LED lighting price increase will usher in a price reduction boom

LED lighting application is coming, but the price decline rate has become an important threshold, LED epitaxial plant canyuan chairman Jane tomoto said, in the past IT industry accustomed to a breakthrough in technology, therefore, focus on improving the luminous efficiency of lm/W lighting, and Dachang thinking has changed the development trend, through the shortcut to improve driving current, quickly reduce the cost of LED lighting, the price (lm/$) was significantly improved, canyuan is expected in 2011 will reach 300 lm/$level.

With LED TV the poor market conditions, LED industry in 2011 more actively explore the lighting market, crystal electric chairman Li Bingjie said, the United States Department of energy (DOE) in 2015 is expected to reach 500 lm/$, the original crystal electric confident as early as 2013, but the lighting manufacturers target more positive, hope ahead in 2012 the first to reach a solution, the method is to match the price, this is also expected to promote the LED lighting market in early fermentation, and grabbed an city.

Compared to the standard DOE planning industry in 2011 reached 100 lm/$, PHILPS Lumileds at the beginning of 2011 planning, is expected to raise price to 200lm/$at the end of the year, crystal electric also expects to reach 250 in 2011 lm/$price target, Jane tomoto further said, canyuan will advance in 2011 reached 300 lm/$, the price performance of the cost of LED lighting more in advance.

Jane tomoto pointed out that the current LED industry is far more than DOE of the original planning performance in lm/$, the main way is through improving the driving current, improve the lumens, LED Cree and Lumileds have manufacturers used in this way, but the drawback is likely to lead to LED lighting application demands such advantages will increase power consumption, making the reduced the effectiveness of energy saving.

Jane tomoto said, but compared with the rapid progress of lm/$, since the first half of 2011, the industry to enhance the speed luminous efficiency is slow, the luminous efficiency of the encapsulated remained at 120~130 m/W, and in 2015, the industry will still miss the goal of DOE, he believes that the current LED industry shift from subject = effect of lighting manufacturers, the industry focus on the past luminous efficiency, now IT industry to change the thinking, through improving the driving current, the lighting is LED in the early promotion, to enhance the rapid lm/$shortcut will help popularize accelerate the LED lighting market, the rapid price to create new markets, and promote the consumer acceptance of new LED lighting applications.

Jane tomoto said that in 2011 the growth performance lighting market will exceed the backlight market, LED lighting will be from the second quarter revenue accounted for about 18%, to the end of the year increased to 25%, and strengthen in mainland China LED lighting market layout, to crystal electric and global lighting brands are jointly developed a new kind of machine. LED lighting, 2011~2012 years is expected the proportion will reach 25%~30%, and in 2013 reached LED lighting shipments reached 100 million a goal.
