LED hot worldwide into a hot spot for investment

Because the LED market attracted huge business opportunities and huge market prospects, this year has been the LED market moves frequently, because in 2005 China's LED industry optimistic about the market demand of about 13000000000 yuan, the current worldwide have stirred up a LED industry investment boom. According to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industry Association predicts that in 2008 the global output of white LED will reach 580 billion yen, compared with growth of 2.7 times in 2004. Because the luminous efficiency of white LED has reached the level of fluorescent lamp, therefore its application is from the original mobile phone LCD display, and the background light, over the car headlights, general lighting purposes.

In view of the increasingly wide range of applications in the LED market, LED manufacturers and investors are also recent moves frequently, and significantly change the direction of strategy.

One of the leading manufacturers Nichia LED changed the depth in Tokushima County silently R & D policy unique LED technology, and in the metropolitan area of Yokohama city construction of new research and development center. In addition, also the introduction of cooling technology has always been no technology, the company has changed the previous closed route, adopts the open policy, including the conclusion of cross licensing contract and has always been the confrontation between the United States and Europe enterprises, in order to obtain the European and American enterprise in lighting, automotive components and other related patent rights.

In addition Citizen also xiangriya chemical procurement LED, is expected to start mass production of white LED module of the world's highest efficiency next year, to attack the vehicle headlamp for market. Rohm company is actively starting from the component material, trying to reduce the manufacturing cost of LED up to 1/10. The company is currently working with Northeastern University to develop the use of Zinc Oxide LED, is expected around 2010 product.

While the domestic market, the Shenzhen local LED industry, although in 2003 when the Shenzhen LED enterprises is only twenty or thirty, but this year with the LED market is bullish, technology matures, LED enterprises in the deep "simple" and was the explosive growth, has achieved remarkable economic benefits. LED investment hot, Shenzhen, there are new manufacturers to join, and a lot of orders, the momentum is very promising. And in the country, LED is a hot investment, even conservative estimates, and now enter the field of LED funds are more than 30 million yuan per month.

Authorities pointed out that LED as the third generation of semiconductor lighting materials, with energy saving, long life, small size, safe, pollution-free, maintenance free, fast response and other characteristics. High-definition LCD TV has become a popular consumer products, and as a key component of LCD TV backlight has been used in the cold cathode tube (CCFL). LED is also expected to replace the CCFL backlight, the future led to the growth of LED industry hot spots.
