Lumileds challenge 2013 reached 500lm/$

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 Philips Lumileds following the end of 2010 manufacturers announced officially launched 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 200 cold white lm/$level and early industry reached 500 lm/$in 2013.

Lumileds is PHILPS from 2005 (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 reached more than 5 apple (Apple), and scored 4 iPhone, NOKIA SIEMENS (Nokia Siemens), HTC electric manufacturers supply chain, 2007 is the first high power LED import application in automotive headlights and LED lighting industry, is also regarded as the future growth momentum.

Lumileds Luxeon production line marketing vice president Frank Harder said, high power Luxeon products from 2001 officially released, lm/W is committed to enhance the luminous efficiency and the purchase cost of lm/$, according to the Lumileds development goals, the cold white LED luminous efficiency is about 125 lm/W, is expected in May 2011 will reach 135 in November will increase to lm/W. 145~160 lm/W, warm white light will reach 110~120 lm/W; as for lm/$will also benefit from the cold white LED present 160 lm/$in May 2011 up to 180 lm/$, and into the 200 lm/$level in November, when the warm white light will reach 150 lm/$.

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

As the LED lighting market has entered a period of rapid growth, how to reduce the cost of the acquisition and the rapid spread of existing light sources, and gradually become the key to the competitiveness of LED lighting in the market. 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/$to meet customer needs, according to the internal crystal electric is expected to reach 250 lm/$in 2011, LED lighting market penetration can be increased to 5%, and in 2012 the leading reached 500 lm/$the target, then the market penetration is expected to grow to 10% in 2015, will increase to 1000 lm/$driven 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 inches into the machine, because the 6 inch equivalent to 3~4 double 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" jump growth estimate light is the 2011 production capacity will be more than 1 billion.
