LED sales are expected to reach $10 billion by 2010

LED itself is a semiconductor chip, electricity will shine, and the color of light emitted mainly depends on the type of metal chips used. Like a computer chip, the size of the LED can be very small, some even only the nail cap so big. And through the software programming, the lighting time can also be controlled. At present, a large number of football players in the field of information giant screen is used in this technology.

This flexibility in the use of the LED has replaced the area where some ordinary bulbs are not accessible in the lighting industry. Now, in many segments of the lighting market, you can see more and more LED figure. In addition to flexibility, compared with other kinds of lamps, LED also has the characteristics of low power consumption, high service life, and like other types of chip manufacturers in the material and technology progress of the chip costs continue to decline, and constantly improve the performance.

LED market research firm Strategies Unlimited analyst Robert Steele said that this will open up and innovate our new ideas for lighting.

For example, Canada's Carmanah Technologies Corp. attempts to put the LED and solar panels together to replace the sea buoy lights. The company also opened up the aviation market, the deployment of troops in Afghanistan and other places to sell easy to install runway lights.

This technology is also promoting the largest scoreboard manufacturer Daktronics Inc. developed a variety of outdoor logo products, some of which are also used in the New York Times Square (Times Square) and London Piccadilly (Piccadilly Circus). LED is also taking the place of the incandescent light bulb that has been used in high school. Daktronics chief executive Tim Changji Morgan (Jim Morgan) said, LED products more cost saving, higher efficiency.

Prospects for LED sales continued bullish

Right now, LED is the most widely used for mobile phone keys and LCD display background light. Secondly, it is used in automobile, building lighting and new traffic lights. It is estimated that this year, various types of new products used in high brightness LED sales will reach $4 billion to $5 billion, an important component of the value of $26 billion in the lighting industry. With the use of LED in the TV and even some areas of appliance products continue to promote, is expected in 2010 LED sales will increase to $10 billion.
