"Four in one" take the road of Chinese LED lighting industry

The LED lighting industry has a huge economic and social benefits, and the countries all over the world attach great importance to the research and development of LED. Advanced countries from the technology first, industrial policy support, promote the standardization of the industry, foster consumer environmental protection concept of "four in one", to promote the rapid development of semiconductor lighting industry. This is a reference for the development of LED industry in china.

Ensure technical advance

LED lighting industry as a new industry, there are many major technical needs of research. However, the technical research, investment, long cycle, the risk is huge, not only allow enterprises to invest alone, the government's participation is also very important, the only way to promote the development of technology.

The U.S. Department of energy in June 2006 decided to support the 5 major projects are: LED lighting integrated LED floodlight, solid-state lighting products for general lighting with fluorescent powder, fluorescent powder system based on high light rate of white LED, organic semiconductor lighting device structure, durable and efficient hole light emitting diode. These 5 projects with a total investment of $11 million, the main source of funding to government investment, accounting for 70%, while the other is funded by the project R & D investment in the enterprise of 30%. The unit in charge of these projects are in the field of well-known enterprises or research institutes, including OSRAM, Ge, Kodak West where Scania Eastman and Standford international institute.

In the rise of the LED industry, Chinese companies missed the opportunity to overcome major technical challenges, many of the core technologies have been occupied by foreign companies, Chinese enterprises are somewhat passive. China's LED industry how to break through the technical weakness, the need for market parties to explore and strive.

Industrial policy support

LED industry has great economic and social benefits, many countries launched the relevant industry support policies, including special fiscal expenditure and tax preferential policies to encourage the LED industry development and investment, establish and improve the system of LED industry.

Japan is the world's first start national semiconductor lighting plan, twenty-first Century "light" program began in 1998, the project budget of about 6 billion yen, it is funded by Japan's Ministry of the new energy and industrial technology development organization. In terms of tax incentives, Japan provides that within two years of 2006-2007, enterprises or organizations using LED lighting devices to replace incandescent lighting devices, can get 7% of the tax rate reduction.

Since 2000, the EU launched the rainbow project, which is responsible for organizing the implementation of the EU research and development department, aims to promote the development of high brightness outdoor lighting market.

In recent years, China has also introduced a number of related industry support policies. Insiders pointed out that the government should consider more is how to maximize the effectiveness of policy support, to avoid waste of resources.

Promote industry standardization

Industry standards help to reduce the transaction costs of buyers and sellers, and create competitive advantage through leading specifications. A few years ago, the Japanese semiconductor lighting industry has been through the Japanese Manufacturers Association LED lamp product style and measurement standard, integrated in 2006 72 Japanese LED manufacturers set up LED lighting standard to promote the association, integration and formulation, promote the sustained and healthy development of the industry.

In recent years, our country has paid great attention to the revision of the LED lighting standard, the standard system construction speed is very fast, the lack of standards has been greatly improved. However, whether the formulation of standards, testing or quality supervision departments, almost have the same feeling: has introduced the implementation of the standards is not optimistic, the standard and the existing product standards and testing methods is not perfect, the real operation is still facing many problems.

Cultivate the concept of consumer protection

How to make LED lighting products accepted by consumers? In addition to government support in the policy level, the supply side level to reduce the price of the product through technological innovation, cultivate the concept of environmental protection is also very important.

Japan's new "green" propaganda in LED, the core of which is to educate people by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions, is linked to people's living and personal health. A lot of LED publicity can be seen, if the use of the LED light source / light, will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions for your family how many kilograms". Obviously, the public is more concerned about how much less harmful gas in his living space, rather than how much electricity will be consumed by the country. In this sense, people are more willing to pay for their own health, so that LED indoor lighting naturally be promoted and universal.
