LED Taiwan to co-locate with Taiwan International Lighting Show

SEMI has announced that starting in 2014, LED Taiwan, the only LED manufacturing-focused exposition in Taiwan, will co-locate with the Taiwan International Lighting Show, Taiwan’s largest solid-state lighting exhibition and conference. The exhibition will be held at TWTC Nagang Exhibition Hall in Taiwan from 20-22 March.

Taiwan represents over 21% of the world’s LED manufacturing capacity - more than any other region, according to the SEMI Opto/LED Fab Forecast report. Meanwhile, worldwide LED epitaxy capacity is expected to reach 2.4 million in 2013 (4″ equivalent per month), with Taiwan LED makers accounting for the largest share of capacity (around 28%) with their facilities in Taiwan and China.

The solid-state lighting market is expected to reach nearly $60bn by 2018, at a CAGR of 18.7% from 2013 to 2018, according to analyst firm Research and Markets. The Asia-Pacific region will account for approximately 50% of the total, making the combined Taiwan event ideally positioned to serve this rapidly growing market.

From epitaxy, chips, packaging to end applications, Taiwan has developed a comprehensive LED supply chain that has built a wealth of knowledge and know-how. Business opportunities abound with high demands for equipment, parts/components and materials. The event provides an opportunity to learn new trends and seize business opportunities, with renewed opportunities to bridge the LED manufacturing and LED lighting supply chains.

Attend LED Taiwan, now co-located with TILS, and meet Delta, Edison Opto, Epistar, Everlight, Forward, NYPI and more major companies face to face.

LED Taiwan is organised by SEMI and TAITRA, co-organised by TOSIA (Taiwan Optoelectronic Semiconductor Industry Association). The Taiwan International Lighting Show (TILS) is organised by the Taiwan Bureau of Foreign Trade, MOEA, and implemented by Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) Taiwan Lighting Fixture Export Association (TLFEA).

The combined LED Taiwan and TILS event is projected to attract 500 exhibitors and nearly 20,000 attendees from all sectors of the lighting and LED industries. Another concurrent event -  tSSL (Taiwan Solid State Lighting), organised by ITRI, TOSIA, TAITRA, TLFEA and SEMI - brings together scientists and engineers actively engaged in research, development and manufacturing, all aspects of solid-state lighting including materials, epitaxial growth, chip processing, optical, package and heat dissipation design, as well as systems and applications, to discuss current progress in this field.  Each year, over 300 industry professionals attend.
