Looking back at 08 LED lighting applications

Looking back on 2008, can be said to be a bumper year for the LED industry. In the city road lighting, landscape lighting, full-color display, indoor lighting and other lighting field has a great breakthrough, its application was "hundred flowers bloom" trend.

2008, LED industry in the Olympic year

Is different from the previous Olympic Games, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is not only a global sports event, it is a grand meeting of LED technology. From Central Avenue to the representative of the Olympic venues (the bird's nest, the water cube, Pangu Plaza), from the Olympic Village (guardrail lamp) to the cultural square, from the general public area (information screen) to the main Olympic Hall, news transmission tower, from the Olympic rings to the Olympic Games in the picture, LED basically everywhere "situation in".

According to official statistics, including a total of 36 Beijing Olympic venues, the demand of lighting products amounted to 500 million yuan (not including the Olympic Village, Olympic Park and other public lighting market). Of course, such a large-scale use of LED is also due to its energy efficiency fully meet the purpose of hosting the green olympics. To "Water Cube", for example, the use of LED lights, "Water Cube" landscape lighting works throughout the year than the traditional fluorescent lamp saving 745 thousand kwh, saving up to more than 70%.

The smooth transition of urban road lighting from demonstration project to main lighting

In 2007 Tianjin University of Technology has completed 2000 demonstration area of about LED street lamp, the industry is also on whether LED can really take a wait-and-see attitude for road lighting. In 2008, LED began to emerge in Dongguan street, Shek Pai nearly 10000 LED lights and Shandong Weifang high tech Zone more than 10 thousand LED road lamps successfully completed the transformation, enabled LED street has identified Dalian Wafangdian City energy saving lamp project, so a large number of the use of LED lights There was no parallel in history. indicates that the LED road lighting demonstration project has been a smooth transition to the main road lighting, and presents a good momentum of development.

Domestic LED industry investment diversification

2008, China semiconductor lighting industry investment increased rapidly, from the upstream and downstream epitaxial chip packaging applied to related materials and auxiliary industries have great investment growth. According to the alliance national semiconductor lighting project preliminary statistics, in 2008 the new MOCVD more than 30 units, domestic chip production capacity increased by 50% compared to 2007, major chip manufacturers plan to invest in more than 8 billion yuan. Domestic packaging industry capacity expansion rapidly, a large investment in equipment, in 2008 China's LED packaging output growth of 10%-15% over the previous year, an increase of 20%-30%. At the same time, the financing channels for enterprises showing a trend of diversification, brings new changes to the introduction of strategic investment, risk investment, overseas listing, backdoor listing, mergers and acquisitions and other capital operation mode for Chinese industrial structure, Xiamen is one example, in 2008 became the first pure LED products listed companies, more established its important status in LED in the industry.
