Continuing pressure on ASPs will mean that overall revenues from backlighting applications will drop from US $1.30 billion in 2006 to just over $984 million in 2011.
"By 2011, 82% of all handsets shipped will include a camera", observed Asif Anwar, Director of the Strategy Analytics GaAs service.
"This will drive LED demand for the camera flash function, which will be the only growth market for LED manufacturers - especially as the standard resolution for camera phones will feature 2Mpixel and above".
"2Mpixel and higher resolutions will feature in 68% of all camera phones shipped in 2011 driving LED flash demand", noted Stuart Robinson, Director of Strategy Analytics Handset Component Technologies (HCT) service.
"Xenon-based flash penetrated only 4% of this market segment in 2006".
"However, LED-based flash will face growing competition from Xenon technology as camera phone resolutions increase".
Strategy Analytics also predicts that there will be an increasing number of LEDs going into handsets for other applications, including indicators for Bluetooth functionality, call alert and personalisation, but the commodity pricing will offset volume demand.
