Pearl River Delta: LED industry needs strategic integration to grasp the right to speak

Recently, Guangzhou hongliguang Electronic Co. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hongli") joined the alliance strategy of the Provincial Department of research of semiconductor lighting project has just been formed "(hereinafter referred to as the" alliance "), which specializes in LED light source packaging enterprises, research strength in cooperation with the alliance department, will serve as an important strategic direction the future.

Since 2002, LED introduced the concept of Chinese as general lighting market, has become a key industry to subvert the traditional lighting, the formation of Shanghai, Dalian, Nanchang, Xiamen, Shenzhen and other industrial base, radiation Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, Delta and north area of fujian.

As the market has the obvious advantage of the Pearl River Delta, the industry has been unable to break through the bottleneck of LED scale and technology, stragglers and disbanded soldiers style combat mode, which has lagged behind other regional industrial competitiveness. The establishment of the alliance, the industry was interpreted as the beginning of the integration of the LED industry resources in the region, the Pearl River Delta LED industry or will thus break the bottleneck, into the development of the fast lane.

Technology integration to seize the commanding heights

In fact, not only is the Pearl River Delta, China is generally a serious disconnect between research and industry. "The board of directors, Guangzhou hongliguang Electronic Co Ltd technical director Pei Xiaoming believes that a scientific research institutions only focus on the development, lack of rapid conversion of restriction mechanism; on the other hand the enterprise by the technology, experience, talent, even when encountered in the production technology related phenomenon, also cannot be summarized as the theory, up to research level. The value of the two sides of the dislocation, making the road between technology and industry gradually become longer, and for emerging high-tech industries such as LED, technology is the cornerstone of the transformation of productive forces, to seize the commanding heights of the industry.

It is understood that many patents related to the LED industry involved in the upstream epitaxial wafer LED, chip production, the United States, Japan, the EU still has a huge technological advantage. At present, the United States International Trade Commission has started to include China's LED enterprises, "337" patent investigation and application of a general exclusion order and injunction, and the need to avoid key technology vendors, will result in the loss of market opportunities.

Experts pointed out that the core of LED general lighting is blue and white core patent patent patent, which is the key problem of the Chinese industry, the lack of core patents, LED general lighting domestic implementation of the strategy of "going out", will be placed in a dynamic situation. In view of this, the Pearl River Delta region, the need for scientific and technological docking between enterprises and research institutions increasingly high voice.

An industry that, although Guangdong is an important production base of traditional lighting industry, and has Zhongshan Ancient Town and other regional brands, but in new product development is weak and scattered, the cooperation mechanism is not perfect, the enterprise independent innovation ability is insufficient, it is difficult to form the overall competitiveness of industry, its influence has begun to lag behind the other LED industry cluster, therefore scientific research units should establish authorization mechanism and technological achievements, accelerate the industrialization speed.

The reporter learned from the alliance: "the essence of joint alliance will achieve integration of complementary advantages, universities and enterprises, accelerate the development of semiconductor lighting industry in Guangdong, for a number of invention patents, patent alliance construction, in order to obtain a number of independent intellectual property rights, to cope with the international LED giants" encirclement".

As for the "Hongli", "alliance" is more practical is the role of industry application, R & D Pei Xiaoming, given the huge market of general lighting, "hung lee" will pay more attention to the indoor installation of LED Application module, and its position in the key technology to research, but due to the lack of relevant scientific research equipment, research and development the experience of cooperation with scientific research institutions, is an important strategic direction of the future.

Scale integration of the right to speak

Although China's LED industry in the production technology behind the international advanced level, but the application of domestic demand for large, to LED downstream manufacturers to bring tremendous opportunities for development, only the Guangdong market LED the amount already occupy half of the country. For emerging industries, high-tech will directly drive the rapid expansion of production capacity, which is eager to grow the Pearl River Delta LED companies dream of.

Pei Xiaoming in the Warring States feudal rule metaphor current industry situation of LED, because of the huge space for development, so many international lighting giant, have been fully engaged, such as PHILPS, OSRAM, GE, China to existing enterprise scale, can not be achieved if the rapid growth of the industrial scale, will soon be lost in the industry the right to speak, and then was destroyed".

Wu Ling, director of the Ministry of science and technology, said the national semiconductor lighting, large international companies generally through the vertical, that is, through mergers and acquisitions to achieve rapid integration of global marketing strategy integration. Taiwan enterprises by large scale manufacturing, industrial agglomeration and manufacturing advantages, through the cross, by mutual benefit shares reorganization, merger of similar enterprises, the rapid formation of huge production scale and quickly seize market share.

Vertical and horizontal, Chinese enterprises how to attack?

It is understood that the Jiangsu province for the development of semiconductor lighting industry to seize the opportunity, in 2004 has already started planning the integration of resources within the province, will focus on the implementation of the semiconductor lighting industry into the "fifteen" period of science and technology, the establishment of special funds for science and technology in the year, for research and industrial development of the semiconductor lighting project.

In Jiangxi, the introduction of market mechanisms and the chief expert system, technical public relations, to replace the research group item company,
