The new LED light source LED lighting Green Revolution

Semiconductor lighting (light emitting diode English, referred to as LED) is a new type of solid-state light sources, has shown the effect of energy saving in the field of special lighting, such as landscape lighting (neon alternative) 70% energy saving, traffic lights (incandescent lamp energy saving 80%). At present, the luminous efficiency of LED is higher than that of incandescent lamp, and it is expected that in 2010 it will exceed the fluorescent lamp, which is expected to enter the field of general lighting, which accounts for 15-20% of the global electricity consumption. The characteristics of low power consumption, long service life, in the global energy crisis, environmental pressure greatly, semiconductor lighting has been recognized as one of the important ways of energy saving and environmental protection, are growing at a faster pace to expand its scope of application of various. With the continuous improvement of technology, large-size LCD TV backlight, automotive, commercial and industrial lighting has gradually become the main application areas of LED. 2006 global LED market more than 7 billion U.S. dollars, with an average annual growth rate of more than 20%, the next 5-10 years will form a potential market of more than $500-1000. In view of the prospects for the development of semiconductor lighting industry is encouraging, in Japan twenty-first Century "light plan" and the "next generation lighting plan", the "Rainbow plan", South Korea "GaN semiconductor plan" the government plans to have started. In the face of the huge temptation of the semiconductor lighting market, the world's three largest traditional lighting industry giant PHILPS, general electric, OSRAM and semiconductor companies, the establishment of semiconductor lighting companies. A scramble to seize the commanding heights of the emerging industries of semiconductor lighting, has started in the world.

Strengthen independent innovation and realize the leap development of semiconductor lighting in China

China has become the world's largest producer and exporter of lighting appliances, China's lighting industry output value of about 160 billion yuan in 2006, exports $10 billion, but only 18% of the global market, big and not strong. Facing the rare historical opportunity, the development of China semiconductor lighting industry has Time will not wait for me. In June 2003, the Ministry of science and technology and the Ministry of information industry, the Ministry of education, Ministry of construction, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, light industry association and other units, the establishment of the national semiconductor lighting project coordination leading group, launched an emergency national semiconductor lighting project. After the implementation of the project organization and fifteen "period, power type chip and power type white packaging industry reached the international advanced level, light power and luminous efficiency can reach 189 mW and 47 lm/W respectively, the unfavorable situation has changed in the past mainly rely on imports of blue chip; including LED lights, lamp and other four major categories of more than and 140 new products most were developed successfully and has achieved mass production. 2006 domestic chip market share of 44%, 2001-2006 LED market sales growth of 48%, in 2006 LED packaging output value of 14 billion 600 million yuan. It has formed a relatively complete system of research and development, such as epitaxial wafer production, chip fabrication and device packaging. Expected in 2010 China's semiconductor lighting and related industry output value will reach 100 billion yuan.

At the beginning of 2006, the State Council issued the "national long-term science and technology development plan", "energy efficient, long-life semiconductor lighting products" was included in the long-term planning of the first area of focus (energy) the first priority theme (industrial energy saving), attracted wide attention at home and abroad. October 2006, the national "863 Plan" in 11th Five-Year "semiconductor lighting project" major projects started. China's semiconductor lighting industry is entering a major historical opportunity for independent innovation and leap forward development.

"11th Five-Year" national semiconductor lighting project, the target will focus on semiconductor white light lighting, emphasis on innovation, core patent breakthrough white lighting technology, to achieve major leap; strengthen the integration of technology, around the major strategic research on downstream products, joint research, solve the common key technologies restricting industrial development; the implementation of industrial technology the alliance and personnel training, base construction strategy, establish and perfect the technology innovation system and industrial clusters, enhance the ability of industrial innovation, the formation of independent intellectual property rights and Chinese characteristics of the emerging semiconductor lighting industry finally.

To promote the industry, University and research alliance to build a platform for semiconductor lighting independent innovation exchanges and cooperation

In the national semiconductor lighting project coordination leading group of guidance and support, R & D and Industry Alliance national semiconductor lighting project (referred to as the "alliance") was founded in October 2004, engaged in the semiconductor lighting industry by more than 40 domestic backbone enterprises and research institutes in accordance with the "voluntary, equality and cooperation principle founded. The alliance aims to "unite, truth-seeking, innovation, development", with the advancement of technology and industrialization of semiconductor lighting as the goal, to make full use of existing resources, through the establishment of the website, organizing various activities, explore the resource sharing mechanism, international cooperation in regional cooperation and global resources alliance cooperation, cluster innovation to promote win-win business model the upstream and downstream enterprises to integrate the references for the government to introduce relevant industrial policies, to achieve self-discipline, promote the alliance member's own development, enhance the international competitiveness of Chinese semiconductor lighting industry competitiveness.

During "fifteen", and actively participate in the strategic alliance of semiconductor lighting engineering research work, by hosting the "China International Semiconductor Lighting Forum and Exhibition" (CHINA SSL) as well as the first national semiconductor lighting project innovation competition work extensive cooperation between international and regional, promote talent
