China has formed a preliminary LED industry chain, the global photovoltaic industry will gradually recover, will promote the rapid development of LED industry; from next year, a number of core patents will have spent 20 years of patent protection, the more the industry played a strong stylet, so the industry to increase investment in the LED market.
At present, Chinas LED industry has taken shape four regions Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, the southeast region, Beijing and Dalian and other northern regions, each region basically formed a relatively complete industrial chain. Overall, a higher degree of industrialization of LED industry structure south, while the north rely on a number of universities and research institutions a strong product development capabilities. In this part of the industry, LED lighting industry, the most mature.
Blue / white LED technology is mainly monopolized by Nichia Corporation of Japan, China has not yet mastered the core technology. Although the majority of the market outlook, but higher prices and patent costs restricted its development. For 2003 and 2004, the blue / white LED to achieve technological breakthroughs and rapid completion of the industrialization of the time is too tight, less likely to achieve. Therefore, it expected to still rely mainly on the scale to reduce costs.
China has a huge lighting and industrial lighting market. China is now one of the worlds electrical lighting producing and exporting country. By supporting the 863 projects such as, China has initially formed from epitaxial wafers, chip preparation, relatively complete device packaging integrated application industry chain, now over the country engaged in semiconductor devices and LED lighting systems production scale enterprises more than 400, the package has been in the international market accounts for a sizeable share. Decorative lighting, automotive lighting market, the aspects of traffic lights, LED lighting has a huge potential. Currently, the market has not yet appeared high power LED, high prices have hindered the development of LED lighting in the area.
On a global scale, LED manufacturers have launched expansion plans this year, 18 this year, three safety photoelectric MOCVD equipment to expand to 33 units; however, the pace of expansion with Sanan Korean factory Samsung LED compared to entirely trivial. , which this year plans to increase by 70 devices breath! this move led to the German manufacturer Aixtron MOCVD full capacity, and raised its full-year earnings forecast.
Manufacturer of confidence from the LED huge market demand. CIC Securities electronics industry, Wang Haijun said it expects the global LED industry, the potential demand for next year is about 229.7 billion, while two-year supply of MOCVD equipment plant only 1.8 million units, corresponding to an annual capacity of 58 billion, far failed to meet the demand. Passed out in September this year, three optical information held in the new conference, the current tight supply and demand of the industry, the capacity to become the bottleneck of the three safety optoelectronics, there are downstream packaging business supply company quite criticism.
Insiders said that the current boom industry for at least the year 2010, there are times the downstream application market to grow, the industry is still in the early stages of development. Mobile phones, decoration, lighting and other applications are ripe for replacement demand, demand size backlight continues to grow, the demand for large-size backlight applications on the year just begun, in addition to the government level to promote outdoor lighting and final and the largest application market for household lighting.
Dimmer lighting Electronics expects, LED products is currently no other product can replace the semiconductor industry will grow steadily.
