From the "God seven" to the car lights LED concern civilian areas

"God seven" is a leap in China's manned space technology. Illuminate this historic picture, is the LED (light emitting diode) lighting system developed by the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, Chinese Academy of sciences. In the size of the book area, the arrangement of 24 LED small bulb, only 27 watts of energy consumption, but provides an amazing illumination.

Project leader, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics researcher Zhang Tao said that in recent years, the development of LED lighting is very fast, it has high luminous efficiency, long life, safe and reliable. In the past, the international space lighting gas discharge metal halide lamps, and "God seven" historic attempt to LED lighting.

In fact, LED lights have begun to enter the daily life, however, there is still a bit expensive for civilian purposes. Therefore, the introduction of LED, high-end market development potential. In the field of aerospace, the high reliability of products is the first. Open up the market, to promote LED technology is very useful. Zhang Tao said, there are already two or three companies demand, hoping to cooperate with the Institute to explore the use of LED lighting technology for some special civilian areas (such as automotive headlamps, etc.). Although the high cost of laboratory technology, but the relevant enterprises will provide a technical inspiration. "

Zhang Tao said that in the process of LED technology to the automotive headlight transfer, the customer stability, reliability, luminous efficiency and other higher requirements. If the space program to achieve the technical achievements of these civilian applications, it is possible to save investment in R & D resources, to achieve a multiplier effect. "
