Taiwan's LED chip maker Huga's largest shareholder Epistar (with a 46% equity interest) has taken three seats on Huga board.
According to Huga, it will expand its MOCVD equipment to a total of 60 sets at the end of 2010 and to 80 sets in 2011, and will adjust TV backlighting products to 10% of its total shipments at the end of the year and over 20% in 2011. High-brightness LED products currently represent 70-80% of Huga's revenues.
Despite of the shortage of sapphire substrates, Huga pointed out that in the future, it will cooperate with Epistar to strengthen both their positions in procurement, but added that order sharing between the companies is unlikely.
