Those new business lighting light source LED, cold / hot cathode, the rise of OLED

Financial tsunami caused by the global economic downturn, the lighting market demand for environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction trends and the development of domestic demand growth support, still vibrant. Not only the international lighting manufacturers actively invest in the development of new light sources, information companies also cut into the field of lighting technology. At present, the main emerging light sources on the market by LED most attention, is a large number of used in street lamps, outdoor, landscape, shopping, advertising billboards and traffic signals, etc.. But CCFL cold cathode fluorescent lamp used in panel backlight manufacturers, Wellypower in cold cathode area of Taiwan is now actively developing tube, and launched CCFL and hot cathode tube, HCFL lighting, LED lighting products, and products to the market.

Although the traditional T8/T9 tube due to production standardization, the use of large, competitive cost is better than other lamps, some manufacturers can afford to play on behalf of T5, still retain their views. However, Wellypower pointed out that compared with the traditional HCFL lamp, CCFL lamp, small diameter, energy saving, long service life, for lighting manufacturers, can be applied to the lamp lighter, not only reduce the material consumption, the design is more flexible, for general users, up to 2-3 million hours of life, more than traditional fluorescent light only 5000-7000 the average life, can save a lot of maintenance costs.

Wellypower currently has its own brand WELlypower in China appliances, general discount channel distribution, began selling the T5 lamp, lamp, ballast and tying related (starter) set etc.. Power union is expected, with the CCFL and HCFL lamps will gradually enter a large number of commercialization stage, the cost will be gradually reduced, the future for the traditional lamp, is bound to have some degree of substitution effect. Especially in the development of domestic demand growth support, the new light source will not be limited to niche market, and is expected to become a popular commodity.

In particular, the current LED lighting and heat dissipation problems remain to be solved, providing new lighting CCFL lighting and HCFL lighting products at a lower cost, a trend of rapid rise of opportunity. The main reason is that there are still LED luminous efficiency with the use of time and the rapid decline of the problem, LED lighting used in the lighting in order to cope with the heat, behind the huge heat transfer mechanism to take the carrier. In the design and installation of lighting, there are obstacles to overcome.

LED heat issues, but also provide another new light source - the rise of OLED lighting opportunities. OLED because there is no heat problem, and unique can be around, light, thin, transparent, can be a large area lighting and other advantages, including Philips, ORSAM, GE, etc. have been actively in the OLED lighting market patent layout. Not only has GE developed a soft large area OLED light source, Philips and ORSAM have developed more specific OLED lamps, is expected to be 2009-2011 years, depending on the market maturity of mass production launch. However, due to the OLED in terms of materials, production technology and cost there are still a lot of obstacles to overcome, it is generally expected that the short-term internal costs can not compete with LED and other emerging light sources.
