Taiwan: LEDforum predicted the future of the industry trend

Two day LED Forum2009 debut, today's theme is LED epitaxy, packaging and lighting market trends, will be for LED of globalization, and the development scale of the lighting market with detailed analysis, the meeting pointed out that now the needs of customers from the past to the brightness, cheap, gradually. For environmental protection, quality and comfort, the estimated future LED will be more demands of environmental protection, the price will drop to about 1.3 times the level of traditional lamps.

Today's agenda, EPISTAR vice chairman Huang Zhaonian pointed out that because the LED has high efficiency and has the advantages of long life, so it plays an important role in the lighting industry in the future, LED will lead to many new applications, and the use of new packaging technology and wafer to reduce the production cost, and enhance the luminous efficiency.

According to the driving factors of the LED industry, CREE Asia Pacific vice president Li Shiyi pointed out that the future development of the industry depends on the market for the LED luminous efficiency of acceptance, product quality and innovation and, in addition, plus the policy factors, policies to encourage energy conservation, help the industry continue to grow. For example, there are international standards on the LED solid state lighting, security, etc..

Ousilang Asia Pacific director Zhong Cong in the dielectric industry present situation and the future, the performance of OLED will also need a period of time, OLED will be estimated by higher order market to quantify market. And Veeco Product Manager MichaEL Lamarra said to MOCVD equipment manufacturers, CCFL LED backlight to replace more and more, the application of lighting products is also growing, estimation of LED package in the next 6 years the cost will be decreased by 85%, LED factory need to reduce operating costs and increase output.

For high power ultraviolet LED application development, SemiLEDs general manager Dr. Chen Changan said that the future development of the chip, will emphasize higher efficiency, while reducing costs. In the end consumer applications, PHILPS lighting Alvin vice president of Asia Tse said, LED has the advantages of low maintenance cost, and from the general store, Home Furnishing lighting decoration, office lighting and lighting industry with different needs, introduced LED lamps with different specifications and the future trend of improvement.

Billion light global business Deputy General Stephan Greiner analysis of the global lighting market, lighting market is mainly concentrated in the Asia Pacific region, accounting for about 33.7% of the global market, in North America, accounting for about 30.1%, followed by 22.3% in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East accounted for about 5.1%, about 4.5% of the estimated global market size of about 8 billion 500 million dollars, in the application of products, mainly family oriented, accounting for about 39%, followed by the medical office and the euro 18%, the third largest market for outdoor lighting, about 12%.

Stephan Greiner said that the outdoor lighting market has considerable room for growth, especially China a rapidly growing market, has accounted for 38% of the world LED outdoor lighting market, surpassing North America 33.3%.

The seminar also invited to the industry heavyweight participants, "the national energy policy to push up the new situation of" LED lighting agenda, speakers included ITRI director Dr. Zhan Yiren, Deputy Secretary General of China national semiconductor lighting engineering research and Industry Alliance chairman Ruan Jun, EPISTAR chairman Dr. Li Bingjie, Lite on technology apex Lighting Department the general manager Dr. Wu Xiangrui Cree, vice president of Asia Pacific Li Shiyi et al.
