Make up for the shortage of Japanese home appliance companies have expanded LED production capacity

According to foreign media reports, due to the current shortage of LCD TVs and lighting LEDs and their accessories, Mitsubishi Chemical, Toshiba and other Japanese home appliance companies have expanded their LED production capacity.

Mitsubishi Chemical plans to invest 7 billion yen to expand its production capacity of the original LED production line. It is expected that by 2015, LED production capacity will increase to six times.

Sharp has announced that it will mass produce LCD TV backlights and blue LED chips for LED lighting at the Fukuyama Plant this year. By 2011, the annual production capacity of blue LED chips in the two factories in Sharp Fushan and Sanyuan can reach 5 billion.

Toyota's global LED giant plans to double its annual LED production capacity by 2012, from the current 5 billion to 10 billion.

Toshiba said it will mass produce LED chips at its Kitakyushu plant in 2011.

It is understood that due to the shortage of LEDs and their accessories, Panasonic will postpone the VIERAD2 series of 42-inch LED LCD TVs, which were planned to be released on June 11, and postpone it until September this year. In addition, some of the BRAVIA series products that Sony originally planned to release in April this year have also been delayed.
