Us SSL program: to promote the development of LED/OLED industry with national strength

Countries in the world and there is little league, such as the United States attaches great importance to solid-state lighting (SSL) technology research and development, and to promote the industrialization of the country, this is we look at the United States Department of energy (DOE) of the SSL plan the conclusion. In fact, the European Union, Germany, Japan, South Korea and other places have similar plans, such as the European OLED 100.eu program, but rarely as profound as the United states. Because the United States in time, money, investment in human resources and institutions are unmatched by other countries and organizations. The United States Department of energy as early as 2000 began to vigorously promote the development of solid-state lighting technology research, support a lot of R & D projects, made a number of achievements. It can be said that the implementation of SSL program in the field of solid-state lighting has made considerable progress. Why the United States so much emphasis on solid-state lighting technology research and development, which is based on what kind of consideration? In the current economic recession in the United States is obvious, the financial bubble burst today, the development of solid-state lighting and what kind of significance and role?

New energy + energy economy is leading the economic recovery in the US locomotive U.S. subprime mortgage crisis triggered the global financial crisis is behind us manufacturing "hollow", today, the financial bubble has burst, the urgent need to find a new lead the economic development of the "locomotive", which will play an important role in manufacturing industry. In the end, the manufacturing industry will lead the development of the United States in the future, we can meet the media and magazine reports to find some answers - new energy + energy economy will focus on the development of the object. U.S. President Obama's energy and environmental development plan called on the whole society to develop "cheap, clean and efficient energy". The Department of energy efficiency and renewable energy plays an important role in the implementation of Obama's plan, providing a bright future for America's future energy strategy. "LED is a promising field, we can save energy, we can also get economic benefits, create jobs. "Congressman Jeff Bingaman said. By 2012 the lighting cost nearly 10 quads of primary energy in the United states. Total energy consumption in the United States in 2005 was about 99.75 quads. A national solid state lighting application program can save between 32.5 and quads of primary energy from 2012 to 2027, other lighting technologies can not do this. Department of energy has proposed SSL development plan of the famous, dominated by the government and industry, the purpose is to create a US led efficient lighting market, through the development of semiconductor technology, production of energy-saving lighting products of high quality and low cost.

Based on the national strategy to promote the development of solid-state lighting technology personally believe that the United States this SSL program similar to the previous domestic "863" plan. In fact, the United States has been the development of solid-state lighting technology to enhance the level of national strategy. The United States Department of energy DOE to support domestic SSL technology related research, development, and demonstration of any commercial activities, as long as it can complete its advanced technology of energy efficiency goals can be, the main goal of DOE SSL research and development is very clear, that is the more energy than traditional light source of new technology commercialization finally. To improve the efficiency, reduce the cost is an important way to realize the great goal of the U. S. Department of energy on building "zero energy", currently the nation's energy consumption in 12% families from lighting, energy consumption of 25% commercial buildings from the lighting, the power consumption figures do not include the additional load caused by the heat produced by lighting. In the future, with the development of SSL technology, the improvement of cost and the improvement of user acceptance, the lighting energy consumption will be greatly reduced, and the total energy consumption will be reduced. However, to achieve all this need to go a long way to estimate, DOE deadline is 2025. Part of the United States Department of energy, through close cooperation between government and industry, to create a new comprehensive and efficient lighting products market, to enhance the quality of lighting environment, but also can achieve the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection. In the next few years, SSL light source will expand their living space in the general lighting market, replacing some of the lighting technology is still in use today. DOE's development plan will ensure that U.S. companies to the next generation of lighting technology to maintain a strong competitive edge. It is vital to realize the strategic interests of the future with the power of the state.

The United States SSL program to our reference as a LED production and application of power, China's investment in solid state lighting technology development of the next generation of resources doesn't conform to the "big country" status, especially in the development of the core technology, few resources in institutions and enterprises scattered, let Chinese development of future lighting we are worrying about industry industrialization difficult issues such as. At present in the country play similar role with DOE estimation is the Ministry of science and technology national semiconductor lighting industry alliance, but the present situation, union is still relatively scattered, investment funds are still very limited, unable to form a "force" to promote the next generation of Chinese solid-state lighting technology development and industrialization, the government is currently more China to encourage industrial development, industrial park demonstration from the policy perspective, the lack of core technology and patents for the current LED industry of little significance, due to various reasons, the current China in emerging lighting especially semiconductor lighting has been the emergence of a world-class enterprise, each manufacturer's scale, R & D and sales network compared with international giants difference several order of magnitude, when
