supports new applications with considerable market potential, such as electronic signs and signals, automotive lighting, backlighting and camera flash in mobile phones and other handheld appliances. OLEDs are also a growing market with applications in mobile phone sub-displays, MP3 players and automotive audio.

This new report from IMS Research provides a quantitative assessment of the market for the driver ICs for LEDs and OLED displays. The report presents and analyses market revenue and unit shipment forecasts from 2005 to 2012 split by 5 user sectors for LED-driver ICs and OLED-display driver ICs. The main tables are also provided as product type forecasts split by user sector. In addition, specific forecasts and analysis of the market for white LED-driver ICs is provided. The report also includes an overview of the user sector market environment.

The competitive environment is reviewed with estimates of supplier market shares for 2006 for both of LED-driver ICs and OLED-display driver ICs. A directory of major suppliers is included with information on main company activities, company statistics, and contact details.

This study is designed to provide an up-to-date comprehensive assessment of the market with in-depth statistics and analysis, and to forecast the impact of significant trends over the next five years.
