Company summary: IMS Research is committed to tracking the evolution of a number of renewable and energy efficiency mark<strong>et</strong>s such as solar, wind, smart grid and LEDs among others. Our LED efforts are focused on the entire LED supply chain from sapphire ingots and MOCVD tools to end products such as LED TVs, LED lamps and LED luminaires. We are tracking LED production capacity, LED yields, LED shipments and shipments of products that use LEDs. For example, we are able to track the number of LEDs each panel supplier consumes each quarter as we are tracking their precise LED configurations at every size, resolution and refresh rate. Our m<strong>et</strong>hodology allows us to precisely compare LED supply and demand taking into account variations in die size and wafer size. Our current product portfolio covers LED equipment, LED supply and manufacturing, LED demand, packaged LED shipments, backlighting, general lighting and LED driver ICs.
