移動設備和電視的LED背光和驅動的發展趨勢

　　未來幾年LED的使用量將大幅增長，至少在未來一年里，這種增長可能歸功于背光照明，在智能手機、平板電腦和筆記本電腦以及電視等移動設備中有著廣泛的應用前景。2011，根據市場研究公司策略無限1，背光LED由移動設備最大的市場在34億美元。在電視和顯示器領域，LED收入估計為30億美元。在他們中間，背光占了LED市場總額的125億美元。

　　然而，市場預計將在未來幾年內改變其組成，因為已經出現了一些并行趨勢。例如，在手機市場，有機發光二極管正開始取代LED背光顯示屏。在對位方面，預計在平板電腦和相關移動設備中，LED背光將繼續顯著增長，例如高分辨率的iPad和電子書閱讀器，其中包括大量的LED。

　　LED backlighting for LCD TVs will continue to grow through 2012 and 2013， as the major manufacturers convert their designs. This has been slower than expected， according to market researchers， although some TV makers， such as Sharp， have already switched completely to LED backlighting. Governmental pressure and legislation in the US （Energy Star） and Europe （EuP） over power consumption of consumer electrical products， such as large TVs， is also influencing the move to LED backlighting. It has been reported that the power consumed by a large LCD screen， backlighting and associated circuitry， accounts for about two thirds of the total power consumed by a TV. Therefore， the power savings gained by shifting to LED backlighting are proving attractive. Fast switching and the ability to dim the lighting， when the picture itself is dark， for example， not only improve picture quality but save energy， too.
