LED industry how tight encirclement

Recently, the city of Dongguan set up a patent alliance LED, a number of LED companies to actively respond to foreign patent intellectual property rights alliance model. Not long ago, Riyadh photoelectric Limited company released the world's largest Ultra HD LED panel TV, and has independent intellectual property rights of the. Chinese LED enterprises have realized the important role of intellectual property rights in enterprise management.

As a strategic emerging industry in China, LED industry is facing the problem of overcapacity. Insiders pointed out that, compared with the problem of excess production capacity, China's LED industry lack of technological innovation, poor patent reserves more worrying.

Independent innovation needs to be strengthened

In recent years, with the continuous increase of China's government support and procurement of LED industry, LED manufacturers can get sufficient funds from the government. However, many industry enterprises face many favorable policies, but ignore the technology innovation, more international manufacturers of products in the same competition, restricted by the factors of the patent, many LED companies repeatedly rebuffed.

According to relevant information, the current global LED technology and patents in the field, more than half of the control of large international companies. Japan Nichia, TOYOTA, CREE, PHILPS Europe synthetic America Europe, OSRAM and other foreign companies have a large number of patents, almost the whole industry chain covering raw materials, equipment, packaging and application. In contrast, China's LED industry patent applications mainly focus on the field of downstream industries, including middle package, downstream applications link patent applications accounted for more than 60% of the total application, mainly to the application for a patent for utility model and design patents, invention patent applications accounted for relatively low. Especially in the key to the long-term development of the industry, the key technology is still lack of core patents. Obviously, the monopoly of foreign industry giants, seriously hindered the development of China's LED industry.

The intellectual property experts pointed out that the adjustment strategy to China LED enterprises, can be purchased through licensing, but must have their own brand; at the same time, the domestic enterprises to improve their own strength, cultivate their own patent talents based on scientific research institutes, colleges and universities, take the road of independent innovation, to break through the foreign patent barriers. Only focus on research and development, with independent intellectual property rights, improve the quality of products, in order to make the LED industry in China to get rid of the embarrassment of heteronomy.

Focus on research and development of talent

National semiconductor lighting engineering research and industry data alliance director Pan Dongmei said, only by the artificial core, careful layout, painstaking research and development, in order to make the intangible asset release enormous energy and eventually into tangible assets. LED is a high-tech industry, China's LED industry in the R & D team compared with foreign enterprises there is still a big gap. With the rapid development of LED industry is incompatible with the current lack of basic education of LED in China, domestic colleges and universities corresponding professional counterparts set has just started, LED personnel are still unable to by the relevant institutions batch transportation. Talent shortage is becoming increasingly prominent, which will undoubtedly restrict the development of China's LED industry.

At present, the most scarce is the LED technical personnel and marketing personnel, so the development of relevant personnel for the development of the industry is a priority. Committed to the development and production of LED street lamp power Dongguan Fu Fu Electronics Co., Ltd. chairman Huang Zitian believes that at present, the overall level of domestic practitioners and lower overall quality. Coupled with the lack of vocational training system throughout the industry, limiting the professional skills of practitioners, it is difficult to build them into the core strength of the development of the industry, it is difficult to achieve new breakthroughs in technology, new technology. In this regard, the company has established a perfect mechanism of staff training, LED training, and will reach out, and China and other well-known institutions combination. In the staff to set up the promotion of specialized, upgraded and other academic courses, for employees to improve the quality of education to build a good platform. This approach can be inspired by other LED companies.

Due to the lack of upstream core technologies, currently LED raw materials of high efficiency and high reliability of China's LED industry is almost entirely dependent on imports, high-end extension of chip production technology is the core technology of heteronomy, especially the upstream chip patents most by foreign companies to master LED. With the LED patent war intensified, the lack of core technology personnel will become the bottleneck of the development of enterprises, only to cultivate outstanding LED talents, the formation mechanism of effective training, to support enterprise continuous innovation, in order to break the monopoly of foreign patent LED, China's LED industry can not rely on people to achieve healthy development.

LEDinside recently released a report that, in 2013 China LED lighting market size of up to 32 billion 400 million yuan, the annual growth rate of 36%. Foreign market demand is gradually released. Although the market gap is huge, but the market access threshold is also increasing. China's LED enterprises in order to be able to stand in an invincible position in the fierce market competition, but also focus on research and development, master the core patents, training of technical personnel, improve product quality, to create their own brand of LED products.
