LED industry in the downstream

In the middle reaches of the LED industry, there is no space for small and medium enterprises. There is no doubt that there are more opportunities in the downstream."

LED industry chain from upstream to downstream industry barriers to entry gradually reduced. The upper and middle reaches of the technical content is high, the capital input density is big, is the most intense international competition, the biggest business risk. In the middle reaches of the LED industry, there is no space for small and medium enterprises.

Small and medium enterprises certainly have more opportunities in the downstream, which is beyond doubt!" The experts of the national semiconductor lighting project 863 major special group of experts, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of lighting on "Zhejiang" reporter Pan Jiangen said, "Chinese LED industry is driven by the upstream downstream, upstream of the market to promote the development of application."

Behind the screen

From the World War II, the use of ultra small tungsten lamp as the back of the aircraft instrument backlight, backlight has been more than half a century of development. Today, people are familiar with mobile phones, digital cameras, computers, color TV and other digital products, must be widely used LED backlight display.

2009, China's TV production of nearly 100 million units, more than 180 million computer production, mobile phone production up to more than 619 million, which is an attractive cake! According to industry experts predict that the LED backlight notebook computer in 2010 81%, a new product is expected to achieve growth 4 times as LED TV, grew from 1 million in 2009 to 4 million.

At present, LED products are widely used in mobile phone, is the most important application fields of LED products, accounting for about 30% of the total market demand. General every mobile phone with 10-20 LED products were used in mobile phone keyboard, display backlight and camera flash on mobile phone. The permeability of LED products in the mobile phone market has stabilized, the future mobile phone with LED product growth space will be directly affected by the mobile phone sales.

According to Xiangcai Securities Research Institute TMT research group predicts that mobile phone use LED products to US $0.14, calculated each mobile phone with LED 12-17 products, LED products in 2010 mobile phone market will exceed $2 billion.

In the field of LCD TV and LCD display, most of the LCD panel using cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) as the backlight. Compared with CCFL, LED backlight compact, than the CCFL 30%-50% energy saving, fast response speed, image display performance is stronger, but also because of mercury free and more environmentally friendly.

At present, in the small size LCD panel has started using LED backlight, and the main reason of blocking LED in large size LCD panel is the price, LED backlight price is generally 1.5-2.5 times the price of the CCFL backlight. However, the main LCD TV brands including Samsung, PHILPS, SHARP, SONY, Toshiba and LG, from the beginning of the second half of 2009 to increase the use of LED backlight, large manufacturers of LED industry have been actively respond to the layout of LCD TV backlight LED growth opportunities. With the decline in the price of LED backlight, LED will be more attractive to the manufacturers, the penetration will rise rapidly.

LCD screen size is different, you need to use the number of LED backlight is also different, 22 inch LCD monitor requires about 100 LED backlight, a 40 inch LCD TV requires about 1000 LED backlight. According to Xiangcai Securities Institute TMT research group forecast, assuming each LCD TV display used 400 LED backlight, a backlight price of $0.2, the next 3 years in the LED backlight LCD TV, display the size of the market will reach $400 million, $1 billion 860 million, $4 billion 250 million, at a geometric rate.

HP is the world's biggest computer producers to plan 2010 years notebook product line "Mercury", has launched a variety of notebook computer using LED backlight; Dell company in 2009 80% notebook product line using LED backlight, 2010 comprehensive introduction of LED backlight notebook computer; Acer is transferred to the LED backlight technology in 2010; Lenovo has also launched a notebook computer using LED technology...... More and more notebook computer manufacturers actively introduce LED backlight technology.

The global flat panel display industry research firm Display search forecast of LED backlight penetration, LED notebook computer in 2010 will reach 144 million 60 thousand units, 70 LED back light source to each computer, the average price of 0.2 dollars in 2010, LED backlight notebook market will reach $2 billion.

Car LED: light money"

Because LED has many advantages, its application fields are expanding and the application products are increasing. At present, LED is widely used in automotive lighting applications. LED is divided into two major categories of LED and LED in the car, each car needs LED100 inside, the external need LED200.

Car LED is mainly used in digital instrument lamp backlight assembly display, its technical performance index and mobile phone and other consumer products like LED, but the consistency and reliability of the electrical properties of LED angle, color, brightness, threshold voltage and current optical, more demanding. The LED is mainly used in the brake lights, front steering lights, rear turn lights, side lights, rear fog lights and reversing lights, etc..

At present, LED is still in the front headlights in the development phase, the world's largest lamp manufacturer Koito automotive lamp company of Japan, Germany Hella companies have introduced the concept of products. TOYOTA 2008 Lexus LS600 parts of the world's first application of LED front headlights in the vehicle, the LED headlamp also became the world's first commercial LED headlamp. Then Audi R8 models
