The global sapphire crystal rod market is now dominated by Rubicon, the Russian company Monocrystal, etc. However, due to the massive expansion of Samsung LEDs such as Samsung LEDs and LG Innotek, the demand for LED sapphire ingots has increased, prompting the recent STC and Astek. In addition to the expansion plan, IljinDisplay, CrystalOn and other LED sapphire crystal rod cutting plants continue to increase production capacity.
The main suppliers of LED sapphire crystal rods in Korea are only two, including STC and Astek. Among them, STC has supplied sapphire crystal rods since 2000; Astek has only been supplied since the end of 2009, so it is not in the Korean sapphire crystal rod market. STC.
Comparing the production technologies of sapphire ingots from STC and Astek, the STC adopts the independent technology-Vertical Horizontal Gradient Freezing (VHGF) method; Astek introduces the Russian technology Kyropolus method.
STC plans to increase its monthly production capacity of LED sapphire crystal rods to about 350,000 pieces (based on 2 inches) by the end of 2010, and will build a new factory with 6-inch crystal rods. It is expected that STC sapphire crystal rods will be completed by the end of 2011. The monthly production capacity has a chance to double from the end of 2010; Astek also plans to significantly increase its long crystal equipment to close the gap between its production capacity and STC.
In terms of LED sapphire ingot cutting, the main Korean manufacturers are IljinDisplay and CrystalOn. By the end of the second quarter of 2010, the two Korean factories have continued to expand their cutting capacity. As for their supply targets, the proportion of Samsung LEDs is expected to be Continued to rise, the main Hans LCD, which is a partner of Samsung Electronics' LCD backlight module, has acquired CrystalOn shares, and Samsung LED accounts for 60% of IljinDisplay shipments.
In addition, due to the increased demand for sapphire ingots in Korea's LED factories, South Korea's sapphire crystal rods such as STC and Astek, or sapphire crystal rod cutting plants such as IljinDisplay and CrystalOn, are expected to have revenues in 2010 under continuous expansion. Hope to grow significantly.
