LED lighting penetration of downstream applications to promote the development of new blue ocean

2016 China (Shanghai) International LED lighting exhibition will be held in Shanghai New International Expo Center on December 1st. The exhibition to create global lighting procurement trading platform "concept, attracted many domestic and foreign exhibitors professional lighting technology products, including LED lighting, outdoor lighting, LED packaging and supporting materials, the lighting industry has become the technology leader, to further promote the development of China's LED lighting industry.

With technological innovation and cost reduction, LED downstream applications to accelerate the expansion of lighting has become the largest downstream application market LED. The agency expects the global LED lighting market will reach $29 billion 600 million this year, is expected to reach $33 billion 100 million by 2017, the market penetration will exceed 52%. LED has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, long service life and so on. At present, the ordinary incandescent lamp consumes only 10% of the electric energy which is converted into light energy when working normally, and the utilization ratio of the LED lamp can reach to 90%, and the energy consumption of the LED lamp can be saved by more than 90% compared with the incandescent lamp. At present, China's lighting electricity accounts for about 13% of the total electricity consumption, such as the realization of all LED lighting products to replace the annual electricity saving of 350 billion kwh.

In recent years, countries have introduced a ban on incandescent lamp schedule. As early as 2012, the European Union, Japan, Canada has banned the use of incandescent lamps. Since 2014, the United States banned the sale of 40W, 60W, 75W and 100W incandescent bulbs. At the same time, our country also prohibits the import and sale of 60W and above incandescent lamp. With the lower price of LED bulbs, the future market penetration will further enhance. Data show that in October the global replacement of 40 watts and 60 watt incandescent LED bulb retail prices have declined.

In addition, LED has broad application prospects in the infrared and ultraviolet light. Infrared LED which is mainly used for security monitoring and sensors, security monitoring infrared LED can be used in the field of automotive electronics night vision system. At present, many manufacturers are actively layout of the infrared and ultraviolet light in the field of LED, OSRAM uses a specific wavelength of 850nm infrared LED can achieve 150 meters outside the night road detection. Ford developed infrared LED headlamps can help drivers driving at night when pedestrians, riders and other obstacles in monitoring. In addition, infrared LED can also be used to monitor the driver's driving situation, such as leaving the road to send a warning, etc., infrared LED monitoring will provide a more reliable vehicle driving information.

From the sensor field of view, this year, Samsung introduced a new generation flagship mobile phone LED uses an infrared sensor to collocation iris recognition technology, using infrared emission infrared light source LED toward the eye, even in the special environment, also has a high rate of iris recognition. Infrared LED can also be used for eye tracking system, which uses infrared LED emission of specific wavelengths of infrared light, recording the amount of light reflected from the eye, and use this information to identify the direction of the user to watch. The system will change the existing human-computer interaction mode, the user can accurately display the location of the relevant information, adjust the display or projection position of the scene. Future development of the huge space for infrared LED, market research firm LEDinside expects this year's infrared LED market size will exceed $300 million in 2020 is expected to reach $711 million.
