Japan 10 years after the lighting market or occupied by the LED/OLED

News, Japan in 2010 revised "energy basic plan", put forward in 2030 the amount of carbon dioxide emissions reduction target of 50% families in 1990, due to Japan's lighting energy consumption accounts for about 1/5 of daily life or above, in 2005 the Japanese use of electricity in the emissions of carbon dioxide is about 15% from lighting electricity, so the Japanese government wants to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, the use of LED and other high efficiency lighting will be an indispensable condition.

The Japanese government is expected in 2020 100%, lighting appliances on the market for the next generation of high efficiency lighting, lighting appliances in 2030, will also use 100% fully replaced the next generation high efficiency lighting (still less than 2%), and then put forward the policy target implementation schedule. 2010~2015 implementation of the policy focus through research and development, LED lighting efficiency will be raised to 200lm/W; OLED lighting luminous efficiency increased to 130lm/W, and reduce production costs in order to achieve practical goals. At present, the research and development project is led by the independent administrative legal person "new energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO)", which belongs to the economic and industrial province of japan.

In addition, the Japanese government also proposed policy incentives to encourage businesses and people to use LED lighting products. In Japan's national policy, tax cuts and forced use of large energy companies to switch to energy-saving products, while many local governments also provide local energy saving products and LED lighting subsidies. Japan's cities and counties launched the amount of subsidies and the relevant provisions are different, most of the use of LED in other energy-saving products, sharing the same subsidy scheme. Such as Tokyo Chiyoda, if LED lighting products meet standards, can apply for the installation of 1/5 of the amount of subsidy.

After the application of the proposed subsidy policies enthusiastically, showing that the Japanese people are highly interested in energy-saving products. LED lighting popularization not only for the Japanese government to actively promote the target, for those who want to enter or have entered the Japanese lighting market, the Japanese LED lighting policy also provides a clear direction for future development of LED lighting.
