Wuhan, Optics Valley: LED open the first year of the new light source market

Backed by the "nine provinces" information hub advantage and the third national intelligence resources, "Wuhan China Optics Valley" never lack the development of new industry opportunities. The latest one, that is, LED (semiconductor light-emitting diode) new light industry.

On LED, called after Edison invented the light bulb, and a milepost type human lighting field of the invention. The semiconductor material which can convert electric energy into light has the advantages of small size, low power consumption, long service life and low heat.

LED new light source industry is the world's fourth industrial revolution is an important part of the force, the revolution of the new energy application as the main symbol. The new energy revolution is widely regarded as the main breakthrough to get rid of the economic crisis.

Different from the past, this time, Chinese LED industry in Optics Valley, including Wuhan, and the major countries in the world stand on the same starting line. Particularly exciting is that the chip R & D - epitaxial film production - chip preparation - chip packaging - application products, the LED industry chain, is forming in Wuhan.

Opportunity in hand, Optics Valley the "light" can be brighter? The test is the ability of Wuhan, Optics Valley, China to seize the opportunity.

LED saving 80%, "ten city lights" project to enlarge market expectations

If not for the financial crisis, has not yet fully mature industries such as LED lighting, will not cause people's attention.

Is because of the financial crisis, market prospects of LED industry behind, there is an immediate energy-saving effect, a strong stimulus to the market senses.

Compared with traditional lighting, LED lighting can now save 80%, the future is expected to increase to 90%.

People hope that the industry, with its advantages of rapid elimination of There is nothing comparable to this, the traditional incandescent lamp, creating a huge domestic market.

Nature, it has become the focus of attention in the industrial countries to stimulate domestic demand plan. With the Obama administration called many times but are minor, national semiconductor lighting office of the Ministry of science and technology Chinese was established a few years, launched the "ten city lights" project, to guide industrial development.

Which triggered a fierce competition in Beijing, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Dongguan, Harbin, Nanchang, Suzhou city. Ten city dispute, Wuhan intervention time is not too early, the pace of development is very fast.
