Semiconductor lighting applications are highly concerned about the fierce market competition

Under the dual pressure of global energy and environmental protection, the project of semiconductor lighting application has been paid more and more attention. With the rapid development of solid-state lighting technology, the value chain of LED industry will also be extended to various application fields of manufacturing industry, a huge impact on the social development is increasingly obvious. At the same time, LED industry in technology, patents, standards, applications and other aspects of the problem has become increasingly prominent. Recently, by the China International Trade Promotion Committee, the Ministry of economic information, China trade newspaper co sponsored the 2009LED Industrial Development International Cooperation Forum held in beijing. Participants in the LED industry in technology, patents, standards, applications and other aspects of the outstanding issues were analyzed and discussed.

China's LED industry has entered the stage of independent research and innovation, the formation of a more complete industrial chain structure and the integration of industry, University and research model, in today's grim economic situation is still showing a rising trend. As a representative of the new energy, LED lighting is to enhance the traditional industrial structure, leading the development of a series of related industries, the broad market prospects. LED semiconductor lighting technology continues to improve and expand the application in the new field, the industry has brought a positive impact.

But the national six ministries in September this year released "semiconductor lighting industry views" also clearly pointed out that, although the development of China's semiconductor lighting industry has made positive progress, but also faces many urgent problems: lack of core technology and patents, the industry overall level is low, the standard and the detection system has not been established, blind investment and low the level of phenomenon is serious. Deputy Secretary General Chinese long, China lighting lighting institute director of the Institute of Specialized Committee of semiconductor lighting technology and application of Liu Shiping in the "International Cooperation Forum" 2009LED industry keynote hope that leaders at all levels and the government in an active interest in the development of semiconductor lighting industry at the same time, should be organized, earnestly solve the urgent problems, scientific response to solid-state lighting the challenge, in order to ensure the health of China's semiconductor lighting industry development.

The rapid start of China's LED market has also been closely watched by the global industry giants. CREE announced the construction of a chip factory in Huizhou, SimELeds in the South China Sea to set up a chip factory, Epistar chip factory in Dalian, Nichia said it would set up factories in China as soon as possible. Global industrial giants to enter China's LED upstream chip industry, the domestic is still in the development stage of the LED chip companies in terms of competitive pressure will be greater. At the same time, the shortage of talents is one of the most prominent problems in China's semiconductor lighting industry. The entry of international giants will further aggravate the shortage of talents.

According to the research and development of semiconductor lighting industry alliance and statistics, in 2008 China's LED chip output growth of 26% to reach $1 billion 900 million, power chip industrial level reached 90lm/W-100lm/W, the research level of 100lm/W-110lm/W. In the preparation of substrate, epitaxial growth, chip technology, and so on to master a number of independent intellectual property rights technology, such as Si substrate chip optical efficiency of 70lm/W. Chip localization rate reached 49%, into the high-end applications, the field of domestic chip display accounted for more than 50%. 2008 LED packaging output reached 18 billion 500 million yuan, an increase of 10%, the product structure gradually improved, highlighting the proportion of products reached 76%. Small varieties, multi batch production capacity at the international advanced level, such as miner's lamp, landscape lights and other special needs of LED packaging products. Part of the enterprise power packaging level and international first-class level synchronization. But the domestic packaging enterprises annual sales of billions of dollars of enterprises only a few dozen, 80% of the enterprises less than ten million yuan, monomer size small. Applications, in 2008, LED application output value of 45 billion yuan, an increase of 50%. With the success of the Olympic Games and other major demonstration projects, China's LED application in the international financial crisis is on the rise. It can be said that our production capacity of the world's leading, technology has improved significantly, but has not yet formed an international brand. Large traditional lighting companies began to LED lighting transformation, such as the Ningbo prairie, Jiangsu Ford, Zhejiang brilliance, Ya Ming, etc.. More than and 10 domestic enterprises to become an internationally renowned brand products OEM (ODM), product design, production technology level in the world, products to the world. However, the independent brand operation and marketing system is not perfect, the lack of global influence of the brand enterprise.

National semiconductor lighting engineering research and development and Industry Alliance Office Director Geng Bo believes that while seizing the opportunity for development, but also to see the challenges we face. How to coordinate the relationship between the traditional lighting industry and the new lighting industry, how to cultivate the new application market, how to find a breakthrough in the application of general lighting and other issues we must face. Semiconductor lighting is a revolutionary technology, is a strategic emerging industries, with high growth and high drive. From the special lighting to the general lighting into a new period of development, we should actively face and jointly promote the development of semiconductor lighting industry.
