Based on seeking help from Taiwanese LED component makers to get away from growing competition of global TV brands, the China Video Industry Association scheduled to visit Taiwanese LED suppliers from the nation's major LED chip packagers and makers such as Epistar Corp.

As the experts predict, LED TV will be one of the fast-growing areas in the future to replace CCFL backlight source for LCD TV panels, pointed out by deputy director of the association Bai Weimin.

On this occasion,"the supplies of some LED components from Chinese firms have been unable to catch up with demand because of some technological barriers. And Taiwanese firms are superior in the LED industry," Bai added.However, she believed that Chinese TV makers would buy US$5.3 billion worth of LCD panels from the nation's top three LCD panel suppliers — AU Optronics Corp , Chimei Innolux Corp and Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd .

The association expected LED TVs to comprise more than 30 percent of the 38 million overall units of LCD TVs sold in China this year, rather than 20 percent as it had estimated previously.
