China's LED output value will exceed 100 billion yuan in 2010

The LED is an energy saving, environmental protection, long life and multi-purpose light source. Professional consulting institutions predict the global high brightness LED market will grow from $4 billion in 2006 to $9 billion in 2011, an average annual compound growth rate of 16.7%. Mainland China has become the world's important low-end LED packaging production base. 2006 China's LED output value of 14 billion yuan, is expected in 2008 the market size will reach $54 billion in the domestic LED industry in 2010 the scale of more than 100 billion yuan. Between 2000 to 2003, the popularity of mobile phone backlight to promote the rapid development of the global LED industry; from 2007 onwards, the notebook computer screen with LED gradually spread, is the motive force of the development of the global LED industry new future; high brightness LED lighting market is very broad.

LED production process includes single crystal growth and epitaxial growth, chip manufacturing and packaging. Upstream single crystals and epitaxial growth require high technology and capital. The core problem of LED industry is the breakthrough of material technology.

From the beginning of the 11th Five-Year plan, the Chinese government will be the semiconductor lighting project as a major project to promote. Most of the domestic enterprises are engaged in the downstream packaging and application of LED, most of the chips, key equipment and technology are imported from abroad.
