China Electronics News: LED applications with hot investment industry is facing reshuffle

LED industry is a new strategic industry, with energy saving, environmental protection, high drive, high growth, the industry in 2009 by the national and local government's strong support. National Day celebration of the 60 anniversary of the Beijing Olympic Games after the application of LED as another aspect. At the same time, LED street lamp demonstration project has been implemented around the country. In April 2009 the Ministry of science and technology to promote energy-saving emission reduction, promote the semiconductor lighting core technology R & D and innovation ability, launched the "ten city lights" LED Street national plan, 21 domestic city launched a pilot application of semiconductor lighting engineering. In recent years, the demonstration of LED application in China do in addition to LED in lighting, full of sound and colour, large screen display, backlight, automobile and other fields also have good performance, can be said that the application of LED in our country at the forefront of the world, also in the international leading level. In the strong support of national and local governments, driven by the application, the overall level of China's LED industry has been rapidly improved.

Policy: support efforts continue to increase

The Ministry of science and technology, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of industry and information technology and other departments have been through the national 973 Plan, 863 plan, demonstration projects, high technology industry electronic development fund and other channels, increase scientific research and technology application in the field of semiconductor lighting support. China optical photonics Optoelectronics Industry Association branch vice chairman, vice president of Nanchang University Professor Jiang said in an interview with reporters, in recent years, 863 projects, electronic development fund, the national development and Reform Commission and the local government has given the key support and development of the LED industry, from the LED core manufacturing of epitaxial material and chip packaging, product application support and funding the overall level of the industry to improve the LED played a key role.

In April 2009, the state promulgated the "electronic information industry restructuring and revitalization plan", put forward a clear plan, in the next 3 years, the electronic information industry should focus on 9 key areas, to ensure the completion of backbone industry steady growth, strategic core industry to achieve a breakthrough, the new application of new growth driven three tasks, including the improvement of semiconductor lighting products research and development production capacity. In the implementation of measures to expand domestic demand also made it clear that support LED (light-emitting diode) energy-saving lighting products to promote the introduction of semiconductor lighting to promote the application of incentives.

If the planning for the LED industry support is not clear enough, so in October 12th, 6 ministries (National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of science and technology, Ministry of industry and information technology, Ministry of finance, Ministry of housing and urban construction, the National Quality Inspection Administration) jointly formulated and issued "semiconductor lighting industry development opinions", clearly put forward the development the objectives and policies of LED semiconductor lighting industry proposal. The development goal of semiconductor lighting industry we look at the views set: by 2015, the output value of the semiconductor lighting industry with an average annual growth rate of around 30%; product market share increased year by year, functional lighting can reach about 20%, more than 50% LCD backlight, landscape decoration and other products on the market share of more than 70% enterprises; independent innovation the ability to significantly enhance, large MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition equipment) equipment, key raw materials and more than 70% of the chip to achieve localization, the upstream chip scale production enterprises 3-5; industry concentration significantly increased, leading backbone enterprises with independent brands, large market influence about 10 semiconductor lighting standard system; preliminary establishment; to achieve annual saving 40 billion kwh, equivalent to 40 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Around the above development goals, the development of opinions also made it clear that we should actively implement policies to promote the development of semiconductor lighting industry incentives.

Carefully study the development objective of the views put forward, it is not difficult to find, to encourage the application at the same time, the LED upstream materials of domestic equipment as a key content presented in incentives also made clear to encourage the purchase of domestic MOCVD equipment, the use of domestic equipment to establish risk compensation mechanism, to support the localization of key equipment. Opinions also proposed that the semiconductor lighting products and key equipment included in the environmental protection product catalog, enjoy the corresponding incentives.

Application: driving industry to China

In April 2009 the Ministry of science and technology announced the launch of "ten city lights" semiconductor lighting engineering pilot work, in the next few months, especially around the country have started pilot city LED Street project, such as Shenzhen, Dongguan, Nanchang, Shanghai, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang etc..

In addition to lighting applications, LED another major application areas - LED display by the founding of new China 60 anniversary celebration shine. It can be argued that, in 2009 LED applications led the whole industry chain as a whole jumped.

China optical photonics industry association LED application branch chairman Guan Jizhen in the China Electronics News reporter, said the objective analysis and understanding of the actual level of technology in the field of LED. "Domestic chip materials to meet application display should be said to have a good foundation, two LED display the 60 anniversary of the new China established the National Day in Tiananmen square central location, using the domestic LED materials, good display effect. For LED lighting and application development, you can say: LED in the application has been mature and widespread, promote the development of a large space; application in special lighting field, rapid development in the field of general lighting applications just unfolding; started, the prospect of unlimited development, Ren
