Vertically integrated Taiwanese LED manufacturer Lextar Electronics Corp. has maintained an utilization rate of 80% and order visibility of about 1-1.5 months. Affected by mediocre demands for large sized backlight orders in 3Q13, LED manufacturers are closely paying attention to potential orders from U.S. and Europe Christmas season and stock up prior to the Chinese Lunar New Year. Demands are much better for direct-type LED TV and small/mid sized backlight, according to Lextar. In comparison side-view type LED TV and notebook backlight demands remained low.
