Guangdong to promote the application of LED industry development

At the end of May this year, "Guangdong province to promote the use of LED lighting products plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "plan") was promulgated, inject a shot in the arm for the development of the LED industry around Guangdong city. The scheme takes the contract energy management (EMC) mode as the carrier, takes the power grid as the main body of the management, and takes the public lighting field as the breakthrough point, and establishes the LED lighting product promotion system which is dominated by the government and the market operation. Guangdong should strive to popularize the LED public lighting before the end of 2014, the whole society to promote the popularity of LED lighting, pull the LED industry in 12th Five-Year to achieve an annual output value of more than $500 billion.

LED industry, has also been highly valued by the Guangdong provincial government. In 2008, the Guangdong provincial government to implement large-scale replacement of LED street and LED street plan of major scientific and technological demonstration of special demonstration projects; organize the implementation of "Trinidad one hundred thousand" high power LED lamp industrialization demonstration project; in 2010, the Guangdong provincial government executive meeting of the LED lighting industry as one of the three strategic emerging industries focus on the development of Guangdong province; in 2011, formulated the "12th Five-Year" "development plan of Guangdong province LED industry"......

Guangdong vigorously develop the basis and significance of the LED industry? In the promotion of LED lighting products in the process, which should be paid attention to? To this end, this reporter interviewed the authoritative experts in this area, South China University of Technology, Guangdong Province, director of the center for optoelectronic engineering technology, doctoral tutor Professor Wang Hong.

High degree of industrial relations driven high efficiency

Wang Hong pointed out that Guangdong has 60% of the country's traditional lighting products, lighting companies in the field of traditional lighting industry has accumulated experience and channel advantages. At present, the packaging and application fields in the middle and lower reaches of the LED industry in Guangdong province are far ahead of the rest of the country.

Guangdong province to promote LED lighting, Wang Hong think: This is conducive to improving and optimizing the industrial structure of the lighting industry. LED industry covers many fields, such as energy saving, environmental protection, high technology, microelectronics and major equipment manufacturing. In addition, it plays an important role in the information industry, automotive electronics, raw materials and equipment manufacturing, consumer electronics, aerospace, solar photovoltaic and the entire optoelectronics industry and other fields.

In addition, LED technology is considered as the development of semiconductor technology in twenty-first Century a key breakthrough point, will promote the development of the third generation wide bandgap semiconductor technology, is an important starting point to semiconductor optoelectronic technology, has extremely important strategic significance to the development of a new generation of information technology.

LED as a green lighting source, or an important way to promote energy saving and emission reduction in Guangdong. If according to the traditional lamp energy saving 50%, Guangdong LED industry can save energy of 18 billion kwh per year, equivalent to an annual savings of 6 million 500 thousand tons of standard coal.

According to the research predicts that in 2015 the semiconductor lighting and LED display industry contribution to Guangdong's GDP will reach 230 billion yuan.

Need to cross the technical threshold

Wang Hong believes that the Guangdong province after the "leading role" in 11th Five-Year during the demonstration project, in the field of public lighting, LED light source technology is mature, high quality of products, basically have the large scale application conditions.

In the promotion of LED process, we need to pay attention to some problems: first, many technical barriers need to cross. In addition to packaging, Guangdong LED enterprises in these key common technologies are in a weak position, still need further research. Two foreign patent barriers to be broken. Although the development of LED lighting technology is very large, but the core patents have been controlled by several foreign companies. Three domestic and international market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. At present, only a small number of enterprises in Guangdong can independently develop LED applications for the market, the lack of core technology and market competitiveness of the fist products. Four is the need to improve the construction of talent team. At present, LED industry research and development personnel, especially the lack of high-end talent, has become the Guangdong LED industry to achieve high-end development of the short board.

Wang Hong suggested that the government can increase the talent and technology research efforts from the capital, encourage technological innovation in manufacturing industry chain, LED supporting materials industry chain and equipment industry chain, the formation of a key technical breakthrough of its own intellectual property rights, focusing on the leading role of the whole industry on the market for products development the guide, promote the rapid development of the whole industry in the application.

In addition, the further promotion of LED products, LED products to promote the national standardization and modularization; give full play to two provincial and municipal government initiative, leading enterprises as the basis, focus on market segments, the formation characteristics of the region to the formation of the province's comprehensive development of the whole industry chain.
