LED lighting cost-effective manufacturers actively layout Market

LED lighting market in the intense competition, not only the ratio of production capacity, technology, with the development trend of technology improvement, cost reduction, every $1 purchase price lumen volume (lm/$), has become an important driving force of the LED lighting market. The global LED giant PhilipsLumileds announced formally launched at the end of 2010 after the 6 inch wafer mass production, the estimated 2011 LED high power capacity will be more than 1 billion, and is expected to end up cold white 200lm/$level and early industry in 2013 to reach 500lm/$

Lumileds from 2005 by PHILPS (Philips) after the merger in 2007, actively promote the high power LED production capacity and technical level, the high power Luxeon products accounted for about LED products amounted to 8, with lighting, camera flash and auto lighting as the main application in intelligent mobile phone flash market share has more than 5, and enter the apple (Apple) iPhone4 (NokiaSiemens), NOKIA, SIEMENS and other manufacturers Hondar power supply chain, 2007 is the first high power LED import application in automotive headlights and LED lighting industry, is also regarded as not to drive growth momentum.

LumiledsLuxeon production line marketing vice president FrankHarder said that high power Luxeon products from 2001 officially released, lm/W is committed to enhance the luminous efficiency and the purchase cost of lm/$, according to the Lumileds development goals, the cold white LED luminous efficiency is about 125lm/W, is expected in May 2011 will reach 135lm/W in November to 145~160lm/W, warm white will reach 110~120lm/W; the lm/$will also benefit from the cold current white LED160lm/$, in May 2011 to 180lm/$in November, and entered the 200lm/$level, then the warm white light will reach 150lm/$.

Compared to the U.S. Department of energy (DOE) targets for Energy Star announced, I hope the industry reached 500lm/$in 2015, Frank Lumileds said confidently, definitely agreed in advance, expected in 2013 the price increased to 500lm/$, the U.S. Department of energy industry is expected in 2020 to reach 1000lm/$, the goal of Lumileds more positive, is expected in 2020 will be a leading industry to 2000lm/$.

Because LED lighting market entered a rapid growth period, how will the purchase cost and the existing light spreads quickly narrow, gradually become the LED factory in the lighting market competitiveness of key. EPISTAR chairman Li Bingjie pointed out, hoping to become the world's LED crystal electric lighting factory in 2013 first, the primary goal is to advance lm/$to meet customer needs, according to the internal crystal electric is expected to reach 250lm/$in 2011, LED lighting market penetration can be increased to 5%, and in 2012 leading to achieve the goal of 500lm/$, then the market the permeability is expected to grow to 10% in 2015, will increase to 1000lm/$, driven by the LED lighting market penetration rate reached 25%, and the gap between the cost of crystal electric to lead the industry in 3~5, massive attack LED lighting business opportunities.

Lumileds announced in December 2010 to become the world's first production of 6 inch wafer chip industry, and in the large size machine reached one million weekly production scale, it is pointed out that the current Lumileds capacity is based on 3 inch MOCVD machine, about 100 units, is expected in March 2011 will gradually increase 6 inch machine import, since 6 inch equivalent to 3~4 times 3 inch machine capacity, with 3 inch wafer can be cut into 3000 pieces of LED chip, a 6 inch chip can output 9000 ~1 10000 LED chip.

Lumileds pointed out that due to the high power LED production capacity, fast in recent years. As of 2010, the first precedent became the first high power LED cumulative shipments of 1 billion of the LED industry, but in the 6 inch machine capacity Dabu pills under the aid, showing "ten years of skill, once reached a" leap growth, it is estimated in 2011 production capacity will be more than 1 billion.
