6, Toyota Synthetic (Toyoda Gosei)
Toyota Synthetic, headquartered in Aichi, Japan, produces automotive parts and LEDs, which account for about 10% of revenue.
The white LED developed by Toyota Synthetic and Toshiba is a combination of UV LEDs and phosphors, which is different from the general combination of blue LEDs and phosphors. If the LED is likened to a car, then it can be said that Nichia has proposed the concept of the wheel and the engine, while Toyota Synthetic has proposed the concept of the car body and the tire. In 1986, commissioned by the honorary professor Mr. Akasaki, Toyota Synthetic began to develop LED research and development using its own accumulation of thin film technology for automotive parts. In 1987, commissioned by the Science and Technology Promotion Group, Toyota Synthetic successfully formed LED electrodes on sapphire. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call Toyota Synthetic "the pioneer of blue LED". Toyota Synthetic has grown at a relatively fast pace in recent years. In 1998, its sales were 6.3 billion yen, but by 2002 it had grown to 25.2 billion yen.
In 2003, due to the lack of brightness of the white light source of mobile phones, low-cost strategies in Taiwan and South Korea, and the downturn in the European display market, Toyota Synthetic failed to complete the original plan to sell 34 billion yen, but its sales. Both the amount and the profit reached the highest level in history. The most popular one is the white LED for mobile phones. From 2.7 billion yen in 2002 to 12.3 billion yen, accounting for 40% of total sales. The rest are blue, blue-green and 3in1 white LEDs. In 2003, domestic sales accounted for 80% of the total, which was 23.7 billion yen. Overseas sales: Asia 4.7 billion yen. In terms of applications, mobile phones accounted for 72%. In addition, there are more LCD backlights, buttons, and back LCD backlights (3in1). There are also many applications in signal equipment and large display screens.
In 2004, Toyota Synthetic planned to sell 42 billion yen, but due to the downturn in the mobile phone market, the sales plan had to be revised to 30 billion yen. In order to capture Nissan Chemical's 90% market share in the mobile phone backlight market, Toyota Synthetic intends to increase the brightness of white LEDs. In the fall of 2004, it developed a white LED "TGWHITEII" with a brightness of 1000mcd, which is 600-700mcd. It shines a lot. Then, Toyota Huahe began to develop 1300mcd white LED. In addition, car navigation systems and computer-specific liquid crystal controllers, TV-specific large-scale LCD backlights, etc. are also Toyota's target design and development of lighting applications in the city is also in full swing. In addition to the factory in Hirakata-cho, Aichi Prefecture, Toyota Chemicals Co., Ltd. has established a second production base for producing GaN LEDs such as blue LEDs in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture. Its equipment investment totaled 15.6 billion yen, and its planned monthly production in 2006 reached 200 million. By then, the total production capacity of the two plants will reach 420 million per month, with the goal of LED sales reaching 120 billion yen in 2008.
