"東貝4月營收攀升"

國內LED照明大廠東貝，上個月合併營收達8億元，創下18個月來的新高。這顯示LED在價格逐漸走跌的趨勢下，消費者越來越能接受以LED取代傳統省電燈泡的觀念。尤其在電價不斷上揚的推波助瀾下，照明市場已經逐漸走入大規模的汰換世代週期。

東貝表示，室內照明的市場需求自三月起就出現明顯成長，四月的接單量更是暢旺。尤其夏季即將來臨，許多店家或家庭為降低夏季浮動電價的衝擊，更換LED已經成為消費者節能的第一選擇。

另一方面大尺寸電視已經逐漸成為電視銷售主力，電視背光採用的LED，也因為大尺寸讓LED用量也多了兩三成左右。再加上各國政府推展節能獎勵政策，種種外在環境的轉變，可預見LED的產業前景，將是一片光明。
