From capacity expansion to upgrade technology is the only way for China's LED industry

China win global LED manufacturing capacity most

Since 2009, Chinese LED manufacturing industry into the fast lane of development, the number of new LED factory, investment is large, the global industry attention. Not only is the local enterprises, three, blue and so on have Elec-Tech expansion or construction of a new factory outside the mainland giant LED also accelerated in Chinese, layout. A number of LED manufacturers in Taiwan area such as crystal power, Dingyuan and Cree of America, SemiLEDs and other global giants have set up factories in mainland China, many foreign companies even in different places China also started construction of a new LED project, LED global manufacturing capacity is to transfer Chinese.

SEMI according to statistics, by the end of 2010, Chinese has LED epitaxy and chip more than 70 enterprises (including construction), in the new LED manufacturing projects, most of them are involved in the manufacture of a core part of epitaxial LED manufacturing, and in the past this China upstream of LED in the manufacturing industry have a considerable number of enterprises are only engaged in chip manufacturing has a great change. In addition, from 2009 to 2010, the new LED project, local enterprises accounted for about 5, also from overseas investment projects, especially construction investment from Taiwan LED manufacturing LED manufacturing project, has occupied 3.

2010 Global MOCVD of new installed capacity, due to the LED backlight in accelerating the penetration of LCDTV driven, LCDTV manufacturing Korea incremental most, followed by the Taiwan area. According to SEMI statistics, mainland China in 2010 MOCVD new increments of about 177 units, shipments ranked third in the world. In addition, according to SEMI statistics and analysis, combined with the supply of MOCVD, China's new MOCVD in 2011 is expected to reach 4 of the share of the new world, while other regions of the incremental will remain in the same level or decline in 2010.

LED industry competitiveness is not only the expansion of production capacity, technological upgrading is inevitable

Chinese is the world's largest LCD TV production base and consumer market, is the world's largest production base of lighting products, in the field of manufacturing many other electronic products, China also play a similar role. There is no doubt that China is the world's largest LED market location. It is undeniable that China LED upstream manufacturing capacity expansion is an inevitable demand. However, we see that, in the high-end LED market, such as high-power lighting and backlight market, local LED manufacturing companies are still relatively competitive.

Current global LED industry is accelerating technological innovation, a series of new technology makes the performance of the LED increase, while the cost is falling, to greet the advent of the era of solid-state lighting.

AIXTRON and Veeco are active in the development of new MOCVD, significantly increase the manufacturing capacity and reduce the cost of LED epitaxial wafer.

High voltage LED products Taiwan EPISTAR launched in 2010, the high warm white LED luminous efficiency is up to 170 lumens / watt level, is expected to be launched in the second quarter of 2011, one solution to the past LED lighting is difficult to balance the color and luminous efficiency, for general lighting products of great significance.

LED manufacturing process, the emergence of some new technology makes the LED manufacturing process and yield were significantly improved, such as KLATencor, DISCO and EVGroup were introduced for high brightness LED products manufacturing equipment. The world's LED lighting giant Philips, Osram and CREE to create a cover LED manufacturing, application of the perfect industrial chain, and constantly introduce new.
