OFweek Semiconductor Lighting Network News: The recent rise of LED lighting has had a significant driving effect on the related plastic accessory market. The relatively high profit margin of LED lighting accessories, such as LED lampshade and scattered light plastic, is one of the important reasons why manufacturers are eager to invest. Many businesses believe that the development of LED lighting is relatively fast, and plastic factories will open molds or process materials according to market needs to develop matching LED lighting plastic accessories.
Semiconductor lighting has been widely considered as one of the most promising high-tech fields due to its progressiveness technology and extensive use of products. The semiconductor lighting industry has significant energy-saving and environmental benefits, and is also considered a strategic high-tech industry. After experiencing a period of recession two years ago, the industrialization of LED in China has made continuous breakthroughs in the field of light-emitting diode (LED) technology in recent years, and its application has become increasingly widespread. Especially with the official launch of the National Semiconductor Lighting Project, it marks a new stage of accelerated development for China's high brightness LED industry, providing a good opportunity for the development of the LED industry.
Since 2003, the power shortage in domestic cities has led to energy conservation and environmental protection being put on the development agenda of the lighting industry. At the 2004 Neon Light Work Conference of the China Lighting Electrical Appliances Association held in Jinan, it was learned that lighting appliances require more environmental protection, energy conservation, and reduced light pollution. Green lighting has become a new trend in the development of the domestic lighting industry. More than 80 neon light enterprises and famous lighting brand enterprises from across the country formed a delegation to attend the conference. It is worth mentioning that the development of ultra-high brightness and white light LEDs has made unprecedented progress. According to preliminary statistics from the Optoelectronic Devices Branch of the China Optics and Optoelectronics Industry Association, China's LED production reached 20 billion units in 2003, with a growth rate of 25%. Among them, there were about 5 billion ultra-high brightness LEDs, with a growth rate of 50%.
China has a huge lighting industry and lighting market. China is currently one of the world's major producers and exporters of lighting appliances. With the support of science and technology programs such as the "863" plan, China has initially formed a relatively complete industrial chain from epitaxial wafer production, chip preparation, and device packaging and integration applications. Currently, there are more than 400 enterprises engaged in the large-scale production of semiconductor LED devices and lighting systems nationwide, and packaging has a considerable share in the international market.
LED lighting has enormous potential in the decorative lighting, automotive lighting market, and traffic signal lights. At present, there is no high-power LED on the market, and the high price hinders the development of LED in the lighting field.
According to CIR's forecast, the global LED market will grow from $3.2 billion in 2004 to $5.6 billion in 2008, and the output value of the high brightness LED market will increase from $1.6 billion to $2.64 billion. The ultra high brightness LED market will grow rapidly from 2006 and occupy 22% of the global market share in 2008. According to domestic and international market demand forecasts, the high-speed growth period of China's lighting and electrical industry will continue, and how to make more scientific predictions for the future is the problem we face. As a new economic growth point, the Ministry of Information Industry will strive to create a favorable policy environment for the LED industry, while promoting industrial development in three aspects: encouraging technological innovation, expanding industrial scale, and strengthening application development.
The National Semiconductor Lighting Leading Group has proposed to focus on general lighting in the long term, and the short-term goal is to solve the industrialization and low-cost technical problems in the special lighting field. The power type LED used in semiconductor lighting has a significant technological leap compared to conventional and ultra bright LEDs. While fully acknowledging the achievements of China's LED industry, it is necessary to be aware that the key technologies for ultra-high brightness LEDs still need to be mastered. For semiconductor lighting, whether it is materials, equipment, chips, packaging technology, or application technology, there has not yet been a true breakthrough.
The industry has not yet formed a scale, and its market share in the international market is still very low. There are mostly mid to low end products, and there are few high-end products. The ability to develop new products urgently needs to be strengthened. Developing LED products with independent intellectual property rights has become an urgent task. In terms of domestic market demand, people's living standards are gradually improving, and the requirements for the quality of the living environment are also increasing, putting forward higher requirements for lighting electrical products. The new building lighting standards have been formulated and are about to be approved for implementation. The new standards are basically in line with international standards and have raised requirements for lighting in different occasions. We also need our production enterprises to adapt to the requirements of the new standards and provide corresponding products for various lighting places.
