LED applications to break the industry towards a standardized and orderly

Tang Guoqing, director of China Lighting Association

In 2008 the LED industry can be said to be a year of harvest, in some areas such as city road lighting lighting, landscape lighting, indoor lighting, full-color display has made great progress and its application in "All flowers bloom together." trend. In short, the following characteristics:

First, 2008 is the Olympic year of the LED industry.

Is different from the previous Olympic Games, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is not only a global sports event, but also a gathering of LED technology, from the Central Avenue, to the representative venues (such as the bird's nest, the water cube, Pangu Plaza); from the Olympic Village (guardrail lamp), from the ordinary to cultural square; a community (information screen), to the main Olympic news, broadcast from the museum tower; the Olympic rings to the Olympic Games in the picture, LED basically everywhere related situations". According to official statistics, the Beijing Olympic Games, including a total of 36 venues, the demand for lighting products up to about $500 million, which does not include the Olympic Village, Olympic Gardens and other public lighting market. Of course, such a large-scale use of LED is also due to its energy efficiency fully meet the purpose of hosting the green olympics. To "Water Cube", for example, the use of LED lights, "Water Cube" landscape lighting works throughout the year than the traditional fluorescent lamp saving 745 thousand kwh, saving up to more than 70%. Therefore, the LED industry, 2008 is undoubtedly an Olympic year.

Second, the smooth transition of urban road lighting from the demonstration project to the main lighting.

In 2007, when the Tianjin University of Technology has completed 2000 demonstration area of about LED street lamp, everyone on the LED whether it can really take a wait-and-see attitude for road lighting. In 2008, LED began to emerge in Dongguan street, Shek Pai nearly 10000 LED lights and Shandong Weifang high tech Zone more than 10 thousand LED road lamps successfully completed the transformation, enabled LED street has identified Dalian Wafangdian City energy saving lamp project, so a large number of the use of LED lights There was no parallel in history. indicates that the LED road lighting demonstration project has been a smooth transition to the main road lighting, and presents a good momentum of development.

Third, China's LED industry investment diversification.

2008 is the domestic semiconductor lighting industry the rapid increase in investment in a year, from the upstream and downstream epitaxial chip packaging applied to related materials and auxiliary industries have great investment growth. According to the alliance national semiconductor lighting project preliminary statistics, in 2008 the domestic new MOCVD more than 30 units, domestic chip production capacity increased by 50% compared to 2007, major chip manufacturers plan to invest in more than 8 billion yuan. Domestic packaging industry capacity expansion rapidly, a large investment in equipment, in 2008 the domestic LED packaging output growth of 10%-15% over the previous year, an increase of 20%-30%. At the same time, the financing channels for enterprises showing a trend of diversification, brings new changes to the introduction of strategic investment, risk investment, overseas listing, backdoor listing, mergers and acquisitions and other capital operation mode for Chinese industrial structure, Xiamen is one example, in 2008 became the first pure LED products listed companies, more established its important status in LED in the industry.

Fourth, the traditional lighting companies into the field of LED lighting.

Realized LED lighting is not only the icing on the cake, the traditional light source enterprise is no longer as in previous years, take a wait-and-see attitude, but actively involved in the development and production of LED lighting products. Such as LED lighting products enterprises in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Ningbo, Shanghai Liaoyuan history of Ford Ya Ming and other traditional light giants have launched its representative. They joined to promote a healthy competition in the LED industry, and further improve the overall level of China's LED industry chain in the application side.

Fifth, 2009 LED industry will be more standardized and orderly.

According to the forecast, in the Olympic Games, World Expo Asian Games, driven by strong, the market scale of China's LED lighting will be 9 billion 810 million yuan from 2007 to 2010 the rapid growth of 4 billion 850 million yuan. In the case of weak markets in Europe and the United States, no doubt China's huge LED market to the LED industry has brought unlimited business opportunities. In addition, the National Technical Committee for standardization of lighting and semiconductor lighting technical standards working group has passed the 12 LED GB and LED standards for the delivery of electronic industry review. These standards involve upstream materials, substrate and phosphor, LED devices, LED module / component, to improve the semiconductor lighting standard system plays an important role in promoting the development of the industry, to play a role in promoting, to regulate the market to play a certain role to ensure. As a result, the expansion of domestic demand market and the promulgation of a series of LED standards will promote the development of China's LED industry in a healthy and orderly direction.
