Zhao Jiarong: cultivate and revitalize China's semiconductor lighting industry

Since 1990s, breakthrough of semiconductor lighting technology, the application field is extended in instructions, display in the field of technology mature, has been widely used in large size; in the field of backlight technology matures, the market share gradually increased; in the field of functional lighting technology has just started, in the pilot demonstration stage. In addition, medical, agricultural and other special areas of semiconductor lighting technology in the ascendant.

In recent years, the rapid development of semiconductor lighting industry, the United States, Japan, Europe, South Korea, China's Taiwan region has strong advantages in different areas, the annual growth rate of global output remained at 20% or more. China has launched a green lighting engineering, semiconductor lighting engineering, semiconductor lighting technology has supported in the ten major energy conservation projects, demonstration projects, high technology industry technology upgrading and structural adjustment, the 863 special plan in the field of new materials research and development and industrialization projects, have a good foundation in research, initially formed a complete industrial chain, and has a certain advantage in the downstream integration application. 2008 China's semiconductor lighting output value of nearly 70 billion yuan, of which the chip output value of 1 billion 900 million yuan, packaging output value of $18 billion 500 million, the output value of the application of the product 45 billion yuan.

From the perspective of long-term development, the world's lighting industry is in transition, many countries put forward the elimination of incandescent lamps, the promotion of energy-saving lamps, semiconductor lighting industry as a new economic growth point in the future. With the acceleration of China's industrial structure adjustment and development mode transformation, the semiconductor lighting industry as an important measure of energy saving and emission reduction has ushered in a new opportunity for development.

Therefore, we should fully implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, focus on expanding domestic demand, economic growth, structural adjustment, improve people's livelihood, vigorously implement the green lighting project, to enhance the capability of independent innovation and expand the demand for green consumption as the main line, to seize the high ground of the future competition as the goal, market-oriented, with enterprises as the main body, to rely on the pilot project and to improve the environment as a means of constraining the development of the industry, the formation of a number of independent intellectual property rights, well-known brand and strong market competitiveness of enterprises, the key to achieve major breakthroughs on technology and industry on cross breeding, the revitalization of China's semiconductor lighting industry, to promote energy conservation, promoting steady and rapid economic development.

The following basic principles should be followed in the development of the semiconductor lighting industry:

Adhere to the expansion of domestic demand and long-term development. The future direction of the development of semiconductor lighting industry on behalf of the world's lighting industry, is not only to deal with the financial crisis and maintain steady and rapid economic development an important breakthrough, is the birth of a new technological revolution, the development of emerging industries, to promote energy conservation, climate change is an important way.

Adhere to the combination of industrial development and structural optimization. The development of semiconductor lighting industry, from the regional industry reality, focus on promoting the structure optimization of the traditional lighting industry, semiconductor lighting to enhance the upstream and downstream enterprises in the integration of resources and industrial concentration, promote the coordinated development of related industries, realize the optimization and upgrading of regional industrial structure.

Adhere to the combination of technology driven and demand driven. Semiconductor lighting energy saving industry should be supported by technological innovation and social demand. Follow the law, enterprises in the development of the industry and enhance the capability of independent innovation at the same time, we must strive to grasp the pulse of the market, and actively expand the consumer market, formed to promote technological innovation and market application driven benign cycle of market demand in the science and technology innovation.

Adhere to the combination of government guidance and market mechanism. The basic role of the development of semiconductor lighting industry should give full play to the market in the allocation of resources under the guidance of the government's macroeconomic policies, innovative institutional mechanisms conducive to the formation of the industrial development policy environment and market environment, mobilize the enthusiasm of market players.

Semiconductor lighting is the second revolution of incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp. With the rapid development of semiconductor lighting technology, wide application field, strong industry driving force and great potential of energy saving, it is recognized as the most promising high efficient lighting industry. China also attaches great importance to the development of the emerging strategic industries. I believe in the government and the support and efforts of all walks of life, China's semiconductor lighting industry will usher in a bright future!
