Olympic Games, Expo to promote LED lighting market outbreak

LED lighting technology has the advantages of high brightness, long life, the use of advantages of energy saving, green environmental protection, is the new lighting revolution after incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp lighting in the history of mankind.

In the global energy shortage, environmental protection requirements continue to improve the situation, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and 2010 Shanghai World Expo have to focus on green energy as the theme, which brought a great historical opportunity to the development of LED lighting industry China. According to well-known research company ang Chi consulting (Sinotes) forecast recently released in the Olympic Games, World Expo, driven by strong, scale Chinese LED lighting market will be 9 billion 810 million yuan from 2007 to 2010 the rapid growth of 4 billion 850 million yuan.

2008 Beijing Olympic Games will be the Olympic history of the first large-scale use of semiconductor lighting technology LED. According to official statistics, the Beijing Olympic Games, including a total of 36 venues, the demand for lighting products will be around $500 million, which does not include the Olympic Village, Olympic Gardens and other public lighting market. "Green Olympics, hi tech Olympics and people's Olympics" is the "three big ideas" put forward by the Olympic Games, and the characteristics and advantages of the LED lighting is the need of the "three concepts". In addition to the use of conventional lighting at least 60% of the energy saving, LED lighting also has a long life, easy integration, rapid response, environmental benefits, easy control of light distribution, rich colors and other advantages. The "bird's nest" and "Water Cube" and other major venues of a series of LED lighting project has been completed, the "Water Cube" as an example, the venue by way of lighting cavity transmittance, is currently the world's largest membrane structure building LED landscape lighting.

For in World Expo in 2010, Shanghai ushered in the Expo Center for a new round of city infrastructure, stadium construction and renovation of the climax. As a new kind of "green" lighting source, the semiconductor LED lighting has been highly valued by the relevant departments of the municipal government and the leadership of the World Expo Bureau of Shanghai affairs coordination. At present, the Shanghai municipal government has formulated to promote the development of semiconductor lighting industry, promote the development of semiconductor lighting applications related policies and measures, including: semiconductor lighting as Shanghai during the "11th Five-Year" focus on the development of the twelve strategic products; the establishment of semiconductor lighting technology of semiconductor lighting project; will be classified as "special technology Expo" focus on the field; support LED lighting is widely used in World Expo. 2010 World Expo will be a major opportunity for China's LED lighting industry development.

The use of LED lighting in the Olympic Games and World Expo, its role is not only driven by the rapid growth of the city of LED lighting industry, more important is the role of. LED lighting in the Olympic venues, urban landscape lighting on the outstanding performance, will dispel the concerns of other cities for the use of LED lighting. Li Jun analyst believes that China's LED lighting industry will usher in a new peak in 2010 before and after the peak.

Overall, China LED lighting industry is still in the initial stage. The China LED lighting companies, the Olympic Games, World Expo will be a good opportunity to show the world its brand value, but because of the Olympic Games and World Expo venues for lighting technical standards and product quality requirements are very demanding, therefore, most enterprises lighting lighting project or by PHILPS, GE and other foreign power occupied. At present, China's competitive LED lighting manufacturers are still very few, Li Jun believes that the main reason lies in the following aspects:

1, China's R & D innovation and foreign gap is obvious

The research China (especially the integrated technology innovation) and foreign gap significantly, supporting enterprise development mature and industrialization of key technologies in the process of engineering and technical progress of integrated unsatisfactory. Enterprise scale is generally small, not enough investment in science and technology, lack of talent. At the same time, there is lack of effective and substantive cooperation. Semiconductor lighting industry has the characteristics of cross industry, cross sectoral, interdisciplinary, domestic R & D system is relatively backward in the existing foreign talent, decentralized funds, equipment, information and technology cannot be effectively shared, low level repeated phenomenon, in line with the convergence of technology development and product application is relatively weak, negative competition situation.

2, the overall industry environment is not conducive to the healthy development of enterprises

Because LED lighting products developed rapidly, technology is not mature, slow to develop related products quality inspection standards, industry standards and national standards, the formation of the industry in healthy competition. In addition, the country lacks the appropriate tax and procurement policies to support, lack of communication between the various ministries to support the project, national resources are not reasonable configuration, the China LED lighting industry competitiveness has been weakened, it is difficult to participate in international competition. Poor LED lighting industry environment is not conducive to the healthy development of small and medium-sized high-tech enterprises.

3, the size of the enterprise investment gap is too large

The formation of large-scale application market, the urgent need to expand the middle scale production capacity of the device. Although the involvement of private capital is relatively fast, but compared with foreign smaller scale, can not form a competitive advantage and brand. As of December 2006, China more than a dozen epitaxial chip manufacturers have put into production equipment MOCVD, the total number of 40 units in 2007, although about 15 MOCVD have been installed and put into use, but the number of MOVCD devices compared to other countries or less. The development of the industry needs the scale effect and stable and reliable mass production technology, the smaller will lead to higher domestic production costs, thus losing the country
