China is expected to LED core equipment localization

2 watts of ordinary light bulbs a few dollars, how much is the 2 Watt LED high brightness lamp? 50 yuan! It turned out that the production of LED chips to buy foreign manufacturing equipment, the cost can be imagined. Yesterday learned from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the school is developing domestic manufacturing equipment, is expected to mass production.

The production of chip manufacturing equipment, is the core of the LED industry chain technology in the world at present, scanty enterprises can produce the equipment, a semiconductor lighting device chip, the price as high as 15 million yuan.

At present, the HUST National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (chips) Professor Gan Zhiyin team responsible for the development of the school, a cooperation agreement with Guangdong Akinobu group, is Guangdong Foshan prototype chip manufacturing prototype, 1 years after the success of the trial, a batch of domestic equipment, production cost of LED chip will be greatly reduced. LED product prices are expected to decline.
