Out of investment and research and development of China's LED industry in urgent need of planning

In the same lighting effect, led than the traditional light energy saving more than 80%, life is 10 times longer than traditional light source above -- as a new generation of green light in the world, LED with high brightness, low heat, long life and other advantages, known as the twenty-first Century most development of green lighting. At present, China has formed a LED epitaxial wafer production, chip preparation, packaging, integrated application of LED industry chain, but the lack of relevant industry standards, industrial layout and the research direction of industrial planning, leading to market investment focus on basic capacity, and can not really promote industrial upgrading LED.

Although the market is expected to be very high, but at this stage, due to the blind development of China's LED lighting industry exposed the lack of core technology, lack of innovation, market competition disorder and other issues.

In terms of output value, at this stage, the penetration rate of LED in domestic lighting market is only 5%, and the core technology relies on imports, and the overall cost is higher, which is a stumbling block for the further development of LED industry.

"The LED chip is like a car engine. Lack of core technology will directly restrict the development of the industry. "NVC Feng Qing said. It is understood that LED upstream chip production technology are in the hands of foreign companies in the hands of the slower process of localization of technology, affecting the development of the industry. MOCVD epitaxial furnace and related supporting technology is the most high-end of the LED industry chain, which is mainly dependent on imports, which greatly restricts the cost control of the upstream LED industry.

In terms of the overall level, China and the international first-class level is still about two years gap. Many developed countries and developing countries in the world are accelerating the development of semiconductor lighting technology and industry, technically, China is in the second echelon.

Blind investment and lack of core technology makes China's LED lighting market mixed, mixed. Quality instability is a common problem faced by LED enterprises. Some customers to buy high priced LED lights, even thousands of hours can not hold up, or even the quality of the traditional lighting. At present, there are a lot of small and medium-sized enterprises in the LED lighting market. Feng Qing said.

Is expected in 3 years, currently only do indoor LED lights of the small businesses will disappear, the main reason is that the quality of the 50%. Zhang Xiaofei said. With the international giants to enter the Chinese market, many domestic enterprises with a certain core competitiveness will face the risk of mergers and acquisitions, and the lack of competitiveness of enterprises or will be eliminated directly. "If we don't regulate the market, the future will be reduced to the point to do the wedding dress for foreign lighting giant. Jiang Fengyi said.

The industry calls for industry norms with the production, life, urban streets, such as the continued growth of lighting, lighting power consumption in the power of the increasingly prominent position. According to statistics, China's lighting electricity consumption accounted for more than 12% of the country's total electricity consumption, and an average annual rate of increase of 15%. As a substitute for incandescent lamps energy-saving lighting products market is ushering in a good opportunity.

The world's largest lighting manufacturer PHILPS has predicted that its 10 years of production of lighting is 90% LED, its huge business opportunities can be seen. Insiders pointed out that, with the continuous improvement of LED lighting industry, LED production costs to 30% per year rate of decline. All out of incandescent lamp time will not exceed 10 years.

In order to make LED lighting industry healthy and orderly development, many experts suggest that to strengthen the national guide for the local LED industry overall planning, the introduction of execution of the national industry standard as soon as possible, especially the demonstration engineering products industry standards, such as street lights, tunnel lights, landscape lights display, etc., to allow local governments and enterprises to provide products purchasing have a standard to follow.

Many experts believe that the increasingly fierce market competition, strengthening the next generation of semiconductor lighting technology research and development work without delay. At the same time, the semiconductor lighting core equipment MOCVD localization as soon as possible, to fundamentally change the high-end equipment to the people affected by the situation, to promote China semiconductor lighting strategic emerging industry healthy and sustainable development. As soon as possible the introduction of relevant supporting policies to strengthen the establishment and standardization of testing institutions, to avoid some do not meet the actual test results, improve the overall level of testing and credibility.
