Over the next 10 years, laser lighting will replace LED lighting

"Laser lighting technology is a world-class, disruptive new generation lighting technology, the impact and promotion of the industry will reach a trillion scale."." National people plan expert, Dr. Dean Li Yi in the city of Shenzhen light industrial technology research institute through matchmaking, Nakamura Shuji laser lighting laboratory introduced Shenzhen settled, means that Shenzhen in the field of laser illumination among the world has taken a substantial step. In the future, the lab, led by Nobel laureate, will play the role of "brain" and "think tank" in the process of laser lighting industrialization and become a "treasure house" of technology and talents".

Laser lighting will replace LED

In December 13, 2016, Shenzhen Light Industrial Technology Research Institute and Nakamura Shuji laser lighting laboratory were inaugurated in Shenzhen, Nanshan District. This is engaged in laser lighting and other industrial technology research, dedicated to technological industrialization of private non enterprise units. Nobel prize winner physics, blue light LED and blue laser inventor professor Nakamura Shuji served as laboratory director, is responsible for the laboratory lead the formation and follow-up operations.

In the eyes of many experts, laser lighting will be the next outlet of the lighting industry. "The father of Blu ray" Nakamura Shuji has publicly said: "the next 10 years, laser lighting will replace LED lighting.".

The efficiency of laser illumination is thousands of times that of LED, which not only increases the distance of projection, improves the security, but also makes the volume smaller and more compact. In addition to the field of lighting, laser display in projectors, digital cinema, television, stage lights, large screen stitching, automotive and other fields will have a wide range of applications.

The industrialization of scientific research results in its economic and social value is one of the original intentions of the laboratory. And the decision to introduce the village professor and his team, not only to pay attention to its top scientific research capabilities, as well as outstanding technical transformation capabilities.

"Professor Nakamura has worked in the enterprise for a long time, leading enterprise technology research and development, but also founded its own company. He has the personal experience of the application and industrialization of science and technology. This kind of research and employment background is appreciated by the municipal government and partners." Li Yi said, although laser lighting is still in the technical infancy, the industry chain is not mature, technically still faces many problems. However, the frontier scientific and technological achievements produced by Nakamura labs will be applied to the important semiconductor industry in Shenzhen and will have a huge industrial effect".

The lab will be the brain of the industry"

To promote the industrialization of laser lighting will be locked in the car lighting headlamps. "Halogen lamps are very energy intensive, and LED light is not ideal enough, and lasers with both energy saving and brightness will be the best choice." Li Yi said, once the reduction of laser production costs, laser headlamps will quickly dominate the automotive lighting market.

The creation of the village laboratory will accelerate the incubation of a new generation of lighting technology represented by laser lighting in Shenzhen, and Shenzhen is expected to become the vanguard of the innovation of the field of laser lighting in the world.

Nakamura Shuji laser lighting laboratory core team led by Professor Nakamura personally, including the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE) research backbone academician Steven Denbas, including many from the United States Silicon Valley, and attract a large number of local high-end R & D personnel, formed a strong international R & D team. The laboratory has established extensive cooperative relations with universities and research institutions in the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, Japan and other countries and regions.

Li Yi said, the next 3 to 5 years, Research Institute (Laboratory) professional personnel and supporting staff plans to introduce 50 to 100 optical, electronic, material, physics, mechanical design, precision manufacturing and other fields, to protect human resources supply project research and development, as well as reserve and training of talents of industrialization.

"Wide, introduction of talents, the laboratory built with international influence of the high-end R & D personnel training base and technology research base, promote the laser lighting technology application and development and research cooperation, and provide intellectual support for Shenzhen laser lighting industry." Li Yi describes the vision of the laboratory like this.
