China's LED industry: key layout of new white lighting technology

In order to further implement the "national long-term science and technology development plan (2006-2020)" the "State Council on accelerating the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries" and "national" 12th Five-Year "science and technology development plan", to accelerate the promotion of semiconductor lighting (LED) technology and industry innovation and development, science and Technology Ministry recently issued a "semiconductor lighting technology development" 12th Five-Year "special plan".

Promote industrial innovation and development

Semiconductor lighting is considered to be the most potential strategic emerging industries in twenty-first Century. In recent years, the world has arranged special funds, set up a special plan to develop a strict plan for the elimination of incandescent lamps, and vigorously support the national semiconductor lighting technology innovation and industrial development.

In recent years, China's semiconductor lighting industry explosive growth, the speed of integration of competition, but compared with the international advanced level, there is still a certain gap. Such as MOCVD core equipment and raw materials still rely on imports, epitaxial chip lack of core patents, test methods and equipment support, related patents and technical specifications and layout of industrial development lags behind.

In this regard, the Ministry of science and high technology development and industrialization department official said, in the national plan for science and technology R & D investment continued support and market demand driven by technological innovation ability of China's semiconductor lighting has been increased rapidly, the domestic power white LED device light efficiency over 120 lumens per watt, close to the international advanced level. Si substrate power type LED device has the core of independent intellectual property rights has realized industrialization, light efficiency more than 100 lumens per watt; indication, display and large size back light industry scale, energy-saving effect of functional lighting has emerged. 22 national standards and industry standards have been developed and published. "Planning" for the full deployment of semiconductor lighting innovation chain. At the forefront of technology, focusing on the layout of large size Si white LED substrate preparation technology, single chip white, UV-LED, OLED and other new lighting technology, high efficiency, high reliability and low cost of the core device of industrial technology, key equipment and key supporting materials such as home-made content; in the study of application technology. The development and function of innovative semiconductor lighting products and systems focus on the layout of the low cost, substitution, product development and application of semiconductor lighting innovation demonstration content; internationalization construction of open, public research and development platform; through demonstration and application, to promote the smooth implementation of the "ten city lights" pilot work.

Industrial scale will reach 500 billion yuan

"Planning" proposed that by 2015, the industrialization of white LED device light efficiency reached the international advanced level in the same period (150-200 lumens per watt), silicon semiconductor lighting, innovative applications, intelligent lighting system reaches the leading level in the world; the industry reached 500 billion yuan.

Deputy Secretary of alliance national semiconductor lighting project chief Ruan Jun said that the next one or two years will be a critical period in the development of LED industry, cultivate leading enterprises and seek international discourse will become an important part of industrial development.

Business confidence multiplier

"Planning" proposed that by 2015, foster 20-30 master core technologies, with more independent intellectual property rights, independent brand enterprises, support 40-50's innovative and high technology enterprise, built 50 "ten city lights" pilot city and 20 strong innovation ability, with distinctive features of industrialization base.

Guangzhou Audi General Lighting Co., Ltd. chairman Guan Chongan believes that in the international competition under the background of a "planning" as guidance, China's LED industry with many years of accumulated technology and marketing experience, can integrate research and development and design strength in all aspects, and lays the foundation for the technology to seize the two high-end market. "Planning" emphasizes system layout of semiconductor lighting technology innovation chain and industrial chain, to find the direction for the integration of technology innovation and application of combining; in order to seize the commanding heights of innovative applications as the goal, with technology innovation, system integration and solutions for key development, high light color quality, multi-functional innovative semiconductor lighting products technology research and system, pointed out that the key to the development of LED industry in China. Alliance companies are optimistic about the future development. Nguyen said the military, these development goals to stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit of innovation and competition, will further enhance the threshold of industrial development. In the future, the alliance will be in the standard specification, patent protection and promote the standardization of products and other aspects of the promotion of collaborative innovation alliance.
