LED competition: "Spotlight" core technology

In 2010 Zhongshan in-depth implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development to accelerate the transformation of economic development seminar, South China Normal University professor Mei Ting speaker "semiconductor lighting (LED) industry development trend and development strategy of Zhongshan". He proposed that the "upstream" than "downstream" does not necessarily have the advantage of avoiding the "pursuit of advanced in pursuit of the sun", the only control in the area of the core technology.

- global giants compete for LED lighting business opportunities

Reporter: Global LED industry optimistic about future prospects, Chinese enterprises how to participate in the competition?

Mei Ting: the world lighting industry giants and semiconductor, the strong involvement of the LED industry, the formation of fierce competition. Countries have attached great importance to this emerging industry, have increased investment in R & D, to promote technological progress, the rapid development of the industry.

Patents and standards has become the focus of global competition. Mainstream industrial technology has been monopolized by the international giants, China suffered a 337 prosecution. The United States has the energy star to support industrial development plan, involving a wide range of. The development of the LED industry in the United States is characterized by the following factors: "outdoor energy", "Energy Star". Japan was the first to apply LED technology in the office, station, shopping malls, etc.. China is characterized by "road lighting first". However, China has not given subsidies for LED products, which is expected to strengthen the future.

Reporter: domestic LED industry is a kind of pattern? What is the future potential?

Mei Ting: China LED is the main seven semiconductor lighting engineering industry base, Dalian Shijiazhuang Yangzhou Xiamen are Shanghai Nanchang Shenzhen. Jiangsu and Zhejiang for the support of the LED industry is very strong. Jiangsu, Yangzhou subsidies LED enterprises to introduce chip manufacturing equipment, the government to fill 800-1000 million, half of the great efforts.

National LED enterprise more than 3 thousand, of which more than 2 thousand for application is two times of the package. Total output value of about 80000000000 yuan, the output value of the package is three times. Growth in the application area of 30%, packaging for the 10% (has been basically mature), so the future application of greater business opportunities.

Architecture, mobile phone and computer screen display backlight and home appliances accounted for 70% of the products by LED. Indoor lighting and other small current share of the field, the future potential.

- storage technology to strive for the future competitive advantage

Reporter: if we are now in some areas has lagged behind, so how to gain competitive advantage in the future?

Mei Ting: change the mode of economic development to the "technology reserve" as a strategic reserve. We reserve oil, we must reserve the soft power of science and technology. Japan will be eliminated as the GPT shadpw technology to China, two times the value, we also used as a new technology, we did a foolish thing, it is because we do not have technical reserves.

Leadership field also has boundaries, how to open, according to things beyond the boundaries of the system? Need study. I think the future prospects of photovoltaic industry is not as good as LED. What will be better in the future? Can we predict in advance?

To new products, do, must be forward-looking, to pre technology research and development, which is the realization of technical reserves. Although LED is an opportunity, but also to focus on other emerging industries. Science and technology reserves, one reserve talent, two reserve base and group. The introduction of talent, local talent can also be made. To create the environment for the growth of local talent. To cultivate new technologies such as LED growth base and large group.

- Zhongshan LED development to break the mindset

Reporter: do you think Zhongshan LED industry face the opportunities and challenges?

Mei Ting: Zhongshan LED industry opportunities are: LED has become a strategic emerging industry, LED is the transformation of traditional industries and emerging industries highlights. The challenge is: from the strength of foreign enterprises to send challenges, as well as the increasingly fierce competition with the provinces and cities in the future, must develop a more active industrial development policy. Zhongshan LED also need to break the mindset. Does LED have to be a light bulb? Does the car have to be the same as the carriage? The size of our stride determines the breadth of the future. Thinking set limits development.

Reporter: do you think the cultivation of LED and other emerging industries rise, whether can achieve the transformation of the mode of economic development goals?

Mei Ting: change the mode of economic development, to think about what to do, but also thinking about how to do. Knowledge is constantly updated, not to know how much, but to know how deep. How to pursue the so-called "advanced", but not in pursuit of the sun? Chinese was introduced into Japan Caixian tube technology is a lesson. At that time the introduction of things, a few years later, the technology is constantly updated.

What is advanced? What is backward?

Low value-added industries, high value-added industries (shoe, LED) = change the mode of economic development?

Labor intensive, knowledge intensive = change the mode of economic development?

, high-end low-end industrial chain industry chain = change the mode of economic development?

My answer is: not necessarily.

Each industry has the core technology, such as the Swiss watch, it is the machinery industry, but still strong. Different links have core technology, not to the high-end industry chain has a high value-added. Not necessarily upstream than downstream advantage, mainly depends on the core technology.

From the producer's point of view, change the mode of economic development and create = manufacturing.
