Patent challenges into the high threshold of LED lighting industry

High-tech industry technology once in the market off stage, patent World War followed, the recent visible intelligent mobile phone, tablet computer manufacturers patent war between causing concern, in fact, is the LED lighting market is growing rapidly, there are people within the industry will notice, and Japan Nichia billion light factory the battle is just the opening ceremony, the patent war fighting ability has become the LED lighting industry high barriers to entry.

In terms of patents, Europe, the United States, Japan and other LED international manufacturers have built a global patent network, between each other is to take the form of mutual authorization to reach mutual understanding without interference. Taiwan manufacturers because there is no market chips in a relatively unfavorable position.

LED lighting environmental protection and energy saving, including semiconductor and panel maker TSMC, Samsung, AUO also launched LED lighting layout; traditional lighting factory including PHILPS, OSRAM, GE and LED; new participants Chinese latecomers in mainland China and India, is a leading enterprise of state support rapidly closer to LED lighting.

The competitors are international companies, its ambitions are very strong, the lighting layout view, PHILPS LED lighting program in 2015, the proportion reached 50%; pay attention to OSRAM in the office, commercial lighting; Cree is also extended to outdoor lighting, is expected to reach 70% in 2011.

LED semiconductor solid-state lighting company TSMC has been established, the emphasis on cost competition in its advanced process will help LED lighting; Samsung to take LED lighting in the world's top three, added because from different fields of international companies throughout the LED lighting market, all the funds and resources is abundant, so not only competing situation more complex, also increased the lack of system resources in Taiwan LED manufacturers invisible pressure.

Industry observation, Taiwan LED industry for lighting era, shuffle tournament will be fast, with traditional LED manufacturers, EPISTAR, billion light in the LED patent accumulated energy is large, so with the patent is the best chips to enter the international market, other small and medium enterprises to rely on interbank cooperation the strategy to increase the umbrella.
