Due to the epidemic situation, active sterilization and disinfection of UVC LEDs has received high attention from the market. Jingdian and Longda's UVC LED products have recently been in demand; Baihong is also actively developing UVC LED products and has been in contact with clients.
According to the legal person, UVC is widely used in air sterilization and purification, water sterilization, surface disinfection and medical phototherapy, and the public's health awareness has risen. Epistar has already deployed the UVCLED field, and mass-produced 275-285nmUVCLED products are delivered to packaging plants for shipment.
Longda has developed a UVCLED equipped with an optical lens package and an irradiated energy of 15mW. Its small light-emitting angle can concentrate energy and improve the efficiency of sterilization, which can be used for daily sterilization. The two major manufacturers all stated that UVCLED-related products are being shipped. LED factory Baihong is also actively developing UVCLED products, and has already contacted the client and is on the eve of mass production.
Epistar recently announced that its January revenue reached 970 million yuan (NTD, the same below), a monthly decrease of 28.18% and an annual decrease of 23.48%. Jingdian said that it is mainly affected by the off-season and the epidemic, but Jingdian's main production capacity is in Taiwan. The mass production progress of new products including high-end TV backlight and MiniLED will not be affected. It is expected to ship from late February to March.
Lunda's MiniLED backlight has been mass-produced and shipped last year, locking in 32-inch gaming monitor screens. Last year, new products such as MiniLED and VCSEL accounted for 10 to 20% of revenue. The company received an order for 17.3-inch MiniLED backlight and entered the gaming notebook In the factory supply chain, this year's MiniLED, VCSEL and other new product revenues are expected to increase to more than 20%.
Baihong's January revenue was affected by the epidemic, with a monthly decrease of 54% and a year-on-year decrease of 49%. The legal person pointed out that Baihong has been actively transforming in recent years, from revenue-oriented to focusing on product profit performance, and gradually eliminating poorly profitable businesses. Focusing on customized niche products, despite the impact of the epidemic in the first quarter of this year, the overall industry demand has fallen at the end of last year. This year, Baihong's operating performance is still expected to grow slowly.
