LED lights in front of 1 billion opportunities

At present, China has the ability to purchase a car for 20 million households, China is likely to become the world's third largest auto market, accounting for about 6% of global share, after the United States and japan. By 2025, the size of China's auto market will reach the size of the U.S. auto market. 2002, China's automobile production and sales of 3 million 250 thousand vehicles, sales in 2003 reached 4 million 300 thousand units, in 2004 sales reached 5 million 150 thousand vehicles, China has become the world's fastest growing car sales in the region.

With the rapid growth of China's economy, the increase of people's income and living standards, also will rapidly increase of car demand. China's auto industry is expected to grow at a faster pace than China's telecommunications industry since 1990s. The automobile industry will be one of the most influential industries to lead China's economy into a new stage. New intelligent LED lighting automotive electronic products become dazzling automobile mechanical development almost to the limit, the combination of automotive mechanical and electronic technology is the development trend of international automobile industry, automobile electronic level has become the measure of the level of the most important car mark. The world's major automobile manufacturers invest heavily in the development of a large number of automotive electronic products equipped with new cars, so that it is more advanced, safe, comfortable and luxurious, while achieving energy saving, environmental protection, multi-functional, thereby enhancing its competitiveness. In the next more than and 10 years, the competition in the automotive market, in its essence, is the competition of automotive electronics. It is predicted that the total cost of automotive electronics products accounted for more than 45%. At present, advanced countries have developed and automotive electronics and intelligent products, there are a large number of production: the engine management system (EMS), automatic transmission system (ATS), suspension control system (TEMS), steering control system (ECPS), anti lock braking system (ABS), security the airbag, collision avoidance system, information communication system (including GPS, INS, ICC, AHS), and a new type of intelligent automobile lamps etc.. Auto lamp candle lamp from the original, to the development of commonly used incandescent, appear again in recent years new HID lamps and LED lamps. LED is called the fourth generation automobile light source. LED lights in addition to a one-time investment, with good quality, high grade incandescent lamp incomparable advantages. LED lamp is called a life without the need to replace the lamp bulb. LED electroluminescent phenomenon found in 1907 1968 launched the first GaAsP/GaAs LED (20mA, 20mcd red light) goods. With the development of compound semiconductor materials, LED has been developing rapidly, has developed a high brightness red light, yellow light, green light of different wavelength light emitting diode, the intensity is close to 1000mcd, and is widely used in digital display etc.. However, there are still problems in the application of automotive lighting, mainly in the performance of LED stability, consistency and luminous intensity. In 1990 the United States HP company, Japan Toshiba successfully developed GaAsP/GaAs red and yellow high brightness LED (1000mcd), the success of the 1993, 1995 Japan Nichia chemical company developed InGaN blue, green and white high brightness light-emitting diode (1000mcd), the two has a revolutionary scientific research for automotive lamp comprehensive LED way the road. LED auto lamps but high cost is not a major problem, the main problem is the quality problem and solve the quality problem of batch, and batch after the price will naturally be down, but can not be expected to fall to LED is consistent with the price of incandescent lamp. The advantages of the LED light source can meet the vehicle safety, comfort, luxury, energy saving and environmental protection and functional requirements, the lamp of high quality can improve vehicle quality, enhance the market competitiveness. We believe that the price of LED lighting will not become an obstacle to its development, LED automotive lamps will replace incandescent lamps, like the original expensive incandescent lamps instead of candles. LED lamp model and intelligent is the international automobile electronic products is one of the most dazzling. Automotive lamps are the eyes of the car, a set of practical automotive lighting and decoration as a whole. It can best reflect the quality of the car, the more personalized cars, luxury cars, the more attention to the design and quality of the lamp. At present, the international high-end cars such as new cars, Cadillac BMW, TOYOTA, Mercedes Benz and Ford have launched a variety of LED lamps with a riot of colours attract customers. China LED lights to the direction of the development of personalized art domestic first LED auto lamps in 1999 by the Shanghai Automobile Electronic Engineering Center and Shanghai Si Lighting Co. Ltd. jointly developed by Shanghai Volkswagen Santana high car lamp system certification. Since then, LED lights are slow growing, China's accession to WTO in 2002, 2003 car production growth spurt, the major car companies have set up factories in China, China Chery, Geely has the rapid rise of independent property rights of private enterprises, the development of China's automobile market pull LED lights. In 2003 we successfully launched the front headlights outside full LED headlights Buick Regal car concept. In the second half of 2004, the rapid growth rate of China's automobile, automobile market competition is unprecedented fierce, new style, new models continue to launch, accelerate the development of new LED lights. Shanghai Automobile Electronic Engineering Center and Shanghai Si company started to develop 25 LED lights in 2004, 2005 is expected to exceed 30. Of particular importance is the TOYOTA, GM and Chery and other vehicle manufacturing companies proposed 4 models of the demand for 7 LED signal lamps, which shows the LED in the steam
