According to market research firm Strategies Unlimited forecasts, LED Driver IC market size by 2010 revenue of nearly $ 2 billion in 2015 to reach nearly 35 billion U.S. dollars, an average compound annual growth rate of 12%. The agency pointed out, LED backlight required LED driver IC, will be the main growth market, popular applications, including edge-lit televisions and monitors, LED lighting is the next potential applications.
Strategies Unlimited estimates lighting LED driver IC market growth rate between 2010 and 2015 up to 40%; the challenges facing the field of technology, including dimming technology, power-efficient, power factor and price.
1, the international IC manufacturers account for a large share of the market
As the LED driver IC to control the quality of light, so the chip quality and stability is very important. In contrast, the ability of international companies design better brand recognition and quality assurance has a high level, in this account for a large share of the market, but in terms of price, the LED driver IC, the cost of electronic products accounted for the proportion of terminal quite low, manufacturers usually do not consider the price as the primary, mainly on account of product features and product reliability to meet the requirements.
2, the world's top 10 LED driver IC suppliers accounted for 55% of value
Statistics show that the global top 10 of the LED driver IC suppliers accounted for 55% of the value of about 30 IC vendors and affiliated manufacturers shared the remaining 44%.
With the United States National Semiconductor acquired by Texas Instruments, Texas Instruments is the number one supplier of LED driver IC. Texas Instruments (TI) in 2010 with 17% market share. U.S. National Semiconductor Corporation (NSC) ranked second. TI and NSC combined company will be firmly occupy a quarter of the LED driver IC market.
3, Taiwan enterprises accelerate accounted LED driver IC market
Data show that in 2011, Taiwan's LED driver IC demand will reach 270 million, shipments will increase 128.4 percent. With the technology improved, Taiwan will be more excellent supply chain flexibility and lower prices, compared to the international IC manufacturers, get stronger shipments.
Therefore, the estimates in 2011, Taiwan's driver IC will reach 130 million, compared with 57.4 million in 2010 grew 128.4% significantly, which was significantly better than the same period 52.2% of international chip vendors growth rate.
4, the Chinese mainland led driver ic supplier maintain a rapid growth
Due to the mainland local IC suppliers have good service and low prices, in the LED display driver and control areas, the mainland's domestic IC market is expected to share will be further enhanced.
For the Chinese market, iSuppli predicts, in the global economy and electronics industry settlement recession, China LED driver IC market will grow rapidly. In 2013, China LED light product market will reach $ 139 million.

German security research laboratory point out: GSM mobile phone can easily be hacked
 |
| the results of safety tests maps |
Meeting in Berlin, Germany, the German security research labs Karsten Nohl said that all GSM phones have a security risk, even hackers can exploit this vulnerability in the user's knowledge of the case call or send text messages. You know, 80 percent of the world's mobile phone is based on the GSM network, so this news to a lot of scared people.
Nohl said that only in "very short time frame" to complete the thousands of calls to attack. In Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia, for the communication lines of attack have emerged. For example, following this scene: the crooks invade a company through the telephone system, and unlimited dial a service number to get service charge. The company has been invaded when checking phone bills will find the problem.
Nohl presented in this gathering of some better protection for hacking operators, such as T-Mobile in Germany and France, SFR. Located in 11 countries, 32 operators in the invasion test showed weak protection awareness - hackers can easily intercept calls, tracking, and even simulate a user's identity is also very easy.
"These are the overall network security situation is worrying," Nohl said, "Now it seems that mobile networks in the mobile ecosystem is the weakest link, even better than a lot of problems Android / iOS devices more worried." But hope is still there. Nohl pointed out that these operators can be a simple way to improve network security - for example, to upgrade their system software and mobile phones accessories.

Philips began the western gold rush tour in China
As among the first lighting manufacturer in the Chinese market, Philips has the advantage of China's development of LED industry seems equally clear.
The latest example comes from Philips, which announced on December 15, 2015 from the total planned investment of more than 25 million euros invested in the construction of the Chengdu Hi-tech Zone of professional LED light product project.
Early this year, Philips has just announced another "local market" of strategic planning in China. As the important implementation of this strategy one of the measures announced in June this year, Philips set up its regional headquarters in China's second-tech Development Zone in Chengdu.
"We will build closer to the local business model, better service the Midwest, then in the Chinese market to achieve greater success." Philips, executive vice president, Greater China CEO tetrachloride said.

"State Government for the entire LED industry is very strong support of the industry played a significant role. And the process of urbanization in China, but also accelerated the development of LED light industry." Tommy Leong said.
Topology Research Institute in 2012, mainland China LED lighting market will achieve a large outbreak, the market will grow from $ 2.8 billion in 2011, a substantial increase to 80 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 185%. The second half of 2012, penetration rate of China LED lighting will exceed 30% to 31%.
For being in a "downturn" of Philips, this is clearly a market can not be missed. In fact, Philips has just released third quarter earnings reported its third-quarter net profit from last year's € 524 million fell to 76 million euros, up 85% plunge; revenue from last year's € 5.46 billion decline in to 5.394 billion euros.
