China has become the world's largest producer of lighting appliances

Newspaper news (reporter Wang Chun Qian Yi) China has become the world's largest lighting production and export country, but last year China lighting industry output value of about 160 billion yuan, exports of $10 billion, accounting for only 18% of the global market, and become the bottleneck of the development is not strong. Today, the fourth China International Semiconductor Lighting Forum and exhibition held in Shanghai.

Vice Minister Liu Yanhua said at the opening ceremony, semiconductor lighting is one of the important ways to realize energy saving and emission reduction, build up powerful supporting system of science and technology, promote scientific innovation and technological progress is an important means of energy efficiency, reduce pollution emissions level, is the fundamental guarantee to realize energy saving and emission reduction. At present, there are still a lot of semiconductor lighting technology is not yet mature, technology development and large-scale production and market development needs of multi-disciplinary, multi industry and even the community's joint action.

Liu Yanhua said that since the last century since 90s, semiconductor lighting technology change rapidly, LED (light emitting diode) is rich in color and digital control, will make the streets, home, leisure places become more colorful and personalized. LED long life and high efficiency will greatly reduce the power consumption of the whole society, serious pressure to reduce environmental pollution; the distributed energy supply can be combined with LED lighting and solar cells, to bring light to the remote and poor areas.

In order to seize the commanding heights of the emerging industries of semiconductor lighting, to achieve leapfrog development, China's semiconductor lighting industry has been highly valued by the government, science and technology and industry. Shanghai industrial base as one of the national industrial base 5 approved by Ministry of science and technology, has now formed a Zhang Jiang high tech park as the core, radiation Jiading, Songjiang, Yangpu, Putuo, Caohejing regional semiconductor lighting industry group. As of 2006, Shanghai has 105 LED related patents, and access to a number of scientific and technological achievements, but also developed a number of national standards, industry standards and internal standards of the optical industry 100.
