LCD driver IC packaging and testing houses Chipbond Technology and ChipMOS Technologies have both seen their capacity utilization rates fall to 70-80%, due mainly to poor TV sales and decelerating smartphone growth, according to a Chinese-language Liberty Times report. 

Falling utilization rates will drag down revenues at Chipbond and ChipMOS in the fourth quarter of 2015, said the report, which cited market watchers. 

Chipbond has reported net profits of NT$418 million (US$13.24 million) on consolidated revenues of NT$4.29 billion for the second quarter of 2015. Profits and revenues for the quarter represented decreases of 8.1% and 1.1%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2014. 

Fellow company ChipMOS generated consolidated revenues of NT$5.07 billion in the second quarter of 2015, down 6.4% on year, while profits shrank to NT$72.3 billion compared with NT$169.8 billion a year earlier.
