LED lighting, Li Daozu grew in 2009

In the financial turmoil, LED in 2009 was inevitable impact, but the wide range of LED applications, the development of LED lighting is the growth of the industry depends on the strength of the year 2009. LED street in Taiwan and the mainland have been opening, LED factory actively involved in the new century eager for a fight, photoelectric (3383) has invested heavily in lighting, EPISTAR (2448) is also expected to take LED street, standard, set up R & D center in the lighting module of the system and the downstream factory billion light (2393), East Bay (2499) Wang Qi, (6168) and (3031) is also devoted to baihong.

The new century photoelectric chairman Zhong Kuanren said that in the new century in a downturn contrarian overweight investment, set up R & D center module lighting LED lighting will be neutralized, thinking from the system, and the integration in the LED lighting, from the upstream epitaxial way and began to do module, chip packaging is packaging factory OEM commissioned, the new century is equal to the integration of optics, mechanism, heat, power etc.. Zhong Kuanren said that the lighting integration, the new century is following the LED users see billboards after a niche development, including the chip after the move to the mainland production, and entered the lighting module of the system, the total investment amount of $3 million, is expected in the first quarter.

2009 LED lights will start to start, recent application of LED lights with the rapid development of the phenomenon in the mainland and Taiwan markets, due to the development of Taiwan ITRI LED street lamp specifications, is expected before the end of 2008 announced, Taiwan city has installed a small LED lights, 2008 to Taiwan in the city at the end of October to complete the 5000 LED lights tender the biggest. It is understood that the energy department of the Ministry of economic affairs in 2009 will also release a subsidy of 50 counties and cities, with a total size of up to 12 thousand and 500 LED street lamp demonstration case, the total amount of about $150 million nt. LED, street lighting case also take off phenomenon, a recent municipal government procurement of energy-saving lamps of the amount of up to 37 million 390 thousand yuan, the upstream epitaxial plant development as Taiwan, the chip supply still relies on Taiwan, such as crystal power, canyuan is also expected to eat, LED street market.

Taiwan Institute of statistics, in 2007 the global LED lighting market in Asia and emerging applications demand growth driven by $330 million, by 2012 the global LED lighting market will grow to $1 billion 400 million, of which architectural lighting and commercial lighting will be the most strong growth momentum, the most advantage of the present trend of Taiwan LED companies is the integration of components. From the current economic situation, LED is a small number of 2009 should not be a recession in the industry, it is relatively rare in the technology industry.
