Ceramic substrate maker Tong Hsing Electronic Industries THEIL will continue to ramp up its capacity for LED thin film ceramic substrates through the end of the year on strong demand, according to company president Henry Liu.
The company's plant in Yinko, northern Taiwan is currently able to roll out 300,000 LED ceramic substrates a month, while its plant in the Philippines is capable of producing 100,000 substrates a month, Liu indicated.
Sales of LED ceramic substrates reached NT$639 million US$20 million in the second quarter of 2010, increasing 38% from the previous quarter, the company noted.
Sales of the company's other major products, including PA power amplifier modules and image sensor products, also posted strong growth in the second quarter. Hybrid IC assembly/packaging business, however, declined 7% sequentially, said the company.
