Taiwan LED makers Unity Opto, I-Chiun Precision Industry Co., Ltd., Leadlink, Lextar and Formosa Epitaxy seen to have brisk sales in August.

Unity Opto, I-Chiun, and Leadlink saw sales hit new highs in July and are estimated to score another high in August in the regularly busy third quarter.

According to industry executives, capacity utilization of Taiwan’s LED industry is still on the climb, leading to satisfactory earnings in the first half of 2012 at most of the island’s LED makers. They felt that these manufacturers would be more profitable in Q3 than Q2.

Unity Opto landed orders in excess of NT$950 million
Unity Chairman Alpha Wu pointed out that the company had landed orders in excess of NT$950 million (US$31 million at US$1:NT$30) in August thanks to strong orders from mainland China’s color-TV makers for LED backlights.

I-Chiun benefits from mainland’s brisk backlight demand
I-Chiun is another beneficiary of the mainland’s brisk backlight demand, expecting its monthly sales to further increase after rising an estimated 10% in August from July.

Leadlink won huge orders from TV makers in mainland and South Korea
Leadlink stays competitive in the LED-lit TV market from light nonuniformity of full LED array backlights, which need secondary optic lens from suppliers like Leadlink to skew the inherent shortcoming.

Formosa Epitaxy’s sales have been on the rise since beginning of this quarter. Improved product mixes have promoted industry executives to give the company positive forecast on its sales for coming months.
