Petrov Group Announces Report on LED Driver ICs

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The Petrov Group today announced a
landmark report in its Power Management IC Series on LED driver ICs and wafer
demand in 18 key lighting and display applications.

"This is a case of two major reports in one," said Boris Petrov, managing
partner of the Petrov Group. "The report provides competitive analyses and
overviews of the competitive landscape based on a detailed bottom up analysis
of 25 IC vendors - their LED IC product portfolio, business performance, and
technology and manufacturing trends. The report also addresses the market
dynamics and trends: market segmentation, segment penetration, and growth and
size during the 2008 to 2013 period and beyond."

"The explosive growth for LED driver ICs is truly unparalleled -- thirteen
device types among the 18 analyzed will have annual growth exceeding 45%
through the year 2013. Moreover, at that time several mega-markets will still
be only in their initial high growth stages."

"Data tables include 2008 to 2013 demand for LED driver ICs and wafers for
each of the 13 key display and 5 lighting applications analyzed applications:
-- By device unit shipment, LED penetration, number of LED driver ICs
-- By number of transistors in LED driver ICs, their chip area size,
pricing
-- By IC unit, revenues, and wafer demand by technology node
-- By trends in LED driver IC products by design implementation and
requirements for each of 18 application types -- with competitive maps
for 25 vendors

-- By integration trends, the enabling BCD and other technologies, and
the
rapidly increasing role of foundries -- for the 2008 to 2013 period
and
beyond."
