Cost is the key factor in the popularity of semiconductor lighting

Semiconductor lighting is the future development trend of the lighting field, which has become the consensus of all countries in the world. The domestic semiconductor industry development today, has made great progress, the support of the national level efforts are also increasing, held recently at the seventh session of the China International Semiconductor Lighting Forum "policy and Industry Development Summit, deputy director of the national development and Reform Commission to promote energy-saving lamps project management office Lv Fang said: the next few years, Chinese green the lighting project will focus on promoting and supporting the healthy development of semiconductor lighting industry. There are plans to 2015, the annual output value of the semiconductor lighting industry growth year after year: functional lighting can reach about 20%, more than 50% LCD backlight, landscape decoration and other products on the market share of more than 70%.

However, one is the strong support of the government, on the other hand is the popularity of LED in the field of general lighting rate is still not high. To understand the reasons behind this phenomenon, the author of the semiconductor lighting forum conducted a random interview.

Insiders said, LED wants to spread in the field of general lighting, the performance is the premise, and the level of the cost is the real determinant. At present, LED lighting cost is 5-10 times of fluorescent lamp and HID appliances, cause high cost is the unit price and the brightness of the light source of high power white LED peripheral components, the price should be higher than traditional lighting lamps and many products also need a cooling plate, power supply and lens peripheral components.

Related enterprises have said that the early development of domestic enterprises in the semiconductor lighting, focus on the performance of the strong is necessary; and when the industrial development to a certain stage, the enterprise should be attention to how to ensure that the premise of the performance greatly reduce the cost, only in this way can be accepted by the general public.

Person in charge of a LED lighting company, reduce the cost of LED products, generally there are several ways: the first is to reduce the material cost, lower suppliers in the original products of the project the price of materials, reduce the material level or the use of alternative materials, the most direct and effective method, but the range is limited, and there is a certain risk of quality the second is to reduce the cost of technology; and the new technical route, change the original scheme of products, reduce the use of materials and manufacturing sectors, the substantial, but not all businesses can do, after all, technology is a difficult problem long plagued by domestic enterprises; it also can enhance the production efficiency to reduce cost, which depends on the progress of technology equipment and management.

Semiconductor lighting industry as an emerging industry, in the process of its development, will appear all sorts of problems, the cost is one of the key factors. With the continuous improvement of the industrial chain, the continuous improvement of enterprise technology, along with the increase of government support, I believe that the semiconductor lighting in the field of general lighting is only a matter of time.
