The Recent Development of Taiwan Photonics Industry

 
 

 

 

Abstract: 

 

Because of financial meltdown, the production value of Taiwan photonics industry in 2009 presented recession with a historical dramatic negative 17%, to USD$52 billion USD. The flat panel display (FPD) gained the largest portion-71% (i.e. USD$37 B) in Taiwan photonics industry, although it’s high reduction rate. It was beyond expectation that “LED & Lighting Application” could remain it’s scale- USD$ 2.7 billion with a little growth. The solar cell industry also suffered with almost 20% recession. On the other fields, Optical Storage, Optical Input & Output devices, and Optical Fiber Communication could remain their scale without a serious reduction. Since energy issue, new application and emerging region market, we expect Taiwan photonics industry could rebound this year (2010) with a 15% growth rate.
