"Ten cities": witness the growth of China's LED industry

2009, to expand domestic demand, promote energy-saving emission reduction work, Chinese launched the first batch of "ten city lights" pilot work, select 21 Tianjin City, the implementation of semiconductor lighting engineering, and expanded to 16 in Beijing city in May 2011, to promote the application of LED in road lighting, accelerate the LED lighting industry upgrade.

"Ten city lights" as a national promotion of semiconductor lighting pilot project, has a positive significance on the development of the semiconductor industry, according to authorities expect in ten city lights under the guidance of the pilot work, estimated that by 2015, the general lighting LED lighting will occupy 30%, section 140 billion. When the semiconductor lighting industry scale will reach 500 billion yuan, exports of $30 billion, creating more than 1 million jobs, can not be denied, then China will become one of the semiconductor lighting industry pioneer.

At the same time, "ten cities" along the way "controversy" has not been interrupted.

Outdoor LED lamps competitive advantage

At present, in the "Ten City million" as the representative of outdoor LED lighting applications, its competitive advantage has emerged.

In outdoor lighting, LED lamp for replacing 250W high-pressure sodium lamp, LED lamp, tunnel lamp cost should be less than the cost of conventional lighting, the cost gap is about 30%, LED street and tunnel of competitive advantage has emerged. According to LED, the price of lighting being reduced, continuously improve the performance, rising trend, expected in 2013, the comprehensive cost of the vast majority of LED lamp life cycle will be significantly lower than the traditional lighting lamps, become the mainstream.

"Ten cities" pilot project led China LED street lamp demand

China's LED lighting applications market has begun to take shape, is expected with the introduction and implementation of domestic LED lighting subsidies and other support policies, the domestic LED lighting applications market will grow rapidly in the past two years. With the continuous decrease of semiconductor lighting continued to improve product performance and manufacturing cost, but also related with the application environment, improve the industrial environment such as standards, product certification and testing, engineering design and application demonstration and relevant policy, L E D lighting applications will be in 2011 to 2015 years to maintain a high growth rate. In accordance with the calculation of lamps and lanterns, is expected in 2015 its share in the lighting market will be raised to about 30%, becoming one of the most competitive mainstream lighting source.

Of "ten city lights" effect

Ten City million is a touchstone, the status quo of the development of the domestic LED industry, in this embodiment.

However, at present, China's LED product quality varies greatly, from the chip to the package, although there are companies involved in packaging applications up to more than 4 thousand, but each test standards vary, leading to market confusion. National standard draft can be officially released as soon as possible, regulate the market for the Ten City million ready to apply for.

LED lighting is a system engineering, not only the choice of a good LED light-emitting chip, the cooling system, driving system, two optical design and mechanical design is one of the factors, making a good light an indispensable, the only every arbitrary permutation and combination are good, the result can be good.

China's LED industry started relatively late, the relevant core intellectual property and intellectual property rights are in the hands of foreign manufacturers, from the current GaN based development of the LED industry in the world, the top five companies in the United States CREE, Germany Osram, Holland Philips, Japan Nichia, Toyoda Gosei and other five companies have 80% to 90% of the original invention patent. Philips international patent is more than one hundred thousand. In addition, international companies pay more attention to the layout of the future of the patent to CREE, for example, there are 423 patents valid for up to 2026. It can be said that the continuous innovation of technology is one of the reasons for the long standing of foreign enterprises.
