Himax to Mass Produce White LED Driver ICs

Himax Technologies Inc., a designer of driver IC chipsets and affiliated with Taiwan-based Chi Mei Group, has announced a plan to kick off mass production of white LED (light emitting diode) driver ICs at the end of the third quarter of this year, according to an article on Taiwan Economic Times.

Himax claimed that the LED driver IC chipset features cost efficiency and will be mainly applied to netbook PC and notebook PCs. LED has been vastly used as the light source of backlights of display panels, the company noted, adding that LED-backlit models are expected to account for 60% of all notebook PCs this year and 95% in 2010, with over 150 million LED driver IC chipsets in demand worldwide, the report said.
