China semiconductor lighting market sales growth of 48%

China's semiconductor lighting industry is entering an important period of independent innovation and achieve leapfrog development. In 2006 the domestic chip market share of 44%, has been successfully developed including LED lights, lamp and other four major categories of more than and 140 new products, from 2001 to 2006, semiconductor lighting market sales of an average annual growth rate of 48%.

This is the 22 day of the opening of the Shanghai China International Semiconductor Lighting Forum and Exhibition (CHINASSL) to upload the information.

According to reports, China has become the world's largest producer and exporter of lighting appliances. 2006, China's lighting industry output value of about 160 billion yuan, exports $10 billion, accounting for 18% of the global market.

It is reported that the development of "11th Five-Year" national semiconductor lighting project, the target will focus on semiconductor white light lighting, part of the core patent technology breakthrough white lighting; around the major strategic research on downstream products, joint research, to address the constraints of common key technologies of industrial development; the implementation of industrial technology alliance and personnel training, base construction strategy. Establish and perfect the technology innovation system and industrial clusters, to enhance the capability of industrial innovation, the formation of independent intellectual property rights and Chinese characteristics of the emerging semiconductor lighting industry finally.
