Optics Valley Wuhan microelectronics investment 1 billion yuan to introduce LED core technology

Led in the global industrial chain, China enterprises in the middle and lower end industry dilemma may be reversed. Reporters learned yesterday from the East Lake hi tech Zone, Optics Valley, a company will introduce LED core technology from abroad, in order to fill the gaps in the field of domestic new light source core technology.

The introduction of LED technology is the core of Wuhan Optics Valley electronic Limited by Share Ltd. Last weekend, the company signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Japan's INTERTEC corporation. INTERTEC Corporation is the vice president of the semiconductor industry association, Japan, in the LED core technology has a number of patents.

According to the agreement, Optics Valley will cooperate with INTERTEC Microelectronics Corporation set up a joint venture company, the Japanese side is responsible for providing related processing technology of LED chip and its advanced equipment, we provide land and part of the funds, the establishment of the joint project preparatory working group and promote the joint venture to enter the capital market.

In addition, the two sides will cooperate to build high-end LED chip production base in China, is expected to total investment will reach 1 billion yuan. The introduction of this project will fill the gaps in the domestic LED chip production of blue band core technology. Optics Valley microelectronics chairman Kuang Yuanping said.

He explained that the domestic LED industry affected by the policy, the market is currently developing rapidly. However, LED upstream core technology and patents are not in China, domestic LED epitaxial materials, chips in the low - based, more than 80% of the power LED chips, devices rely on imports. The composition of the entire LED industry chain, LED epitaxial chips and chips accounted for about 70% of the industry's profits, LED packaging accounted for about 10% -, LED applications accounted for about - 20%. More than 70% of China's LED industry concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of the industry, is the thinnest part of the profits. An introduction to the industry.

LED is the abbreviation of light emitting diode, compared to the traditional light source, LED small size, low power consumption, high brightness, low heat, long service life. At present, the Shanghai expo hall indoor lighting about 80% using LED green light source, than ordinary incandescent power saving about 90%.

Optics Valley is the gathering area of the LED industry in Wuhan, Foxconn, and so on, the source of a number of enterprises in R & D and production. East Lake high tech Zone relevant responsible person, Optics Valley new light industry has been formed, with the introduction of the core technology, 4 years is expected to achieve 5 billion yuan of industrial scale, the formation of a 2-3 output value of 1 billion yuan of new light source group, 5-8 value of the enterprise.
