To achieve the "pole vault China LED industry"

"China semiconductor lighting industry to the pole vault. The point is, how do we run, how to pivot, how to fly, and finally how to achieve a successful and beautiful leap?" Day held in Shenzhen before the China International Semiconductor Lighting Forum and exhibition, concerned so that the semiconductor lighting industry.

LED (light emitting diode) industry is a new industry in the world, with an annual growth of 30% - 50% amazing speed. According to the United States recently predicted that within 5 years the global LED market will grow from $3 billion 200 million in 2004 to $5 billion 600 million in 2008. From 2004 to 2008, the market value of high brightness LEDs or semiconductor based lamps will increase from $1 billion 600 million to $2 billion 640 million. In the stage of rapid development of the domestic LED industry is also actively seeking the market, in the face of huge cake to share enough share.

By material and technical problems

Due to the great role of patent technology in the development of LED and its unique patent distribution, patent transfer, licensing and disputes will greatly affect the future development of the LED industry. The core patent LED lighting technology is basically a few large companies of foreign control, such as Japan's Nichia, TOYOTA, Toshiba, Lumileds synthesis, American Cree, German Osram, etc.. These companies use their core patents, to take the same time to enter a number of countries and continue to improve the design of subsequent applications, such as the expansion of the scope of the layout of the patent network in the world.

At present, on the whole, China's LED industry technology compared with foreign countries there is still a big gap." That told a media when the deputy general manager of Beijing Changjiang Zhiyuan Electronics Co Ltd Senior Engineer Ding Chenglong day before, and he hopes the related enterprise "LED industry investment LED industry investors have enough patience, can not expect short-term profit, investors can not be very high technology equity, to concentrate on learning the technical difficulties of its industrialization as soon as possible."

In addition to technical patents, another factor that is troubling the development of LED is the development of semiconductor materials. According to experts, the current for the semiconductor lighting phosphors emit blue violet excitation epitaxial wafer materials of white mainly in Japan, the United States and other countries, our country silicon pressure, in terms of improving the electro-optical conversion efficiency, reduce the cost, also have a lot of difficulties to overcome.

A number of measures to boost industrial development

LED is emerging as a global market prospects for the emerging industries, to seize the commanding heights of the market to seize a battle, the world has developed a corresponding national development plan. China's Ministry of science and technology also led the national semiconductor lighting project in June 2003.

At present, the Nanchang University has successfully developed the international leading level and independent intellectual property rights of the silicon substrate light-emitting diode materials and devices". The results have entered the implementation stage of industrialization, the establishment of the Nanchang crystal photoelectric (Jiangxi) Co., Ltd., to achieve a small batch production.

In one of the semiconductor industry base in Shenzhen, a century Crystal Technology Co., Ltd. is called to create a national semiconductor lighting engineering industrialization base. According to the company responsible person, they will strive to use about two years to integrate Chinese compound semiconductor industry, the downstream industry chain, the powerful combination of complementary advantages, resource sharing, really build a China compound semiconductor industry flagship.

It is foreseeable that through a series of related industry chain gradually mature, LED industry to achieve the vault is entirely possible.
