Market regulations of double awesome global LED lighting to high-end development

"In July 2009 Obama met at the White House in the United States 8 LED enterprises CEO, points out that can save a lot of energy LED lighting technology and new products for the future is exciting. At present, 22% of the electricity in the United States is used for lighting, and the promotion of LED lighting will be expected to reduce this ratio by 60%. Nanchang University professor Jiang Fengyi in an interview with the China Electronics News reporter said. Energy crisis and the rise of environmental awareness, so that the global LED lighting market continues to grow. Because the LED industry in technology and capital intensive in one, the European Union and the United States, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are Chinese area continues to increase investment, to guide the scientific research institutions and enterprises to focus on the development of LED technology and new technology of high-end products, to seize the commanding heights of LED lighting industry.

LED and traditional lighting gradually merged into one

Governments actively develop environmental regulations, prohibit the use of incandescent lamps. The introduction of traditional lighting giant LED new light source, accelerate the formation of a new business model.

Because of the global lighting electricity consumption in the total consumption of 20%, of which up to 90% of the electrical energy is converted into heat energy consumption, is not cost-effective, in environmental protection and energy saving considerations, LED lighting has quickly become popular technology and industry. At the same time, governments actively develop environmental regulations, in the interests of the market and regulations to stimulate the interests of the global LED industry showed rapid growth trend.

The advantages of LED lighting is self-evident. LED lamp luminous efficiency is very high, long life, its luminous efficiency can reach 2.5 times the fluorescent lamp, incandescent lamp 13 times. The luminous efficiency of incandescent lamp is very low, only 5% of the energy can be converted into light energy, and 95% of the electric energy becomes a heat wave. Fluorescent lamp is better than incandescent lamp, there are 20% ~ 25% of the electric energy into light energy, but there are also 75% ~ 80% of the electricity can be wasted. Therefore, from the point of view of energy utilization efficiency, the utilization efficiency of these two kinds of light sources is very low. Therefore, the benefits of LED lighting is obvious. Australia in 2007, the world's first introduction of the prohibition of the use of incandescent lamp regulations, the European Union in March 2009 passed the regulations on the elimination of incandescent lamps. Therefore, the world's two major traditional lighting companies OSRAM and PHILPS in recent years to speed up the layout of the field of LED lighting. Their entry to promote the rapid development of the LED lighting market, but also to speed up the pace of technological progress in LED.

With the rapid development of the LED industry in the field of lighting, traditional lighting giants hope that through the introduction of new light source design, lighting products will be more innovative. Therefore, LED lighting and traditional lighting two areas are gradually combined to accelerate the formation of a new lighting business model, which is very conducive to the rapid promotion of the use of LED lighting.

The formation of a situation of tripartite confrontation competition pattern

Five companies are mainly engaged in the production of high value-added products, technology has its own characteristics. Accelerate the pace of technological innovation, companies competing to announce the latest technological progress.

The world LED industry will have explosive growth is above suspicion doubt the fact that the face of the huge market opportunities, major LED companies in the world are increasing research and development efforts, the new technology has made breakthrough progress, LED lighting technology is accelerating the pace of innovation. Japan's Nichia chemical products following the June 2006 launch of LED white 100lm/W after December 2006, has developed a 150lm/W Laboratory for white LED lighting. In early 2007 Lumileds successfully developed a luminous efficiency of 115lm/W, luminous flux of 136lm high power white LED. July 2006 CREE developed a luminous efficiency of 131lm/W white LED, in February 2010 announced its laboratory data has reached 208lm/W, which is a landmark record.

At present, LED lighting industry has formed the industrial distribution and the pattern of competition in the United States, Asia, Europe's three largest region dominated by a situation of tripartite confrontation. TOYOTA international Nichia, CREE, PHILPS, OSRAM, the synthesis of five giant monopoly in the high-end product market, they use their new products and new technologies in the field of innovation advantage, mainly engaged in the production of high value-added products.

The five large enterprises in their products and market characteristics, Nichia and TOYOTA synthesis in LED development occupies an important position, has formed a complete industrial chain of LED, which Nichia in 1994 of the first production of blue chip, and has a monopoly advantage in the sapphire substrate technology patent technology. The United States Cree (CREE) in the silicon carbide substrate technology route to form a complete industrial chain LED, monopoly advantage in the patented technology. U.S. Lumileds (PHILPS lumens) is focused on the development of high-power LED, strong in the field of white light. Germany Osram (OSRAM) has advantages in thin film chip and phosphor.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that, in recent years, the rapid rise of China's LED industry in Taiwan, its chip production and packaging production accounted for the world's first position. Data show that China's Taiwan market share of more than 60% of the world, but its products can not enter the ranks of the first grade.
