In the May 12th meeting of the fifth session of the Shanghai international new light & new energy lighting exhibition and forum, Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute of electronics and Optoelectronics Research Institute director Zhan Yiren for the development of LED technology and the trend of global industry situation is discussed.

Zhan Yiren said that the last 10 years, the rapid development of semiconductor lighting, but also to make a huge change in the overall global industry situation. Europe and the United States and Japan's output is the proportion gradually decreased, for the healthy development of LED industry, not only have good technology, but also have strong production capacity and huge market, if the production cost is too high, it will limit the growth of the industry. The proportion of output value of Asian countries is gradually rising, especially in South Korea, in recent years, the proportion of rapid growth. Because South Korea has not only a considerable technical potential, but also a strong system capacity, so the proportion of its output value will be further increased, will be a strong competitor.

As for Taiwan, the output value of the ratio is probably maintained at 25% - 30%, but the lack of strong brands in Taiwan enterprises. So the two sides have great opportunities for cooperation on LED.
