Domestic LED industry started in the 1970s. After nearly 40 years of development, it has been the formation of the national semiconductor lighting industrial bases in Shanghai, Dalian, Nanchang, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Yangzhou and Shijiazhuang. The products are widely used in landscape lighting and general lighting. At present, China has become the world’s largest lighting appliances producer and second largest exporter of lighting appliances. As of the end of 2011, China had more than 3,000 LED enterprises, of which only 140 billion in annual output value. However, in these 140 companies, no one business annual sales have exceed 1 billion yuan, there are only few only a handful of the who exceed more than 500 million yuan.

What makes the Chinese LED industry difficult to forward? The reason, one the industry is the lack of authoritative industry technology, second, corporate R & D is mainly concentrated in the downstream areas of application, in the upper and middle reaches of the R & D investment is relatively small. Large foreign companies and China’s Taiwan region in some companies have monopolized most of the LED core technology, so mainland enterprises can only be turned to look at low-tech downstream applications market.

China’s LED industry, except the core technology is less competitive, Combination loose is also a major factor restricting its development. The top three who own patent are focused on research institutes, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Physics and Beijing University of Technology; In the areas of the chip, the top three are the Chinese Academy of Sciences Semiconductors, Beijing University and Peking University. Compared with research institutions, more domestic enterprises apply for utility model patents.

Facing the competitors “Eyeing”, domestic enterprises should be hard to practice “internal strength”. Primarily,  increase innovation, focusing on research and development one that can be widely accepted by the market and recognized the new technology; followed by, cooperate with foreign companies. it should be based on the digestion and absorption of foreign advanced technology, strengthen the imitative innovation to improve core patents to competitors, to improve its technical effect;

In short, China’s LED industry business must attach importance to the early accumulation of intellectual property, and to learn to use science and technology to arm themselves, and use of the patent to explore the domestic and international markets, and turned the “trap” into a good led tunnel light  market prospects, in order to fly higher-and farther.

The actual demand is much more than this figure, “mainland China in 2009 will require 1.4 million and 2.4 million global demand, the next large market potential is evident. Some even boldly predicted; since 2013, China’s LED production value will reach more than $ 100 billion, let aside the amount of numbers, but this industry, as long as it is able to break through the “high-end chip R & D of core technology bottleneck, our energy saving and the goal of building a green city is able to achieve.

LED is short for semiconductor lighting. It is based on a solid state light source of the semiconductor chip for the material, relying on the electron-hole recombination, and convert electrical energy into light energy efficiency is as high as 80% or more. Olympic venues under construction LED technology has been widely used as representatives of independent innovation.

It is understood that the LED’s energy consumption is only 10% of incandescent and fluorescent lamps is 30%; it uses solid package, the service life is up to 50,000 hours, 10 times is the incandescent 100 times fluorescent in led industry, it does not require the use of glass vacuum packaging and does not produce toxic side effects and mercury pollution.

China is the world’s second-largest power country. The total power generation in 2007 was 3.2559 trillion kwh, the lighting electricity up to 390 billion kwh, equivalent to the total electricity consumption in the United Kingdom for one year.

Since the 1990s, the main producing countries of the energy-saving lamps in the country vigorously popularize to use in China,while energy-saving lamps that China made are mainly for export, the domestic penetration is not high. The data show that the production of energy-saving lamps in China in 2003 to 1 billion, accounting for 70% of the market share of world sales, domestic sales of only 350 million.

According to experts, since 2007, in North America, Australia, legislation to ban the use of incandescent lamps. EU Summit to reach an agreement in the spring of 2007, which requires EU countries to phase out incandescent in led industry.

With the strong support and promote the application of LED introduction of national standards and national farewell Edison era is just around the corner, then people will spend a clean and green, led high bay light pollution, no radiation and toxic side effects of new high-quality light source.
