With an annual output of 3 million pieces of LED sapphire substrate material project started the end of the month

This month, Guiyang city industrial investment company with an annual output of 3 million pieces of LED sapphire substrate material project will be officially started, which fired the first shot in Guiyang beach of LED industrial chain. LED industry belongs to the new light and new material industry, the national support, is also one of the city's high-tech industry force. Municipal investment company official said, at present, the city's LED industry has just started, LED substrate material project landing, is undoubtedly a blockbuster". This project will break the foreign monopoly on enterprise technology of large size sapphire, make up the domestic blank, the formation of Guiyang appeal to downstream enterprises in LED, promote the accumulation of development of Guiyang new light source industry. Small sapphire global market according to the introduction, environmental protection, high luminous efficiency, long life, small size, which makes LED become the world's most advanced lighting technology. It is understood that the current LED lighting equipment is mainly used in road, commercial lighting and liquid crystal display. Liquid crystal display, notebook computer application rate of nearly 100%, LCD TV application ratio of more than 50%. In addition, LED expansion in the field of automotive lighting, stage lighting and other applications, expanding market demand for the entire LED industry showed explosive growth trend. As a high growth emerging industries, is expected to 2015, LED industry will exceed 500 billion yuan. City investment company responsible person, divided into upstream epitaxial wafer substrate growth, LED industry chain, the middle reaches of the chip package and downstream applications of three parts, the upstream LED chip link of the whole industry's output value and profits 70%. The sapphire substrate, it is the main material for the production of LED chips. It is predicted that the next 5 years, the global sapphire market demand of about $3 billion, and will maintain an annual growth rate of more than 45%. In addition, sapphire has high strength, good thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance and other characteristics, the new material is also an indispensable military defense industry, large size sapphire market annual demand of about 75 million. Technology was the monopoly industry is "throat lock" Sapphire market prospects, but the production of large size sapphire technology mainly by Russia and European companies monopoly. According to statistics, currently 70% of the world's sapphire substrate by Russian companies, and the other by the United States and Europe control of 30%. China has not yet formed the industrial production of sapphire substrate manufacturers. "Is an important raw material for the production of sapphire chip, LED chip 10% of the cost of raw materials accounted for. After the third quarter of this year, the world's top sapphire production companies have price increases, a direct impact on the price of LED chips and packaging. "Yuan Liang Technology Co., Ltd. technical staff said. Sapphire production due to long-term monopolized by foreign enterprises, resulting in Chinese LED epitaxial manufacturer long-term foreign enterprises by pressing. City investment company responsible person told the reporter: "due to tight supply, the world's two largest sapphire suppliers and Japanese enterprises signed a long-term strategic alliance agreement, not only will give priority to the best quality sapphire supply in Japan, but also to the priority supply in short supply situation. As a result, the direct result of the epitaxial film producer in Taiwan, the production capacity is not stable, the quality is also lower than in Japan, in high-end products can not compete with Japanese manufacturers to form a LED. "" upstream "to attract" downstream "Sapphire material because of long-term dependence on imports, China LED industry at a disadvantage in international competition, but also restrict the development of China's defense industry. Breaking through the bottleneck of upstream substrate growth technology has become the only way to promote the development of LED industry in china. "In this context, if Guiyang can mass production of large size sapphire substrate material, will enhance Guiyang's competitiveness, attract wafer manufacturer in Taiwan to invest and build factories in Guiyang, and ultimately the formation of Guiyang's LED industry chain. "The city investment company responsible person said:" if we can form the annual output value of 500 million yuan of the sapphire substrate supply theory can be formed each year about 15 billion yuan output value of the blue LED chip production capacity, more than 100 billion yuan output value of LED industry chain. It is reported that Guiyang ", LED sapphire substrate material of a project investment of 350 million yuan, with an annual output of up to LED for postpartum artificial sapphire 3 million, output value of 300 million yuan. It is expected that through 5 years of construction, the project will eventually form an annual output of LED sapphire chip size of 25 million, the output value of 2 billion 500 million yuan, reaching the international advanced level. Technology, patented technology and equipment industry investment company will introduce Yuan Liang technology, production of large size sapphire, sapphire crystal production of the original domestic breakthrough size too large, too long. At the same time, the project will take advantage of Guizhou's low power resources, reduce costs and form a strong market competitiveness.
