Domestic automobile innovation high vehicle LED broad prospects

According to world auto production statistics before the World Automobile Manufacturers Association released the 2009 world car production totaled 60 million 990 thousand vehicles. China rose to the world's largest car producer, the annual output grew by 48.3%, to the top of the 13 million 790 thousand. China's auto production and sales in 2010 is expected to exceed 15 million new record highs.

Prediction with Asia especially the sustained growth of the automobile market China and LED backlight and lighting applications is becoming more and more mature and the cost is reduced continuously, the global automotive LED market in 2010~2012 years will be a 15% annual rate of expansion, the market size in 2012 from $4 billion 180 million in 2006, increased to $12 billion. Car sales in the next 10 years will be times the current LED. At present, LED has been widely used in automotive interior lighting, LED in the gradual transition to the car headlights, taillights and other products, showing the development trend from the inside out, from the back to the front. In recent years, with the upgrading of the level of some car lighting technology and the cost of decline, LED applications have increased. The Honda accord, Teana, crown, Reiz, Cadillac series, Buick Royaum models have adopted the LED lighting technology.

To the application point of view, the future use of the car dashboard, portable DVD CD-ROM and vehicle navigation system 5~10 inch LCD panel backlight, automobile headlight using white LED will become the driving force of the market growth. Although the 2009 car LED market growth rate is slow, but the EU is currently promoting the day light regulation, will further drive the take-off of LED market, from the original car brake lights, car lights, room lighting direction areas continue to expand.

With headlights LED as an example, a Japanese car factory TOYOTA listed in May 2007 of the "LexusLS600h" as the world's first LED models equipped with headlights. In the same year, the German Audi car R8 also equipped with LED lights. LS600h only uses a white LED in the low beam lights, while the R8 and CadillacEscaladePlatinum low beam lights and high beam lights all use a white LED. The LS600h lamp, R8 Nichia supplier for the United States PhilipsLumiledsLighting, as a supplier for the German OSRAM CadillacEscaladePlatinum lamp.

Published by Japan's Fuji Chimera comprehensive study of global white LED Market Research Report, expected market size in 2010 will reach 350 billion 200 million yen (about 28 billion yuan), the annual output is 15 billion 600 million 7 thousand and 820. Although the use of the car, although the proportion of the entire market is not large, but the future is expected to achieve significant growth. White LED market is currently mainly used for LCD backlight. Vehicle use in car lights, such as the center, the number of shares accounted for only 5~6%. However, it is expected that the headlight restrictions will be relaxed, coupled with the brightness of the white LED and so on, by 2010 the number of vehicles with white LED regardless of the amount or amount will have a significant increase.

Vehicle LED market scale growth is high, and the current average gross margin is generally above 20%, LED manufacturers to compete for the field. But China's Taiwan Region Research Institute pointed out that because the car headlights require a higher heat dissipation, reliability, brightness and other specifications threshold has been imported car factory manufacturers are mainly Nichias, Osram and other international manufacturers, the main factory in Taiwan LED market, or in the car tail lights and interior lights as the main instrument panel backlight application and so on. Light is the main suppliers, including billion. The East Bay supply to Nissan small car, and also for Hongqi dashboard backlight LED OEM manufacturers.

And application in car taillights and lights (such as dashboard backlight etc), at present China's Taiwan region, there have been many successful entry into the LED factory, including Acer Qi Long dashboard backlight LED manufacturers OEM, East Bay is currently NissanMarch car taillight supplier, is mainly Dayi billion light the supplier. In terms of the total amount and quantity of shipments, billion light is currently in Taiwan LED car shipments larger manufacturers, but this part of the total revenue accounted for the proportion of billions of light is still very low.

According to the alliance national semiconductor lighting project (CSA) recently released data show that Dominant and OSRAM two companies currently in the absolute market share accounted for 60% of the global automotive electronics. In recent years, China's Taiwan and the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta region, the rapid development of enterprises in the past two years, the quality has been significantly improved, to win a certain market price. Shenzhen REFOND optoelectronics for small and medium size in the car dashboard, car audio, car DVD, car LCD backlight is the domestic brand car manufacturer of optoelectronic devices mainstream providers, technology level and market share of products in the country after Germany OSRAM. It is in the leading position in the development of high temperature resistant materials, fluorescent color matching technology and vibration resistance of products.

With LED light emitting assembly technology level, the decline in product prices, LED combination taillights, LED brake lights, LED lights will become the mainstream of China's car headlight configuration. CSA is expected in 2010 China's LED pre installed market (OEM supporting the market), LED combination taillights, LED central high brake lights, automotive meter backlight and other LED lights will reach 5 billion yuan matching.
