Yangzhou will have the mainland's first complete LED industry chain

Yangzhou News Network (reporter Wu Shengfeng) yesterday, Shanghai optics-mechanics China Institute and Yangzhou Huaxia integrated photoelectric company signed a formal agreement, the national high technology project 863 projects to carry out mass production of sapphire by China photoelectric. The school enterprise cooperation marks the key technology of Yangzhou LED industry and products have achieved a major breakthrough, but also means that the mainland first complete LED industry chain, and the first batch of sapphire production line in Yangzhou. Sapphire sapphire substrate material, is the most upstream of the LED industry chain (substrate) link, that is, to provide raw materials for the sapphire crystal industry. Because of the high technology, only a few countries in the world can grow large, high-quality crystals. Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Institute of Optics and technology is currently the only technology and product quality clearance, can provide commercial sapphire substrate materials R & D unit. In recent years, our efforts to build the rapid development of LED industry, according to the development idea of "cut in middle reaches, expand the application, into the upstream, occupy high ground", has introduced the optoelectronics, optical, optoelectronic, Huaxia Addison Pioneer Electronics and other more than and 10 enterprises settled in the city Economic Development Zone Industrial Park LED, initially formed a relatively complete the "LED epitaxial wafer chip package - Application" industrial chain, but the upper reaches of the substrate has not been a breakthrough.

According to Ceng Jinsui, general manager of China, general manager of the introduction, the cooperation with the Shanghai Institute of optics, breaking the bottleneck of the development of LED industry. Is expected in July this year, sapphire will mass production, then, Yangzhou will have a complete LED industry chain.

According to reports, the city is moving towards the goal of the national LED industrial base near, is expected to become the country's sixth cities in the near future, Optics Valley".
