Backlighting unit (BLU) maker Radiant Opto-Electronics has reported 2013 consolidated revenues reached over NT$63.54 billion (US$2.07 billion), down 16% on year.

　　However, during 2013 the company changed its product mix, focusing on increased shipments of BLUs used in tablet products, which helped Radiant bump up its profit margin from 11.64% in 2012 to 14.29% in 2013.

　　Radiant's operating costs reached over NT$5.91 billion while net profits reached NT$4.71 billion. The company also reported an EPS of NT$10.13.

　　In terms of shipments, Radiant reported notebook and tablet applications reached 110 million units, up 9% on year, while those for LCD monitors reached 10.77 million, decreasing on year. Shipments for BLUs in LCD TVs meanwhile also decreased to 670,000 units.

　　Sources at the company meanwhile stated that Radiant's consolidated revenues in January and February 2014 declined 17% and 38.65% on month, respectively, largely due to Apple adjusting its reserves. The effects of the adjustment are expected to bring more than a 30% on-quarter decline for the company in first-quarter 2014.

　　Radiant expects most of its revenues in the second half of 2014 to come from products used in 9.7- and 12.9-inch tablets in addition to 4.7-inch smartphones, the sources noted.
