美国DisplaySearch在“第21届DisplaySearch论坛”（2011年7月27～28日）上就led市场的预测发表了演讲，预计照明LED的需求按照数量计算将直逼背光LED，并在2014年超过背光LED。发表演讲的该公司LED高级分析师、DisplaySearch Taiwan的Leo Liu介绍说，在2011年的LED需求方面，照明LED为135亿2900万个，背光LED为459亿6900万个。双方的差距约为3.4倍。而在2014年，照明LED和背光LED的需求将分别达到585亿5800万个和506亿4300万个，前者的需求超过后者。At the 21st DisplaySearch Forum, held on July 27–28, 2011, U.S.-based DisplaySearch presented its LED market forecast, predicting that demand for lighting LEDs by unit volume would rapidly approach that for backlight LEDs and surpass it in 2014. Leo Liu, senior LED analyst at DisplaySearch Taiwan, said in his presentation that demand in 2011 would reach 13.529 billion lighting LEDs and 45.969 billion backlight LEDs, a gap of approximately 3.4 times. In 2014, demand would reach 58.558 billion lighting LEDs and 50.643 billion backlight LEDs, with lighting overtaking backlighting.
照明LED需求反超背光LED的原因是，随着LED照明的稳步普及，每台产品在液晶面板背光中配备的LED数量将减少。液晶电视和液晶显示器等采用大尺寸液晶面板的产品，目前是背光LED市场的推动力。由于LED亮度的提高和产品成本的降低等因素，这些产品中配备的LED数量趋于减少。在配备大尺寸液晶面板的产品中，目前LED背光正处于普及阶段，因此即使每台产品配备的LED数量减少，但产品的数量在增加，所以整个市场上的LED需求一直在扩大。不过，LED背光的普及告一段落后，就无法依靠产品数量的增加来弥补LED配备数量的减少了，因此LED需求会出现缩小。DisplaySearch预测认为，背光LED需求将在2013年迎来峰值，之后逐渐减少。The reason is that, while LED lighting adoption continues to grow steadily, the number of LEDs used for the backlight of each LCD panel is decreasing. Products with large LCD panels, such as LCD televisions and monitors, currently drive the backlight LED market. Improved LED brightness and pressure to reduce product costs are causing the number of LEDs per product to decline. LED backlighting is still being adopted across large-panel products, so rising product volumes have continued to expand overall LED demand despite the reduction in LEDs per unit. Once adoption reaches maturity, however, growth in product volumes will no longer offset the declining number of LEDs installed, and demand will shrink. DisplaySearch predicts that demand for backlight LEDs will peak in 2013 and then gradually decline.
据DisplaySearch介绍，LED照明的普及将持续一段时间，因此需求仍有望增加。据DisplaySearch的Liu介绍，2011年LED照明产品在所有照明产品中所占的比例仅为1.9％。即使是照明LED需求反超背光LED需求的2014年，其比例也只有9.3％，所以增长空间较大。（摘自《中国LED网》）According to DisplaySearch, the adoption of LED lighting will continue for some time, leaving further room for demand growth. Liu said LED lighting products represented just 1.9% of all lighting products in 2011. Even in 2014, when demand for lighting LEDs is expected to exceed that for backlight LEDs, that share will be only 9.3%, indicating substantial room for growth. (Excerpted from China LED Network.)
