Today, under the background of energy shortage, environmental degradation, “energy saving” has become the main task of the Governments, and China is no exception.
LED lighting technology by virtue of its high performance, long life and other advantages in energy saving, everyone touted the “superstar”. all levels of government spared no expense to support it, in order to “energy saving” policy; brightest investment and private capital investment directed as its “huge market” have pocket it; various research institutions have been “merry” reorientation aimed at it; Various civil society organizations also can not wait to be included in the scope of business. Especially after the global financial crisis, with the introduction of the scheme of the huge new energy plan of the new Obama administration in the United States and the Chinese government to expand domestic demand in most other high-tech industries hit by the crisis, the LED lighting industry seems “the scenery here is fine.”
However, the LED industry in China, the new darling of the beautiful LED lights, we should think calmly about the fundamental issues that the fundamental issues that overshadowed prosperity surface.
First, what is the core issue of China’a LED lighting industry?
From the application point of view, the main market of the LED is lighting, display and backlight. Display application market has matured, the back light market is maturing. Greater than the impact of these two aspects of the market by the financial crisis. However, whenever from the government “energy saving” sense or potential size of the market from the point of view or from the direction of technology development visit lighting applications are deserved is the top priority of the LED market. This is why Europe and the United States national attention to the root causes of the LED technology. So, talk about LED in this passage, it also focus on the lighting market.
The core problem for LED lighting industry is not that the middle and lower reaches of the package and application, but in the upper reaches of the high-end chip. Imagine, if China has been the lack of high-end LED chip, even invested ten times funds in the demonstration project. That is only for foreign chip makers in China to earn more profits.
