Japan and South Korea for Taiwan Chinese LED fat Hong Kong enterprises in urgent need of technology cost reduction

The energy shortage, electricity shortage continues, the semiconductor lighting energy saving and environmental protection (LED) gradually replace the traditional lighting, become a major energy consumer market in the future of the new trend of China. LED market in the mainland, especially in the industrial core semiconductor chips and other high-end product market, the focus of Hong Kong and Taiwan enterprises to compete with Japan and South korea. Compared with Taiwan enterprises in Japan and South Korea, Hong Kong enterprises in the development and production of semiconductor chips are still in the initial stage, the urgent need to upgrade technology, expand production capacity, reduce costs, to crack the bottleneck of high prices.

Hongkong Wen Wei Po reported that LED products have been recognized as the world's high efficiency, lead-free, mercury free, energy-saving green light, the future will gradually replace the traditional lighting products. Hongkong branch of the Academy of Sciences, Cai Bozhenrong, director of the display system, LED lamp has a long life characteristics, the general life of up to 30 thousand to 50 thousand hours, an energy saving lamp is more than 8 times higher than incandescent lamp.

If the mainland has 1/3 incandescent lamp replaced by LED, can save nearly 100 billion degrees per year, which is equivalent to the cost of a Three Gorges project. Some people even predicted that by 2010, China will form a scale of output value of one billion yuan.

Along with the gradual development of the mainland LED products, the mainland demand for semiconductor chips and other high-end components in large quantity, but the Hong Kong enterprises Crystal Electronics Technology Application Development Department Director Zheng Yongsheng said that at present China's semiconductor chip and other high-end components is still in the development stage, has entered the market. This gives Hongkong semiconductor lighting chips and other high-end components of R & D institutions and enterprises to seize market opportunities.

However, in the mainland semiconductor chip market, Hong Kong enterprises are subject to competition from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan enterprises. In Japan and other high-end chip technology has more advantages, while South Korea and Taiwan are playing at a low price chip mainland market, especially Taiwan manufacturers, production has formed the scale, cost control, which makes the price of Hong Kong enterprises in the mainland market at a disadvantage.

Under the low price competition between Japan and South Korea's peers, the market share of Crystal Electronics has been squeezed. Zheng Yongsheng believes that the high price of the company's products, on the one hand, the company's high-end chip product line. In addition, the company's production scale is not large, there is no economies of scale, coupled with the initial cost of marketing and other costs, resulting in high product costs.

Zheng Yongsheng said, we have begun to expand production scale, in order to reduce product costs, thereby reducing product prices. The company is developing super chip group and other patented products, the product can reduce the trouble of the user's serial welding circuit, the use of different technologies to occupy the high-end market.
