LED lighting market to accelerate the expansion of the domestic packaging industry differentiation is more obvious

With the government and the people's awareness of energy saving and environmental protection, and the progress of lighting using LED technology, LED is more and more used in general lighting applications, including landscape lighting, traffic lights, interior lights, miner's lamp, lantern, automotive LED lighting and LED indoor decorative lamp etc..

For example, the world has more than 20 billion lighting device using incandescent lamp, halogen lamp, fluorescent lamp, the lighting device is used to provide a lot of directional lighting, but the light source is the direction of the light use efficiency is relatively low. In the case of domestic spotlights, if not with reflectors, the traditional light is generally only 50% of the light efficiency. LED lamps can provide high efficiency directional lighting, the service life of up to 50000 hours.

According to the engineering LED Industry Institute (GLII) is expected, in 2010 the global LED lighting demand will grow by 15%, by 2012 the global LED lighting market share will reach $2 billion, average annual growth of 18%.LED high power LED bulb lamp, lighting and landscape lighting will be the main power LED lighting market. The fastest in 2015, LED lighting market share in China will reach 20%, driven by the size of the relevant industry reached $500 billion, China will enter the world's top three LED lighting market.

China currently has a mature lighting LED supply chain, including epitaxial wafers and LED chips and packaging, focusing on the large size of the LCD backlight, LED road lighting and home lighting applications. GLII estimated that in 2010 about 30% of China's LED chip is produced locally, and in the past five years, almost all rely on imports of LED chips.

2009 within the world especially China has been actively promoting the use of high-power LED lighting, high power and high brightness LED production increased steadily, despite the high power output of LED share is still small. However, the average cost of LED chips per year decreased by 20~30%, the brightness has increased by 10 times the speed of development, with the development of LED chip technology and accelerate the pace of mass production, the price is expected to continue to decline. Therefore, GLII is expected to 2011 LED chip unit lumen price will be lowered 10~20%. including all kinds of high-power LED, including all of the price will be reduced LED.

In the large-size backlight market since 2009 began, the LED and the CCFL backlight unit price gap is gradually narrowing, LED backlight unit price in 2007 is three times that of CCFL, in the end of 2009 has only 1.5 times of CCFL, so the LED backlight unit for 2010 will be a lot to grab the traditional CCFL market. Given the decline in the cost of key components, LED manufacturers hope that within two or three years of high-power LED can occupy the mainstream applications, and become dominant lighting technology.

By 2010 Chinese production lighting power LED manufacturers have more than 100 LED, high power quality production are different, mainly to nationstar, Jiuzhou optoelectronics, REFOND optoelectronics, Quantum Optoelectronics, Shanxi Guangyu, Zhongzhou photoelectric manufacturers such as lighting with the highest quality level on behalf of domestic LED devices the. According to the national semiconductor lighting industry alliance CSA statistics show that the National Star optoelectronics, Jiuzhou optoelectronics, Ruifeng photoelectric 2009 lighting market share of the top three LED. One of the first in Shenzhen Ruifeng photoelectric market. China Star optoelectronics pioneered the international PCB based high-power LED device structure, substrate materials, production processes and other aspects of innovation. By the end of 2009, the establishment of nationstar LED lighting division, began to engage in R & D and production of LED lamps, light source module LED application products, the official involved in downstream industries; Jiuzhou optoelectronics as Sichuan Jiuzhou Electric Group subsidiary, Jiuzhou Optoelectronics in 2004 to enter the packaging industry, 2007 expansion of the high power lighting business by way of mergers and acquisitions. Including 100 lumens per watt of high-power LED R & D, LED core technology and rail cars and rail LED lighting products research and industrialization. The present invention patent application has included a total of 90 patents; REFOND is domestic LED device package enterprises with only three enterprises in the lighting, focus on the development of core technology, Konka Group set up technical cooperation with many universities in the mainland and, eutectic technology, two, optical materials with high thermal conductivity the development, surface roughening Technology (currently can improve the overall product than the optical efficiency of 30%) and the color index of the products (currently the highest can do more than 95, far more than the standard 80 required), no spot surface light source, silica gel molding, ceramic product development and technology in the domestic leading level. Ruifeng photoelectric has become a global automotive instrumentation, car audio, car DVD, large size LCD backlight, mobile phones, indoor lighting, decorative lighting and other areas of the main supplier of optoelectronic devices. These manufacturers with LED lighting production accounted for more than 60% of the domestic market, the average gross margin of about. At present, the domestic enterprises in the packaging technology with the first-line manufacturers par, so compared with imported devices, power LED devices have great advantages compared to domestic lighting package, the price is in line with the products of Taiwan.

At present, foreign manufacturers mainly Cree and LumiLEDs represent the market the highest quality high power LED, and Cree are due to many types of products, high power LED variety of relatively complete, and because the production, supply is relatively stable and become the mainstream of high power LED. Currently CREE and LUMILEDS basically occupy more than 90% of the world's high-end high-power LED market.

And high-power LED production in Taiwan accounted for most of the market in the end product. Due to the high cost of high power LED Taiwan, accounted for the majority of mid-range products
